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

"The most valuable feature is the scheduling."
"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."
"Overall, the solution has been very solid."
"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."
"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable."
"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."
"Camunda serves as an automation library and provides lightweight deployment to the cloud."
"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure; it is more elaborate, divided across the platform with integration separated from the UI and internal work, and it also integrates well."
"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

"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."
"We had to do a lot of tweaking; it hasn't been stable from the beginning, but with some effort, it can become stable."
"Lacking in forms visualization."
"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution could use some enhancements like adding connectors, improving forms and having a mobile app, but everything is an enhancement rather than a flaw."
"Customization and tech stack could be up-to-date."
"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."
"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"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."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"
"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
"I think Camunda BPM can improve their licensing costs. It isn't easy to find clients with Camunda BPM licenses mainly because it's quite expensive."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
