We performed a comparison between Camunda and vCenter Orchestrator based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Process Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"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."
"It has been a stable solution so far since it meets our needs, including data modeling, which we need to do before we embark on analyzing and optimizing the business processes."
"Overall, the solution has been very solid."
"The flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business."
"I can use any other tools to create services and the UI, and then use them together with the Camunda BPMN engine."
"The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application."
"The product's integration is good, it works well with other programs and solutions."
"If I need to do DR, VMware can enable me to use vMotion, which requires use of vCenter. You cannot do vMotion without vCenter. We do a lot of automation, orchestration, and simplification for that purpose."
"The implementation phase for vCenter Orchestrator was easy."
"What I like best about vCenter Orchestrator is that it makes life easier through automation. People can request to automate all processes with vCenter Orchestrator, such as adding storage, creating VMs, removing VMs, and extending VMs."
"The most valuable feature is affinity rules."
"We have excellent technical support. They have always been helpful when we have needed them."
"The backup and recovery times are very quick."
"The hardware abstraction layer, being able to make the VMs portable when moving to a different platform or over a WAN."
"We have faced problems with the performance."
"I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes. I think that there is room for improvement in those areas."
"In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity."
"If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."
"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking. When it comes to Alfresco, there are thousands of resources that can help you to utilize within AWS and its Group Services. I would like to see the usage of Camunda BPM on Amazon Web Services be improved."
"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."
"When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"It is practically difficult at this stage to really comment on the improvisations of V central. But more tech events and PoC cases would help the EA to design better solutions and utilization."
"Mainly VMware integrates with other products, but there is no easy way to link with other products from a different vendor. We can integrate with other products from the same vendors fairly well, but if they could make it so integration is easier with other vendors, that would really help."
"The GUI should be enhanced in the future."
"The solution's price could be cheaper."
"There are some update-related issues with the product."
"There are no good manuals or guidelines on integrations. Hence, you need to be asking someone."
"I liked the previous client better than the current web client of vCenter Orchestrator, though my colleagues like the client now. The technical support for vCenter Orchestrator needs improvement."
"I would like to have an interface that can manage both on-premises and cloud solutions from a single console, where we can easily manage the resources that are being used or at least applications. Whereby clicking here and there from on-premises to cloud, or cloud to on-premises, depending on the requirements. If that can be accomplished, it will be extremely beneficial."
