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 number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable."
"The solution is useful for small projects."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features."
"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."
"The graphical interface is very beneficial."
"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."
"The flexibility is great."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"The latency of API could be decreased."
"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."
"The deployment model could be improved for easier implementation."
"Like all BPM tools, they're very bad with proprietary UIs. In general, anyone who uses BPM tools should not expect to use their proprietary UI."
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options."
"In terms of features, it meets my needs, but I would like Camunda to have an office in Brazil and provide training in Portuguese. They should provide regional support and training courses in Portuguese."
"Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow."
"Probably one area I look forward to has to do with AI and how Camunda sees the AI angle on workflow."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're using the free version. We used the Enterprise version for some time. If I compare free versus what we paid at that time, the Enterprise version costs a lot. For the additional functionality that we got with the Enterprise version, it was too costly."
"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."
"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"We have an annual subscription to this solution."
"There is an open-source version available, that in its core features (workflow and decision engine, modeler) is exactly the same as in the enterprise version."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
