Closes gap between devs and analysts, giving them common language, but we had integration challenges
We use it as a task manager. Our use case is to help manage human tasks and have a workflow to which we can assign a function and some criteria to agents Camunda helped in an important way because we have a standard language in discussions between developers and business analysts. It has been key…

A comprehensive and streamlined approach to process management with a user-friendly interface and good stability capabilities
An enhancement I would appreciate is broader integration capabilities. Beyond connecting with SAP ERP, the ability to seamlessly integrate with various backend ERP systems, such as Oracle NetSuite or Microsoft Dynamics, would be valuable. This integration should facilitate data retrieval and direct connections to both the process flows and associated documents. An additional feature that would be excellent is the capability to execute database queries or actions directly from within the VPN model. The capability to create a process map and seamlessly initiate actions like generating a sales order, triggering delivery, and managing the pick pack process – all within the VPN model, would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."
"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."
"The solution is useful for small projects."
"Having knowledge of the BPM and monitoring process has proven to be very beneficial, as I am currently engaged in documenting processes for Clientele."
"One valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share the logic within the rules engine with the business, so you can put it up for everybody to read."
"I can use any other tools to create services and the UI, and then use them together with the Camunda BPMN engine."
"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."
"Version management is helpful because I like to try different versions and then decide which of them should be the main model."
"We can use workflow manager to create forms."
"We could increase the transparency and speed for the new ERP introduction. The status and changes by the new system are now clear to everybody and it is a great tool to train the people."
"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."
"The drag-and-drop functionality in Signavio is impressive and user-friendly, allowing easy connection to other elements without the need for excessive back-and-forth."
"The formatting features are quite good because you can create very complex models, but you can easily clean them up so that they look very nice."
"The reason we chose Signavio is it's a very robust industrial-grade business process modeling data tool, with data capture behind it, as well as a collaborative nature. A lot of it comes out of the box and requires less technology involvement. It can be run well by the business users. That's what we really like about it."
"The fact that the repository is available on the web is the most valuable feature. It's a very simple tool. If you can use something simple and visual, you should be able to use the model as well in Signavio. It has the ability, for example, to track versioning control, so if you make updates to the processes, you have the ability to track the versions as well."
 

Cons

"The migration strategy needs to be improved."
"Like all BPM tools, they're very bad with proprietary UIs. In general, anyone who uses BPM tools should not expect to use their proprietary UI."
"We have faced problems with the performance."
"The Camunda Modeler installation poses a challenge, requiring local installation, which doesn't help collaboration like other online tools, for instance."
"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."
"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 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."
"Customization and tech stack could be up-to-date."
"I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary."
"I would like to see the inclusion of some document management functionality so that we don't need to integrate with a second solution to accommodate this."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"Part of the product that I think can improve is document control. That's currently not even possible. To work with documents we have something of a workaround using SharePoint."
"SAP Signavio Process Manager needs better automatic rendering of data."
"Technical support has been somewhat challenging; there hasn't been much visibility on how to create a ticket or integrate with SAP."
"The solution is complex."
"There is a lot of room for improvement. We've submitted a lot of OSS requests for special inputs we need, like glossary or dictionary entries in Quick Model. Currently, that's not functional."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The price is competitive with products like Bonitasoft and RHPAM (Red Hat Process Automation Manager). We have two versions of Camunda. The first version was open source, without support, but then we got a supported version."
"Camunda's pricing is good."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"Camunda is much cheaper."
"We are using the paid edition because there is no separate support and service license yet. We are yet to find a suitable licensing model for Camunda because we only use the engine, and we have implemented our solution around Camunda Cloud. So, we are mainly interested in the support and service, and that's what we mainly use in the paid edition."
"Its price is decent. Everything is included in the license. The Community version is also good to start with. We are using the Community version."
"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
"The solution is expensive."
"I think that the price of the licenses is between $2,000 USD and $3,000 USD per license per year, plus the hub usage. I cannot remember the exact cost, but it is affordable."
"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
"This solution provides really great value for the money."
"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."
"I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."
"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."
