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.

"Camunda BPM allows us to have a BPM bot with our own UI, and that's what we liked most about Camunda."
"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 product is stable."
"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."
"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."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
 

Cons

"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking."
"Probably one area I look forward to has to do with AI and how Camunda sees the AI angle on workflow."
"When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."
"Some BPM standard functionalities are not yet supported in Camunda and they can really cause serious problems for implementers."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
"The documentation could use improvement."
"On the other hand, if I were rating it for use by the public then I would rate it a three out of ten."
"The setup process is a drawback as it has many dependencies, which affects our ability to migrate to Windows eleven due to security concerns."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an annual subscription to this solution."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"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 use the open-source free version."
"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
