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

"The most valuable feature is the scheduling."
"The BPMN diagram is valuable. For our use case of transferring money from one account to another, the connections have to be done in the traditional financial ways. There are a lot of unexpected errors and a lot of instability with this kind of system, and we are using Camunda in order to have clear flows. With BPMN, I can show a flow to my business partner, and the business team can easily understand what's going on. The technical team can understand what the implementation is, and we can model different errors and the process for recovering from these errors."
"The product is stable."
"It has an open BPM"
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate ECS a ten out of ten."
"Because it's a complete solution, you can start modeling to automate processes."
"I am happy with Camunda BPM."
"The use of Java is a big plus for our intern developers, and Camunda scales well, as many of our departments are already using it in production with dedicated teams."
"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

"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved."
"The initial setup can be complex for business users."
"The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow."
"Documentation can be improved. Right now, the documentation isn't properly organized."
"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."
"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."
"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
"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

"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."
"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."
"We're using the free version. We used the Enterprise version for some time. If I compare free versus what we paid at that time, the Enterprise version costs a lot. For the additional functionality that we got with the Enterprise version, it was too costly."
"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."
