Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""The most valuable feature is the scheduling.""Easy to use and easy to integrate into the products and applications we provide for our customers.""Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products.""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 flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business.""The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us. It's very good at conducting business processes that are easily modeled and presented in a way that's easy to understand."

"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually.""We were able to meet all of the requirements for functionality that were specified, and we did not experience challenges where we had to compromise on functionality.""It has a lot of features for creating and managing workflows, as well as for integrating with other applications. Nintex offers features, particularly to ensure a user-friendly experience.""It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper.""I really like the visual representation. It actually looks like a flow chart, which is nicer than a SharePoint Designer workflow, which doesn't have that ability.""It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless.""This tool set makes it easy to integrate current processes and increase adoption rates and usage for the tool, as well as the process changes to update it on the fly.""NWC forms could be better. Also, the ability to build workflows that are not dependent on SharePoint is very desirable. The forms feature just isn’t as functional as the forms for SharePoint."

Cons
"Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow.""The user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it.""The latency of API could be decreased.""There should be a multi-tenant solution for the platform where it supports multiple organizations on one platform instead of having to spin up multiple clusters for each organization. There should be an easy way to integrate different departments into one platform without having to operate multiple platforms. The operations should be easier with the enterprise solution. It should not create more overhead for the operations people.""Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement.""I would like to see better pricing.""They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages.""The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."

More Camunda Cons →

"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet.""The Workflow Designer needs improvement.""The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better.""​Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting.​""The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general.""We would like to have access to an on-premises solution. In our country, we have a relationship with Central Bank of Egypt, which do noes not allow cloud solutions to be used. They should offer an on-prem solution with a flexible price license.""K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit. It is just a heavy workflow solution. It doesn't have a supplemental product like RPA. If you want to use RPA, you have to use Blue Prism, UIPath, or something else. If you use Nintex, it has an RPA solution. It is a form-based application, and they are doing everything electronically. The initial investment in K2 is heavy because it is a BPM software. It does not have a low cost because they charge you the same for one workflow or 100 workflows.""It is very flexible because you can design your own main forms, but if there were some templates according to your market, it would be more useful for a new customer. That would make K2 more user friendly and easier to use."

  • More Camunda Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Nintex products are expensive, but valuable. Licensing in on-premise was historically based on a perpetual model, where you’d license per Web front-end. However, they are switching exclusively to a consumption (subscription) model, where you purchase the number of workflows you think you’ll use in your environment, and can scale up from there."
  • "Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
  • "Our maintenance costs are reduced."
  • "The annual support costs are expensive."
  • "Comparatively, it's expensive."
  • "We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
  • "The initial investment in K2 is heavy. Currently, the expenditure is $28,000 for a year. After we go to the cloud, it is going to be per seat and probably cheaper. Currently, there are unlimited users."
  • "There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
