We performed a comparison between BizTalk Server and Camunda based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable feature is its reliability and stability. The first version of BizTalk was released in 2000, and many companies still use it. It was stable until 2013 when we had support."
"We can handle a large number of messages without any issues, ensuring that everything runs smoothly."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with the banks. Its messaging and routing capabilities are good."
"Compared to the current solutions I use, like Azure Logic Apps and other cloud services, BizTalk was far better and more reliable."
"The most valuable feature of BizTalk Server is that it will turn XML into flexible transactions."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"Essentially, you can do whatever you like with these systems, and you do not have to take care about the scaling because if one server is overloaded, it just forwards the message to the next server, even if it were designated to a specific server. It weeds out the messages according to the load. If you want to scale it, you just add new servers."
"BIzTalk's integration with Visual Studio is the most valuable feature of this product."
"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."
"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version."
"The flexibility is great."
"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."
"The number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable."
"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
"It has an open BPM"
"BizTalk is in the past, Microsoft is not going to evolve it any further or add any new features."
"The product could be improved in monitoring, managing, and support functionalities."
"It's a complex product because you have many degrees of freedom to connect different parts together. Whether it's sensible or not, is up to you, but the machine does allow it. But because of the vast degrees of freedom, it's complex."
"The product's deployment can be quicker"
"It's an on-premises system, requiring physical servers for deployment. This is different from Azure; you don't need any servers with Azure. If you have a subscription, you can do whatever you want. There are unit restrictions based on the environment (like non-production vs. production) in BizTalk. You need physical servers and databases. In Azure, those are not required – it's all in the cloud."
"BizTalk lacks native cloud support. BizTalk doesn't offer in-built support for cloud. We need to use third-party adapters to connect it to cloud services."
"BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"I don't like the UI of the Camunda Platform, I have found the Signavio solution to be much better for me to create the process designs and execute them. Additionally, I have found the tools in the Camunda Platform are not compatible with some of my other tools. They should improve this in the future."
"It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive."
"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 migration strategy needs to be improved."
"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java."
"Initial setup can be quite complex."
"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking. When it comes to Alfresco, there are thousands of resources that can help you to utilize within AWS and its Group Services. I would like to see the usage of Camunda BPM on Amazon Web Services be improved."
"If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."
