Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, BMC and others in Process Automation."The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application."
"It has an open BPM"
"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable. The latest updates and flexibility that it provides around a task activity are interesting for me."
"Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design."
"Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible."
"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."
"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."
"One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the process engine. It allows us to define BPM-based workflows, deploy them into our process engine, and interact with them within our product."
"If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."
"The product's initial setup phase is difficult for beginners."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."
"The user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it."
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options."
"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."
"We're trying to put the people from the business to do it. We are using APIs, and we have open APIs to define our APIs and the request-response that each call requires and sends. So, to base the mapping on that, there was nothing to help. I know that with some tools, such as Oracle tools, you can see the input and expected output. With drag and drop, you can take one property from the left and drag it to the right, and it does all the mapping itself, but that's not the case with Camunda. So, for me, this is something that can be improved."
"In my opinion, areas of improvement for Flowable include the management and creation of forms within the open-source components and the documentation and examples provided. While the cloud-based Flowable implementation with no-code features is attractive, we prefer more control over integration, especially since we deploy our product onto AWS. We also want to avoid additional licensing fees for Flowable runtime user components on top of our software development and implementation charges."
