Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable. The latest updates and flexibility that it provides around a task activity are interesting for me.""Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment.""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.""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 product is stable.""Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products.""The best feature is the automation.""Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design."

"The initial setup is straightforward.""It is easy and cheap.""One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive.""The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work.""The benefit from the tool is we can develop it quickly and easily use it for middleware services. We can publish the services so other applications can consume them. This is providing us some reusability and a type of security.""One of the most valuable features is its user-friendly API, which simplifies the implementation of workflows, such as managing inbox tasks for specific users within BPM profiles.""Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes.""It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."

Cons
"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java.""The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex.""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.""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.""In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity.""Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow.""The support definitely can be improved. Apart from that, the language should be extendable to other platforms. If I want to write, I'll run a different platform, like Python code on top of it, or COBOL code on top of it, and it should support those languages.""An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."

More Camunda Cons →

"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption.""Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart.""You have to maintain it manually.""Oracle BPM is hard to configure.""Though Oracle BPM is a stable solution, it's very heavy, so this is one area for improvement. If Oracle can make the components of Oracle BPM lighter, and if the deployment for the solution could be easier, that would make Oracle BPM better.""The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster.""Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter.""It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
