Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation.""Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model.""The architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based.""It is open-source. It supports microservice orchestration. This is what we are really interested in. We can customize our products depending on the use cases.""The solution is useful for small projects.""The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN.""I like everything about the entire BPM that comes with the BPM suite.""The integration with almost any language, product, and even human tasks, is valuable. It's very seamless to integrate into existing systems. It doesn't require you to rewrite a lot of your existing system. That's where it really stands out."

Cons
"The product's initial setup phase is difficult for beginners.""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 latency of API could be decreased.""There are a few things that I'm missing. For instance, the user interface creator, which I know other systems have, like Aurea or Lombardi, which are IBM solutions. The interface creator, including the data model creator or some module which would allow the users who are not programmers or business consultants and who are not technically skilled in database and Java programming, to create data models and user interfaces.""The Camunda Modeler installation poses a challenge, requiring local installation, which doesn't help collaboration like other online tools, for instance.""It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers.""They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages.""Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow."

More Camunda Cons →

"More visualization techniques and ways to report the data might be helpful.""There can be some performance issues using the solution that should be improved. When you make modifications modify to files there are embedded data within that can take a while to process.""Requirements management needs to be improved.""The modelling needs improvement, specifically forecasting capabilities and scenarios.""I haven't used this solution long enough to know what areas could be improved.""The performance is slow, which is something that should be improved.""We could allocate permissions to use only specific components to the users rather than the entire instance.""There are other solutions out there that have a better user interface."
