We performed a comparison between Camunda and IBM Business Automation Workflow based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has an open BPM"
"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."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products."
"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
"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."
"One valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility."
"We can easily define and deploy business processes. Camunda provides the tools that allow business people to design business processes. We don't have to have developers for it. It is so easy to use that our business people can go into the tool and model their business processes. We get time to do other things than just designing business processes."
"It has had a positive effect on decision-making in my organization. It helps us with our dispute process."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow provides a seamless streamlined collaboration within the organizations."
"One of the most valuable features is the way that they are adapting to the market. Initially, it was doing only workflow. Now it has started bringing all the other components like rules within the workflow and then the integration with RPA."
"No matter what somebody's technical experience level is, the tool can start adding value immediately. Even if that is just an analyst who doesn't have any technical background, they can use some of these no quote accelerators to get things from ideation to deployment in a matter of minutes."
"It's a flexible solution."
"It provides a solution for integration orchestration. This solution is for any organization in the banking, telecommunications, healthcare, manufacturing, and all domains and industries."
"This is a low-code software where you can just drag and drop on the user interface. There are also a lot of quality integrations such as TMS."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow is stable because the different infrastructure elements, such as the OS and middleware have been used for a long time."
"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."
"In the future, I would definitely like to see the process administration (migration, audit, tracking) and process evaluation (optimize) features added to the community edition."
"If there were some industry templates it would have helped significantly, because it is similar to a process map for a domain. That is what we are currently creating, a domain-relevant process map."
"The product must provide more videos and training materials."
"Community support is basically what I'm looking for. Other than that, it is okay for now."
"It has a Postgres database at the backend, and it is very difficult to scale if you increase the number of processes running. We did hit some barriers. We were able to overcome them, but it was a problem. Camunda has another product called Camunda Cloud, which supposedly doesn't have the same scalability problems, but we are not using Camunda Cloud because the set of features is smaller than Camunda On-Premises. So, its scalability can be improved. Because it has a single database, it is more difficult to scale if you have a huge success."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."
"The development UI is sometimes a little slow."
"I feel that the features are not user-friendly."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow can improve UI flexibility and integration. Additionally, the solutions from IBM have to provide a paperless solution, allowing for digital versions of documents."
"Improvements could be made in debugging and troubleshooting."
"The main improvement would be to make it easier to implement and deploy so that customers can kick it off and run quickly."
"The main areas which need improvement are specifically around reporting and analytics."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow could improve the integration."
"Integrating the solution with existing systems can be complicated and it needs careful planning and execution."
