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

"EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service."
"The number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable."
"The solution is good for data models."
"Before Camunda, we had a lot of people interacting with the invoice daily, and with Camunda, those people are now handling only more complex checks and validations, and our processing time for an invoice is reduced from about 30 days to 10 days with about 70% saving of time."
"Camunda BPM allows us to have a BPM bot with our own UI, and that's what we liked most about Camunda."
"Even in the community versions the product is very stable and with excellent scalability results."
"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us."
"The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN."
"We promote the use of this product because it's integrated and has a very nicely designed program, simplifying our workflow and the workflow of our clients, which saves time and money for everyone while making us more productive."
"The most valuable feature of SoftExpert BPM is its ease of use."
"A complete project management suite in one integrated package."
 

Cons

"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."
"It is hard to say if this solution is scalable. We've contacted their support team on this, and sometimes it takes very long to get an answer from them."
"Documentation can be improved. Right now, the documentation isn't properly organized."
"The migration strategy needs to be improved."
"Right now we are trying to solve problems with the Camunda Cloud and there are significant problems with performance."
"From my point of view, there is a lot that has room for improvement."
"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 form in SoftExpert BPM should improve."
"It could do more to use all the data it collects to intelligently manage the user experience."
"I would like for them to incorporate artificial intelligence and be more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Camunda is much cheaper."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"There is a bit of scope for improvement in how the licensing and pricing are done. They are based on the number of processing instances you execute on the cluster... but on the self-hosted mode, the pricing model should be customized."
"We are using the paid edition because there is no separate support and service license yet. We are yet to find a suitable licensing model for Camunda because we only use the engine, and we have implemented our solution around Camunda Cloud. So, we are mainly interested in the support and service, and that's what we mainly use in the paid edition."
"The cost of this solution is better than some competing products."
"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."
"Camunda's pricing is good."
"The price of SoftExpert BPM is not expensive."
