Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"The number of historical events is great."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"The integration capability is easy, whereas building state machines is tricky."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"The most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs."
"The interface and the number of connectors that they provide are the most valuable features. The support here, it's kind of okay. But the main thing is with the number of connectors and the UI, the user interface."
", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner."
"It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming."
"We can easily define and deploy business processes. Camunda provides the tools that allow business people to design business processes. We don't have to have developers for it. It is so easy to use that our business people can go into the tool and model their business processes. We get time to do other things than just designing business processes."
"Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design."
"The most valuable features are the management of internal processes, the ability to execute from design and the model for internal processes, the ability to make processes visible, and the ability to have information about the current state of each instance."
"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"The solution's pricing could be cheaper. It is cheaper than Airflow."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options."
"It is not difficult to change existing processes. The difficulty was in integration, for example, to call an external web API, and in the security capabilities, to use a vault for secrets. That was difficult."
"Community support is basically what I'm looking for. Other than that, it is okay for now."
"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."
"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."
"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes. I think that there is room for improvement in those areas."
