Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The number of historical events is great."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"The flexibility is great."
"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
"Using the BPMN helps us to have a common shared communication language when discussing processes."
"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."
"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate."
"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."
"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable. The latest updates and flexibility that it provides around a task activity are interesting for me."
"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."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"The solution's pricing could be cheaper. It is cheaper than Airflow."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"We have faced problems with the performance."
"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's initial setup phase is difficult for beginners."
