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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business."
"Overall, the solution has been very solid."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"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 most valuable features are the management of internal processes, the ability to execute from design and the model for internal processes, the ability to make processes visible, and the ability to have information about the current state of each instance."
"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."
"We are using the BPMN engine of Camunda; we are not using the user interface. We are using just the engine, the back end of this. For us, it is working quite well."
"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 use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved."
"It is not difficult to change existing processes. The difficulty was in integration, for example, to call an external web API, and in the security capabilities, to use a vault for secrets. That was difficult."
"Initially, installation was challenging, but recent improvements have made it much easier."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"When building interfaces, there are limited tools to work with, especially when dealing with different types of tasks, such as user tasks and system tasks."
"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."
"Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow."
"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."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
