Workflow orchestration has supported complex enforcement processes and improves human task integration
Areas that have room for improvement in Camunda include the user interface. We moved from Camunda 7 to Camunda 8, and previously we had Camunda 7 Cockpit, and now we have Operate. The UI of Operate is less user-friendly. It may be a little more modern, but it is less user-friendly, so some insights are missed. The UI could be improved. Another topic is something that should have been recently solved in Camunda 8, but in Camunda 7, we had a case management system based on Camunda, and we had our own identifiers in our system. It was easier in Camunda 7 to link these identifications, the business identification to the process identification, and in Camunda 8, this was not implemented until the 8.10 release. We really missed that feature, as it made it very difficult to embed and especially for debugging. The combination with the new Operate instead of Camunda 7 Cockpit made it difficult to find specific running processes. The maintenance of Camunda is somewhat complex. Recently, we had to move from 8.8 to 8.9 or 8.10, and everything was broken, which cost us a lot of time to repair and revert. The complexity is particularly evident because of the architectural changes Camunda made when moving from Camunda 7 to Camunda 8. It took about three years to make Camunda 8 mature, and sometimes it seems they realized they made a wrong decision by switching to a completely different approach. It is not just a matter of pushing a button and installing it; it has a bigger impact than expected, which is indeed one of the downsides we recently faced. The ability to observe and control processes at runtime, related to Operate, rates at a six in my assessment, so that could definitely be improved.

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 most valuable feature is that it is easy to use."
"With this product, we have the flexibility and speed to serve customers quickly and that is important."
"The way to create workflows is straightforward, which is one of the major benefits of the Camunda platform."
"The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."
"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version, and for testing and learning purposes it is perfect."
"The best feature is the automation."
"The best features of Camunda are the design time and run time aspects, as you can visualize the whole process and then integrate your network SMEs or allow business design and developers to collaborate on the workflow."
"We chose to use Camunda because it's open-source, easy to develop, and scalable, plus we were able to develop some of the enterprise features offered with the license in-house only."
"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

"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."
"The initial setup can be complex for business users."
"If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."
"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking."
"The solution's initial setup has a medium level of difficulty. Maybe someone who is starting out and doesn't have any experience with any other framework may get into some headaches."
"Stability-wise, Camunda is good, but sometimes task queries get very slow when we have a large number of tasks."
"There should be a multi-tenant solution for the platform where it supports multiple organizations on one platform instead of having to spin up multiple clusters for each organization. There should be an easy way to integrate different departments into one platform without having to operate multiple platforms. The operations should be easier with the enterprise solution. It should not create more overhead for the operations people."
"The support definitely can be improved."
"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

"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"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 product's price depends on the number of processes that need to be automated or where the orchestration part needs to be used. The product is affordable for medium and large enterprises."
"I tried to get some information about buying the license for the solution, but I found it kind of hard to understand the business model."
"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"We use a community version."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since it's pretty expensive."
