We performed a comparison between Asana and Camunda based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."The ability to build subtasks and break things down off of our major tasks has been very valuable. It is very stable and extremely scalable. The initial setup is very simple."
"The only thing I love about the product is that it is beautiful."
"Asana has helped me (as an individual contributor) organize my daily work and given me a way to plan for longer term objectives."
"I love the way it monitors all of the current and past projects, and it sends notifications to keep everything on the track."
"My task box displays all of our tasks, organized by day, helping us to focus on what needs to be done each day."
"Asana's most valuable aspect is its ability to consolidate all tasks and projects onto a single board, allowing for seamless navigation through timelines from start to finish. Additionally, it enables the inclusion of key stakeholders and provides a private communication channel for discreet discussions. The organizational component of Asana is particularly beneficial, including its coding features."
"The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"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."
"The number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable."
"When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version."
", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner."
"The most valuable feature is the scheduling."
"One valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility."
"Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design."
"The solution is good for data models."
"The inbox feature can be a little overwhelming if you are working with Asana just from its project boards and only checking it periodically."
"You need to have an action plan, otherwise, it won't be as effective."
"Some customizations and functions are still not available, however, so far, they haven't been a deal killer."
"In some instances, there were subtasks where more than one person needed to review it, but I could only assign it to one person. I would have to create a subtask under a subtask and then assign it to other people. This could be improved."
"Currently, there are only a few available options, but it would be helpful to have more control over the notifications received."
"Having a quick way to do video inside the platform or video communication could be very handy."
"It would be beneficial if Asana had a predecessor feature that automatically adjusts all subsequent dates when changes are made to a timeline. For example, if I assign a designer four hours for one task and two days for another, and the completion of a task takes longer than anticipated, it would be convenient if updating one date could prompt the adjustment of all other relevant dates. Essentially, this feature would streamline the process and eliminate the need for manual adjustments."
"The documentation for integration could be improved. We require more information to facilitate the integrations."
"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."
"It has a Postgres database at the backend, and it is very difficult to scale if you increase the number of processes running. We did hit some barriers. We were able to overcome them, but it was a problem. Camunda has another product called Camunda Cloud, which supposedly doesn't have the same scalability problems, but we are not using Camunda Cloud because the set of features is smaller than Camunda On-Premises. So, its scalability can be improved. Because it has a single database, it is more difficult to scale if you have a huge success."
"There should be a multi-tenant solution for the platform where it supports multiple organizations on one platform instead of having to spin up multiple clusters for each organization. There should be an easy way to integrate different departments into one platform without having to operate multiple platforms. The operations should be easier with the enterprise solution. It should not create more overhead for the operations people."
"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."
"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."
"Camunda could be improved by making it easier to modify a process. You can program it to follow a process, but it is difficult to modify the process when the application is in use. It could also be improved by making it easier to use the visual platform without needing to be informed on that. Sometimes, we programmers haven't used it in the past, and it's a bit difficult to learn it."
"The product must provide more videos and training materials."
"They have a migration plugin that can be used to migrate from one BPM to another BPM. It is in the beta stage since last year. If they can make it available in the market, it would be great. We are going to have a couple of migration projects for migrating from IBM BPM to Camunda, and this plugin would be useful. I have already discussed this with them two weeks ago and asked them to look into this and add it as a feature. We are expecting this plugin to be available in the next version. This is the only requirement we have at present. They keep on coming up with different features, which is helping us a lot. Its latest release that came out last month was awesome."
