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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like everything about the entire BPM that comes with the BPM suite."
"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."
"I would highly recommend the open-source version of Camunda, which can be used free of charge, for any software development company that would like to implement BPM in their software solutions."
"There's this graphic that tells you how many lines or how many tickets are in each step. In that way, you know where you stand. I find this feature very valuable."
"It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming."
"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."
"Since day one, our goal was to build reusable components that can be used in other projects, and we recently did a discovery for one of our projects and we found that we could reuse 80 percent of what we had developed on the Camunda platform, and the microservices and the connectors were reusable and that really reduced the development effort drastically for that use case."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the ability to streamline a process model on a BPM diagram."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
 

Cons

"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."
"The cockpit features of the Camunda Platform can be improved to make it a bit more user-friendly, in terms of providing a bit more user experience for non-technical users. There could be some additional documentation added."
"For .NET I have opinion that need more real life examples."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"They have a migration plugin that can be used to migrate from one BPM to another BPM. It is in the beta stage since last year."
"Documentation can be improved. Right now, the documentation isn't properly organized."
"Camunda could be improved by making it easier to modify a process. You can program it to follow a process, but it is difficult to modify the process when the application is in use."
"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."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"I use the open-source free version."
"The product's price depends on the number of processes that need to be automated or where the orchestration part needs to be used. The product is affordable for medium and large enterprises."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"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 most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
