Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features.""The most valuable features are that it's lightweight, can be embedded in existing Java code, and keeps track of the workflow state and the instances that we need.""It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen.""We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users.""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.""It is open-source. It supports microservice orchestration. This is what we are really interested in. We can customize our products depending on the use cases.""Its flexibility stands out as the most valuable feature.""The solution is useful for small projects."

"What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations. The solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful.""It is easy and cheap.""It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require.""I find the data lineage features most valuable.""One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive.""The support is good.""The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users.""Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."

Cons
"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved.""In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly.""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.""Documentation can be improved.""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.""Lacking in forms visualization.""The product does not have a dictionary.""The support definitely can be improved. Apart from that, the language should be extendable to other platforms. If I want to write, I'll run a different platform, like Python code on top of it, or COBOL code on top of it, and it should support those languages."

More Camunda Cons →

"Oracle BPM could probably be improved with respect to the cost. When you are using this product, it'll be a bit costlier for the ROA. I think they should do some discounts on these products, especially for the licenses.""Though Oracle BPM is a stable solution, it's very heavy, so this is one area for improvement. If Oracle can make the components of Oracle BPM lighter, and if the deployment for the solution could be easier, that would make Oracle BPM better.""From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining.""It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices.""Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart.""Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption.""It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy.""The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
