"There's this graphic that tells you how many lines or how many tickets are in each step. In that way, you know where you stand. I find this feature very valuable."
"I like everything about the entire BPM that comes with the BPM suite."
"The most valuable features are that it's lightweight, can be embedded in existing Java code, and keeps track of the workflow state and the instances that we need."
"The interface and the number of connectors that they provide are the most valuable features. The support here, it's kind of okay. But the main thing is with the number of connectors and the UI, the user interface."
"The solution is good for data models."
"I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features."
"It is simple to use. The user experience is very good."
"It is easy-to-use and it helps understand its data modeling structure through the intuitive user interface."
"Some of the most valuable features of this process modeling tool are process simulation and process animation."
"It is easy and intuitive to use, not excessively rigid, and quite flexible."
"The solution is the best application for data modeling. It helps to architect business processes. Its best features are pricing and functionality."
"What I like best about Visual Paradigm is its simple GUI, especially since I'm a new user. In my two years of experience with this tool, I didn't find it complex because I was able to learn how to use it via YouTube videos. Visual Paradigm is enough for me. I also find the bridging feature in the tool valuable."
"Using the Component Diagram, Visual Paradigm helps with design and control, reusing components."
"Stable design software with multiple functions and features. It's simple to install and easy to use."
"The pricing model is attractive."
"When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."

"Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow."
"The Camunda Modeler installation poses a challenge, requiring local installation, which doesn't help collaboration like other online tools, for instance."
"Community support is basically what I'm looking for. Other than that, it is okay for now."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."
"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."
"The product's versioning capability needs improvement."
"More flexibility when choosing the type of diagram would be nice."

"I would like to see something for visualizing innovation work maps."
"The solution can improve by updating the user interface, and graphics."
