FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

It is overly complicated. It tends to get more engagement from people across the business.
Capturing business processes so they can be used as an operating manual for the business or a quality management system I have used it with clients. It helps them find information when they need to know how to do their jobs effectively. The process mapping approach is ideal for understanding how…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The flexibility is great."
"There's this graphic that tells you how many lines or how many tickets are in each step. In that way, you know where you stand. I find this feature very valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the scheduling."
"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."
"It is very user-friendly compared to IBM BPM. It's much simpler – it's more streamlined. That means even non-technical departments can use it."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
"It helps clients find information when they need to know how to do their jobs effectively."
"It tends to get more engagement from people across the business."
 

Cons

"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."
"Documentation can be improved."
"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."
"The product must provide more videos and training materials."
"The primary issue regarding the Camuto platform is its high cost of training. This is why I haven't discussed it extensively, as compared to other products that are more affordable in terms of developer training."
"Camunda needs to improve its user interface for low-code development and provide more user interface options beyond the basic workflow."
"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."
"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java."
"This product could probably do with less features rather than more. It is overly complicated. In recent releases, it has become harder to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 use a community version."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"Camunda's pricing is good."
"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."
"In Africa, the cost of deployment is an important factor to consider since it adds to the overall cost. This might be the only drawback to using it."
"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
