CristianoGomes - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
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.

Enterprise Architect at a comms service provider with 5,001-10,000 employees
Works as a reference for architecture but not very intuitive
We use the solution as a reference for architecture so that we can connect business data applications. The tool helps us to know how these applications should be built. We use it mainly as reference material.  I like the solution's traceability.  The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."
"Using such a solution gives our clients great flexibility and a short time to market for new product implementations."
"I would highly recommend the open-source version of Camunda, which can be used free of charge, for any software development company that would like to implement BPM in their software solutions."
"I am happy with Camunda BPM."
"It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming."
"We have seen that investing in a tool like Camunda is valuable, especially because it's an open-source product."
"The most valuable features are that it's lightweight, can be embedded in existing Java code, and keeps track of the workflow state and the instances that we need."
"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."
"I like the solution's traceability."
"It is stable and easy to use."
"Enterprise architecture and a positive sense of understanding soon reached everyone."
 

Cons

"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java."
"While it's very scalable, it would be great if auto-scaling capabilities were added to it... one area that really could help out would be to have dynamic resizing of the cluster. Right now, you have to do capacity planning."
"It would be helpful if the solution had additional out-of-the-box activities."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"Stability-wise, Camunda is good, but sometimes task queries get very slow when we have a large number of tasks."
"The deployment model could be improved for easier implementation. More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup."
"If there were some industry templates it would have helped significantly, because it is similar to a process map for a domain. That is what we are currently creating, a domain-relevant process map."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"I was not so satisfied with arrows in this program."
"In the previous version, the web interface was unstable."
"The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I would also like the software to have a reference metamodel that can guide the modeling."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"It is good for a startup. When we started, its price was fair, but the way we are using it to orchestrate microservices makes it expensive. When you are growing as a company, you would have more microservices, and you would have more users. There is an exponential effect when you are growing in terms of the number of conditions, processes, and users because they bill you per process. So, the price was increasing very quickly for us, and it was very difficult."
"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."
"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."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since it's pretty expensive."
