We performed a comparison between Camunda Platform and Pega BPM, based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Users show a greater preference for Camunda Platform, as Pega BPM is less stable, intuitive, and might have a less effective support team.
"The most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs."
"The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN."
"It has been a stable solution so far since it meets our needs, including data modeling, which we need to do before we embark on analyzing and optimizing the business processes."
"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."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"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 solution is good for data models."
"Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible."
"The solution is operating well overall."
"I have a lot of experience in this kind of industry, and Pega is one of the best solutions in terms of performance, capabilities, and the way we develop."
"The case management is great."
"The interface is quite simple and easy to use, even for beginners."
"The stability has been good. We haven't had any issues."
"The most valuable features of Pega BPM are low code, no code, functionality, and easy development."
"Can do a lot of things with minimum time and cost."
"The case management functionality of this solution has been most valuable."
"If they could build some scripts or some configuration to get it up and running in a Docker environment, that would be good. I didn't find anything when on Docker, however, maybe they have something and I didn't see it yet."
"Documentation can be improved."
"The documentation could use improvement."
"Customization and tech stack could be up-to-date."
"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."
"In the future, I would definitely like to see the process administration (migration, audit, tracking) and process evaluation (optimize) features added to the community edition."
"The user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it."
"The user interface needs improvement. It should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself."
"What should be included is some UI features and maybe some integrations. This includes documentation on how the UI works."
"The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"Sometimes when we are patching some data from the database, we are getting added as a timeout."
"There are some UX shortcomings within the solution. However, it's my understanding that they have addressed them and in the next three months they will come out with a new updated version. They will be moving away from HTML5."
"The way the IDE works with the chatbox and the taxonomy imports could be a little smoother."
"UI needs improvement."
"The solution would benefit from more integration capabilities."
