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.

The best features Tray.io offers include excellent visualization capabilities and a dashboard, which stand out to me the most. I appreciate that it is very easy to convert the data we receive from Tray.io into dashboards from Power BI, which is extremely useful. I would also appreciate if in the future Tray.io provides a way to natively convert the data to Tableau. Tray.io has positively impacted my organization as it provides a trusted way to organize data results and share them throughout the company at once. As a multinational and very large company, it is definitely beneficial that those of us in the UK can use the same format that colleagues use in India, and the entire data architecture is framed within a trusted system from an established organization. As far as I know, Tray.io has been operating for the last 12 years, making it a very reliable system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."
"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us. It's very good at conducting business processes that are easily modeled and presented in a way that's easy to understand."
"We are system integrators, and the value of Camunda for us is that it's easy to integrate into the products and applications we provide for our customers."
"The flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business."
"The interface and the number of connectors that they provide are the most valuable features. The support here, it's kind of okay. But the main thing is with the number of connectors and the UI, the user interface."
"By using Camunda, we could have the application process design, and we could quickly deploy the system to production and have the product early on the market."
"The platform's approach to BPMN modeling is straightforward and versatile, making it easy to adopt and use effectively."
"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."
"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by reducing the amount of redundant tasks that our team performs by approximately 80%, and the numbers are quite significant with the workflows alone, as we are working towards creating and utilizing AI within these workflows as well."
"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization as it provides a trusted way to organize data results and share them throughout the company at once."
"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by helping us keep our internal database and this third-party service in sync, and it has really helped us automate a lot of that work because it is fairly straightforward to maintain and develop."
 

Cons

"I don't like the UI of the Camunda Platform, I have found the Signavio solution to be much better for me to create the process designs and execute them."
"The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."
"The support definitely can be improved."
"I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes."
"There are a few things that I'm missing. For instance, the user interface creator, which I know other systems have, like Aurea or Lombardi, which are IBM solutions. The interface creator, including the data model creator or some module which would allow the users who are not programmers or business consultants and who are not technically skilled in database and Java programming, to create data models and user interfaces."
"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."
"I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"As our product got more complex, we needed to add more and more complexity to Tray.io in terms of our setup, and that is when the benefits of it being no-code or low-code started to pale in comparison to the cost of making everything slightly more complicated."
"I have found that the error management in my main use case with Tray.io is not as effective as we would prefer."
"One way Tray.io could be improved, especially for people coming in with no real coding experience, is with more comprehensive error messages."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."
"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."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"Camunda is much cheaper."
"There is an open-source version available, that in its core features (workflow and decision engine, modeler) is exactly the same as in the enterprise version."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"
