Sentiment score
7.8
Tray.io is stable and reliable, with challenging setup but performs well, despite some memory limitations affecting workflow processing.
There haven't been any significant outages in my experience with Camunda.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
We were not really concerned about the performance on the process itself because it was super simple, super straightforward, and it did not present itself as a bottleneck, nor did we feel it was adding additional time in the execution.
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
In my experience, Tray.io is stable, as we have never experienced issues with it failing or being unavailable.
Principal AI and Data Science Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
The biggest issue we have with Tray.io is that it runs out of memory space and does not process all of our workflows.

Tray.io is stable, considering the number of workflows we automate.
IT Engineer at a consumer goods company with 51-200 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Camunda needs better customization, programming language integration, scalability, and AWS support, with enhanced documentation and performance improvements.
Tray.io should enhance user-friendliness, debugging, documentation, pricing, integrations, and data handling for non-technical users and mid-market needs.
More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
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.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version.
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
When an automation fails, it usually provides the JSON format, and if Tray.io could include a summary of what the actual error entails, that would be quite beneficial.
IT Engineer at a consumer goods company with 51-200 employees
I believe Tray.io can be improved by offering integration with Tableau, which is still not available.
Principal AI and Data Science Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
There is a steep learning curve in user accessibility; the builder is highly developer-centric, making it difficult for a non-technical team member to modify or troubleshoot workflows.
Automation Engineer at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
 

Setup Cost

Camunda's pricing is competitive, but costly for small businesses; enterprise edition offers advanced features and support options.
AWS pricing is very competitive compared to Azure and cheap compared to Google.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
There is a licensing cost for using the SaaS model and Enterprise edition of Camunda.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
No one has complained in the finance department, and it is very rare for Tata Motors to refrain from complaining about pricing.
Principal AI and Data Science Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
 

Valuable Features

Camunda is valued for its flexibility, open-source customization, user-friendly interface, and effective management of complex processes.
Tray.io offers robust automation with error handling, data integration, and seamless platform connectivity through a user-friendly low-code interface.
EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
Camunda's support for BPMN 2.0 is a great advantage because it allows us to have a common language to discuss technology and business in the same perspective.
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
The biggest difference between Camunda and Bonita might be that Camunda is simpler and more flexible for setting.
Technical Director / Project Manager at I-way
The connector SDK is also very nice; it has a large library of pre-built connectors that can connect a lot of proprietary internal tools directly into Tray.io, allowing the developer to build, test, and deploy custom connectors using Node.js and integrate the data directly into Tray.io.
Automation Engineer at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
The logging and debugging features in Tray.io have helped us considerably, especially when dealing with APIs that return errors sometimes.
Operations Analyst at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Tray.io is low-code automation, meaning you do not have to be an expert in JSON to understand the components and create automations.
IT Engineer at a consumer goods company with 51-200 employees

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.
Amrit Dash - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation Engineer at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
Automated student enrollments have reduced manual work and now free our team for higher-value support
Tray.io is definitely a highly powerful tool, but there are three main areas that I feel could be improved. There is a steep learning curve in user accessibility; the builder is highly developer-centric, making it difficult for a non-technical team member to modify or troubleshoot workflows. Introducing a more intuitive visual interface similar to what we have in make.com right now would make the platform much more collaborative and easier to work with for any non-technical folks or newly onboarded engineers, allowing them to be briefed faster. Visual debugging is another area where troubleshooting complex nested loops can feel very abstract. Having clearer, more visual step-by-step data tracking during test runs would speed up the development and testing process. The pricing model is geared heavily towards enterprise budgets; offering more flexible mid-market pricing tiers would make it more accessible for a growing organization that wants a small start and scale up gradually. The core platform security is highly robust and easily meets our requirements for SOC 2 and GDPR compliance. However, when utilizing their AI features such as Merlin AI with sensitive student data, we maintain a very cautious approach. While Tray.io provides enterprise-grade governance guardrails and data masking capabilities, our internal compliance policies prevent us from passing any personally identifiable student information directly through AI-driven processors. We trust Tray.io's underlying infrastructure security, but we believe organizations must still enforce strict data filtering protocols on their end to ensure student privacy is maintained. During our evaluation, we tested the AI capabilities in a sandbox environment, primarily using it to generate workflow drafts and natural language prompts from web data schemas. Strength-wise, it is highly capable when it comes to translating simple text descriptions into functional workflow templates. It serves as a great accelerator, helping to map standard files quickly and reducing the initial setup time for basic integrations. For issues, in the case of highly custom APIs or deeply nested data structures, accuracy declines. We noticed occasional misinterpretation of complex schemas, meaning our developers still had to manually review and correct the outputs. It is a highly helpful productivity booster but still requires human oversight for enterprise-grade reliability.
