Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | ||
It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products. 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 is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part. When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version. 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 number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable. I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features. We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users. | The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable. This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly. I really enjoy using the workflow management. Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness. It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications. | We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do. |
Cons | ||
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. Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance. I would also like a very easy to use form builder. 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 like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution. The user interface needs improvement. It should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself. 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 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. | The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution. It is missing some important features that other products have. We are struggling a bit with integrations. It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone. There is a considerable learning curve. | This solution needs to be more customizable. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | ||
I use the open-source free version. Camunda is much cheaper. We are using the open-source version of this solution. It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range. | The Community Edition comes free of charge. I believe this is a very good financial choice. | Information Not Available |
