Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling

There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.

Offers good flexibility to users

Improvements are required in the tool licensing area as it is a bit expensive. The tool's user interface needs improvement. If you don't know the tool as a beginner, it is very hard for you to design the workflow. The interface is actually quite confusing. There are a lot of places we need to configure here and there since there are multiple locations involved. The features or functions available are good enough for me to implement for my business activities. The tool can include topics like AI. I encountered an issue with the tool during the deployment into production. The server itself experienced a slowness-related issue caused by the configuration, where the resources were not enough for TIBCO, not because of the physical server. I raised a ticket with the support team and got some advice from them. I then went to study the server configuration, and finally, I found out that there will be a need to increase the threats in order for the server to process the multiple parallel incoming requests.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."

"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."

"Camunda serves as an automation library and provides lightweight deployment to the cloud."

"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."

"I can use any other tools to create services and the UI, and then use them together with the Camunda BPMN engine."

"It is open-source. It supports microservice orchestration. This is what we are really interested in. We can customize our products depending on the use cases."

"The BPMN diagram is valuable. For our use case of transferring money from one account to another, the connections have to be done in the traditional financial ways. There are a lot of unexpected errors and a lot of instability with this kind of system, and we are using Camunda in order to have clear flows. With BPMN, I can show a flow to my business partner, and the business team can easily understand what's going on. The technical team can understand what the implementation is, and we can model different errors and the process for recovering from these errors."

"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."

More Camunda pros

"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."

"The setup cost is definitely reasonable."

Cons

"I would also like a very easy to use form builder."

"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."

"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java."

"Documentation can be improved."

"Camunda needs to improve its user interface for low-code development and provide more user interface options beyond the basic workflow."

"Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow."

"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."

"The product does not have a dictionary."

More Camunda cons

"An artificial intelligence feature that evaluates the quality of the code developed with one click would definitely be good."

"The interface is actually quite confusing."

"An artificial intelligence feature that evaluates the quality of the code developed with one click would definitely be good."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."

"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."

"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."

"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."

"Camunda is much cheaper."

"We are using the open-source version of this solution."

"We use the free version."

"Camunda's pricing is good."

More Camunda pricing and cost advice

"For my company, the tool costs about 2,0,000 Euros for three years...If one is bad and ten is good, I rate the price as one out of ten."
