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

"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."
"Camunda serves as an automation library and provides lightweight deployment to the cloud."
"It has been a stable solution so far since it meets our needs, including data modeling, which we need to do before we embark on analyzing and optimizing the business processes."
"We are using the BPMN engine of Camunda; we are not using the user interface. We are using just the engine, the back end of this. For us, it is working quite well."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"We were able to build our rules-based API engine, and it does exactly what we wanted it to."
"The most valuable features are the management of internal processes, the ability to execute from design and the model for internal processes, the ability to make processes visible, and the ability to have information about the current state of each instance."
"Easy to use and easy to integrate into the products and applications we provide for our customers."
"It is stable and easy to use."
"Enterprise architecture and a positive sense of understanding soon reached everyone."
"I like the solution's traceability."
 

Cons

"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 user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it."
"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."
"Stability-wise, Camunda is good, but sometimes task queries get very slow when we have a large number of tasks."
"Lacking in forms visualization."
"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."
"It would be helpful if the solution had additional out-of-the-box activities."
"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."
"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."
"I was not so satisfied with arrows in this program."
"In the previous version, the web interface was unstable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use a community version."
"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."
"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"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 are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"Camunda is much cheaper."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since it's pretty expensive."
