Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now.""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.""I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features.""The BPMN diagram is valuable. For our use case of transferring money from one account to another, the connections have to be done in the traditional financial ways. There are a lot of unexpected errors and a lot of instability with this kind of system, and we are using Camunda in order to have clear flows. With BPMN, I can show a flow to my business partner, and the business team can easily understand what's going on. The technical team can understand what the implementation is, and we can model different errors and the process for recovering from these errors."", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner.""I can use any other tools to create services and the UI, and then use them together with the Camunda BPMN engine.""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.""I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important."

Cons
"There should be a multi-tenant solution for the platform where it supports multiple organizations on one platform instead of having to spin up multiple clusters for each organization. There should be an easy way to integrate different departments into one platform without having to operate multiple platforms. The operations should be easier with the enterprise solution. It should not create more overhead for the operations people.""We're trying to put the people from the business to do it. We are using APIs, and we have open APIs to define our APIs and the request-response that each call requires and sends. So, to base the mapping on that, there was nothing to help. I know that with some tools, such as Oracle tools, you can see the input and expected output. With drag and drop, you can take one property from the left and drag it to the right, and it does all the mapping itself, but that's not the case with Camunda. So, for me, this is something that can be improved.""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.""Documentation can be improved.""Lacking in forms visualization.""Initial setup can be quite complex.""The documentation could use improvement.""The solution could use some enhancements like adding connectors, improving forms and having a mobile app, but everything is an enhancement rather than a flaw."

"Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly.""This solution only supports basic text, but we would like to be able to insert components such as rich text, graphs, charts, pictures, and other objects."
