"The flexibility is great."
"It is simple to use. The user experience is very good."
"Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"The most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs."
"Its flexibility stands out as the most valuable feature."
"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."
"The solution is operating well overall."
"The workflow designing and integration are the most valuable features. Also, the UI design was pretty easy."
"Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate."
"Scalable and stable BPM software with a powerful case management feature. It also has good workflow."
"The solution's case management is its most valuable aspect."
"It is easy to use, easy to understand, easy to implement and easy to enhance and we can do it as a Cloud. Also it is very user friendly."

"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."
"While it's very scalable, it would be great if auto-scaling capabilities were added to it... one area that really could help out would be to have dynamic resizing of the cluster. Right now, you have to do capacity planning."
"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."
"I don't like the UI of the Camunda Platform, I have found the Signavio solution to be much better for me to create the process designs and execute them. Additionally, I have found the tools in the Camunda Platform are not compatible with some of my other tools. They should improve this in the future."
"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."
"Initial setup can be quite complex."
"There is a scarcity of resources who have worked with this solution before."
"The solution would benefit from more integration capabilities."
"Pega is claiming they're into low code but as per Gartner Magic Quadrant, Pega is not there now."
"The cost of licensing could be improved."
"The pricing model needs to be improved. Right now, it's too expensive."
"Pega BPM could be improved by including token-based authentication and extending its integration options."
"Pega BPM's documentation should be improved, especially for freshers or new trainees."
"Lack of stronger cloud support is somewhat inconvenient for users and implementation."
