Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version.""It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products.""The most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs.""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."", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner.""The flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business.""The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application.""The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."

"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes.""This solution has given us a quick time to market, the ability to integrate with the rest of the corporate applications, and the ability to hire talent in low-cost locations.""We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package.""The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users.""We have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape. We had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems.""The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace.""It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require.""The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."

Cons
"The user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it.""It is not difficult to change existing processes. The difficulty was in integration, for example, to call an external web API, and in the security capabilities, to use a vault for secrets. That was difficult.""The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved.""When building interfaces, there are limited tools to work with, especially when dealing with different types of tasks, such as user tasks and system tasks.""Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance.""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.""I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java.""The cockpit features of the Camunda Platform can be improved to make it a bit more user-friendly, in terms of providing a bit more user experience for non-technical users. There could be some additional documentation added."

More Camunda Cons →

"We have had some issues with version migration, from one version of processes to another. We would have to call Oracle Services but on a day to day, we didn't have any issues.""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.""You have to maintain it manually.""Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations.""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.""There is room for improvement in the pricing structure.""Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
