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

"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."
"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model."
"The flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business."
"When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version."
"It has an open BPM"
"The graphical interface is very beneficial."
"The visibility – the diagrams you create – and then being able to automate based on them are valuable features. It's easy to explain and comprehend, and the integration aspects are valuable."
"One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"The user interface needs improvement. It should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself."
"Probably one area I look forward to has to do with AI and how Camunda sees the AI angle on workflow."
"Process interfaces between diagrams 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."
"The migration strategy needs to be improved."
"If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."
"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."
"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."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
