Find out in this report how the two Process Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products."
"It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming."
"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."
"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."
"Camunda is a scalable product."
"One valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility."
"The UI is very user-friendly compared to other products. The native, vanilla UI is very interesting and intuitive to use. It's user-friendly when it comes to modernizing a business process."
"The architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based."
"vCenter Orchestrator's best features are the workflows, integration with third-party applications, and the workflow library."
"The product's integration is good, it works well with other programs and solutions."
"The implementation phase for vCenter Orchestrator was easy."
"User-friendly and easy to deploy."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The hardware abstraction layer, being able to make the VMs portable when moving to a different platform or over a WAN."
"In regards to the workflows, the fact that we can actually have a full dashboard library of all the existing workflows on this is great. We can see all the workflows and what all the actions do and can work with scripts."
"The solution's ability to template and easily implement are the most valuable features. It offers good replication as well."
"Initial setup can be quite complex."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
"While it's very scalable, it would be great if auto-scaling capabilities were added to it... one area that really could help out would be to have dynamic resizing of the cluster. Right now, you have to do capacity planning."
"Community support is basically what I'm looking for. Other than that, it is okay for now."
"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options."
"If there were some industry templates it would have helped significantly, because it is similar to a process map for a domain. That is what we are currently creating, a domain-relevant process map."
"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."
"I would like to have an interface that can manage both on-premises and cloud solutions from a single console, where we can easily manage the resources that are being used or at least applications. Whereby clicking here and there from on-premises to cloud, or cloud to on-premises, depending on the requirements. If that can be accomplished, it will be extremely beneficial."
"I believe vCenter Orchestrator should be part of VMware vSphere's basic bundle. As a product, vCenter Orchestrator should not be licensed at all because the world has progressed way beyond what it can offer."
"The response time of vCenter Orchestrator's support could be improved."
"The scalability option provided by the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There can be compatibility issues."
"Its technical support team takes a long time to escalate the issues."
"I would like to see better performance."
"The product lacks GUIs. The tool should have more GUIs available, along with easier product documentation."
