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."The number of historical events is great."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"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."
"AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features are the management of internal processes, the ability to execute from design and the model for internal processes, the ability to make processes visible, and the ability to have information about the current state of each instance."
"Having knowledge of the BPM and monitoring process has proven to be very beneficial, as I am currently engaged in documenting processes for Clientele."
"The most valuable feature is the scheduling."
"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate."
"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."
"The architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based."
"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"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."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"I would say that Camunda should actually focus on small cases as well. There's a lot of space out there, for small businesses. If they can, they should cater to them."
"When building interfaces, there are limited tools to work with, especially when dealing with different types of tasks, such as user tasks and system tasks."
"Initial setup can be quite complex."
"If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."
"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."
"In terms of features, it meets my needs, but I would like Camunda to have an office in Brazil and provide training in Portuguese. They should provide regional support and training courses in Portuguese."
"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."
"The product does not have a dictionary."
