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

"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."
"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate."
"The integration with almost any language, product, and even human tasks, is valuable. It's very seamless to integrate into existing systems. It doesn't require you to rewrite a lot of your existing system. That's where it really stands out."
"The graphical interface is very beneficial."
"Having knowledge of the BPM and monitoring process has proven to be very beneficial, as I am currently engaged in documenting processes for Clientele."
"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."
"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."
"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."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"The product does not have a dictionary."
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."
"If they could build some scripts or some configuration to get it up and running in a Docker environment, that would be good. I didn't find anything when on Docker, however, maybe they have something and I didn't see it yet."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"I would say that Camunda should actually focus on small cases as well. There's a lot of space out there, for small businesses. If they can, they should cater to them."
"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an annual subscription to this solution."
"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"There is a bit of scope for improvement in how the licensing and pricing are done. They are based on the number of processing instances you execute on the cluster... but on the self-hosted mode, the pricing model should be customized."
"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."
"Camunda's pricing is good."
"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."
