We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy.""It is a scalable product. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.""When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version.""I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important.""The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it.""It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products.""It has an open BPM""We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."

"The reporting is easy and helpful.""The reporting features are useful.""CRM solution that performs well. It's multifeatured, so you can use it for different activities such as managing opportunities, managing revenue, reviewing leads, etc.""The solution can scale massively. I've been quite impressed.""It is a good platform that shows consolidation of information for our customer base.""Salesforce Sales Cloud is a stable solution.""When it comes to the lead management process, we track and evaluate the different stages and the challenges in each stage. It's so that the entire team has visibility of what's going on with each individual lead.""The automation of Salesforce Sales Cloud makes the process very easier to focus on leads and converts them automatically to accounts, contacts, and opportunities."

Cons
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options.""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.""The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform.""It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive.""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.""I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java.""I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."

More Camunda Cons →

"Sales Cloud could improve in areas such as AI integration, particularly for templates.""As a cloud solution with web browser, it's different than my classical way of thinking. It's modern, but for older people, maybe it's not that understandable. It could be more user-friendly, maybe with an option to switch between interfaces.""Salesforce Sales Cloud could improve by allowing some customization of the processes with coding to avoid the problem of memory. When we use only flows in the process, which can become large flows, they are more complicated to debug and also for maintenance. It's better to invoke some Apex classes to make the process better.""I think the user experience could be improved. I would like the user interface to be a bit more user-friendly and modern.""It would be nice if they had an ERP offering or a firm strategic partnership with a best-in-class ERP. So rather than say they're just ERP agnostic, you would pick whichever ERP you want, which is very generic. I think it would have a lot of merit if they partnered strategically with a best-in-class trusted ERP platform or acquired an ERP platform.""It is a bit pricey.""Salesforce Sales Cloud needs a more user-friendly interface.""It does not include a professional accounting system, it is operations and it is CRM. It is not capable of accounting things."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."
  • "We are using the open-source version of this solution."
  • "Camunda is much cheaper."
  • "I use the open-source free version."
  • "The open-source version of the product is free to use."
  • "The cost of this solution is better than some competing products."
  • "Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
  • "We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
  • More Camunda Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The subscription is on a monthly basis."
  • "The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
  • "It is a premium product, so it is not the cheapest solution. I think if it's implemented well, and you're getting the soft cost benefits, the efficiencies, it's justified. But not if you're looking at just apples for apples as a subscription, without the complexity that you can achieve. It can deal with complex business requirements. Some other CRMs can't. But you certainly pay, so it's a premium-charged solution. It's one of the more expensive ones."
  • "I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be expensive. However, it is the number one CRM solution in the world. It is worth the money."
  • "The main thing is it is costly. Salesforce it is not cheap, it's costly. Some of our customers say it is a costly solution. So, we have lost some sale opportunities regarding the high price. This is the main thing that we are facing. It is sales per user and the user price is about $150 per month, per user for the Enterprise Edition. The other edition is less than this, but it is costly. A company that has 70 or 80 users would pay more than $8,000 USD yearly because it is cloud based."
  • "My understanding is that Salesforce is a little bit expensive, but in terms of the efficiencies, automation, and visibility, I think it's definitely value for money."
  • "Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
  • "Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
