We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | ||
"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly." "We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users." "I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features." "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." "When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version." "The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part." "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." "It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products." | "While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business." "This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer." | "Putting details into the process flow and being able to link other objects into the diagrams are very helpful features." "It is easy to learn and implement." "I enjoy the fact that I can go into detail with Visio. In shared communications, I can inspect for any fault in my processes." "Visio has improved our organization through an essential collaboration with the other Microsoft applications like SharePoint and Excel. So basically in the earlier days, what used to happen, a majority of the organization captured all the as-is process, the time and motion data in the form of Excel and then they used to create process diagrams using other freeware applications. Collaboration allows easy and convenient sharing with other stakeholders, that is really helpful with Visio." "The Data Objects are hyperlinked to the Standard Operating Procedures, Letters, and Forms." "I like to use Visio because it gives me a quick view of the things I had to put in a model for a company. I don't use it as an interface, though." "It keeps track of its connections as you move things around." "The most valuable features are process mapping and identifying responsibilities." |
Cons | ||
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options." "When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking. When it comes to Alfresco, there are thousands of resources that can help you to utilize within AWS and its Group Services. I would like to see the usage of Camunda BPM on Amazon Web Services be improved." "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." "I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution." "I would like to have a feature for audit logging, audit logs and audit log management. And some history of use for the audit logs." "I would also like a very easy to use form builder." "Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance." "If there were some industry templates it would have helped significantly, because it is similar to a process map for a domain. That is what we are currently creating, a domain-relevant process map." | "As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling." "There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on." | "I would like to be able to present diagrams in multiple ways, such as a Swimlane diagram." "It does not integrate well with other solutions." "Transferring data was one of the issues that I expected Visio to have resolved. I use the older version." "The one particular thing which I would like to see improved is in comparison to other products in the market, and is still lacking in Visio, is publishing on a web application. For example, there is a freeware application business process modeling tool, Bizagi." "I would like to see included in the next release is the implementation of web publishing." "The Auto-Align has improved significantly from the previous release; however, it still jumbles the model if your process diagram has a fair degree of complexity." "Something that needs to improve, is the interface interaction with other tools." "System architecture could be improved." |

"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost." "I think Camunda BPM can improve their licensing costs. It isn't easy to find clients with Camunda BPM licenses mainly because it's quite expensive." | "Pricing will differ between enterprises based on needs such as customization, but the company uses a standardized algorithm for determining this." | "It has a lower price point than the competition." "The cost of the software is reasonably priced." "The price is reasonable for individual use but for an organization, the costs is high."

"The yearly cost is approximately $400 CAD ($300 USD)." "There are some cheaper as well as free solutions." "The licensing process is actually a breeze.
