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

"One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."
"When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version."
"The amazing thing for me was how easy it was to deploy new processes and changes in the process models, which was super easy, super efficient, and super quick."
"The number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable."
"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."
"Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design."
"We had great service directly from QPR."
"It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."
"​Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."
 

Cons

"I would also like a very easy to use form builder."
"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."
"In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly."
"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."
"For .NET I have opinion that need more real life examples."
"It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"There is definitely a need to produce models in XML. There is already something available, but it seems that transferring between the different modelling tools is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"Its price is decent. Everything is included in the license. The Community version is also good to start with. We are using the Community version."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"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."
"I use the open-source free version."
"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."
"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
