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.

Unified customer service has provided real-time insights and supports flexible, intuitive workflows
We have a customer service application for customer service in a smaller group, and for most purposes, we use the direct platform. It is a unified channel that depends upon the business. We do not use all channels, but we leverage them wherever they are applicable. The interface is intuitive and depends upon the business. Whenever there is a request for information, we come up with a design and then provide the opportunity to see if it is usable or if they would prefer it in another fashion. Out of the box, it is acceptable. It has all the features required for supporting the customer service side. Although we are not using the voice feature, it gives people the flexibility to interact and get real information. Real-time information is available. It includes both a dashboard and the customer service front desk UI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My advice is try to understand and use it because it's really an amazing solution."
"Using such a solution gives our clients great flexibility and a short time to market for new product implementations."
"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"Overall, the solution has been very solid."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"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."
"Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design."
"It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is case management and different configurations."
"The technical support provided for all the solutions from Pega is of the same quality since they have their own internal teams and the same mechanisms, which are good for dealing with issues of different users."
"It has all the features required for supporting the customer service side, and although we are not using the voice feature, it gives people the flexibility to interact and get real information with real-time information available."
"Pega Customer Service is scalable."
"The product is scalable. It works efficiently for changing existing features."
 

Cons

"In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly."
"I would also like a very easy to use form builder."
"I'd like to see a number of preset features and configurations included in the solution to make it more of a plug-and-play kind of product."
"Right now we are trying to solve problems with the Camunda Cloud and there are significant problems with performance."
"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The user interface needs improvement; it should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"For .NET I have opinion that need more real life examples."
"Pega JVM function needs to be improved."
"The only concern I have seen about the product is its prices."
"The licensing cost could also be improved."
"Improvements are always required, but at this moment, the UI is the key area that is not flexible enough for us."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is competitive with products like Bonitasoft and RHPAM (Red Hat Process Automation Manager). We have two versions of Camunda. The first version was open source, without support, but then we got a supported version."
"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."
"The cost of this solution is better than some competing products."
"The solution provides licenses to users either based on the number of users or the number of cases that an end user creates."
"The tool's pricing is flexible, and I rate it four to five out of ten."
