Supports long-running asynchronous processes effectively but has not evolved much in recent years
I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself. I did not see any innovations on that aspect, especially for the open-source version. I was making some tests recently and the tool seemed pretty much the same as it was three or four years ago. Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version. To be honest, it did not change much from the Activiti initial version. Activiti was pretty much what Camunda is today. They invested a lot on Zeebe and made it the engine for their SaaS cloud version. Camunda itself, the embedded engine, did not evolve too much. They could invest more on that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its flexibility stands out as the most valuable feature."
"When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version."
"I can use any other tools to create services and the UI, and then use them together with the Camunda BPMN engine."
"The way to create workflows is straightforward, which is one of the major benefits of the Camunda platform."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"The best features of Camunda are the design time and run time aspects, as you can visualize the whole process and then integrate your network SMEs or allow business design and developers to collaborate on the workflow."
"The Camunda BPMN Platform is very flexible and gives several options to deploy and scale it."
"The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application."
"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."
"I like that all the features come as part of a standard license and that one license covers everything."
"The stability of the product is very good."
 

Cons

"In terms of areas for improvement, we are struggling with organizing the BPMN workflows."
"Documentation can be improved. Right now, the documentation isn't properly organized."
"Camunda needs to improve its user interface for low-code development and provide more user interface options beyond the basic workflow."
"The cockpit features of the Camunda Platform can be improved to make it a bit more user-friendly, in terms of providing a bit more user experience for non-technical users. There could be some additional documentation added."
"There is some confusion when deploying new models because you have to explicitly specify only the new model."
"In the future, I would definitely like to see the process administration (migration, audit, tracking) and process evaluation (optimize) features added to the community edition."
"Camunda has room for improvement, and I believe some of this feedback has already been taken up in Camunda 8."
"I do think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack."
"There are a number of drawbacks. Mainly, the collaboration is lacking to some extent - at least when it comes to how we are using it."
"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."
"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."
"My main complaint is that the solution is not open source in the sense that you can't have your own in-house developments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"In Africa, the cost of deployment is an important factor to consider since it adds to the overall cost. This might be the only drawback to using it."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"We use a community version."
