We performed a comparison between Camunda and Visual Paradigm based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"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."
"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."
"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model."
"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."
"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."
"Easy to use and easy to integrate into the products and applications we provide for our customers."
"What I found most valuable in Visual Paradigm is diagramming. I had a great user experience as diagramming in the tool is easy and convenient, even for complex diagrams or models. Visual Paradigm is the perfect tool for me, and I prefer it over Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect. Visual Paradigm is better for collaboration if you consider, for example, versioning, so this is another valuable tool feature that's simple and embedded in the solution. In Visual Paradigm, it's also easy to set up the project with team members and collaborate, and it's also a pro of the tool."
"It is easy and intuitive to use, not excessively rigid, and quite flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Visual Paradigm is the ability to design form flows, add libraries, create organizational charts, and connect them all together."
"I love Visual Paradigm because it has many different types of diagrams. For any field of engineering, we can find a diagram."
"The initial setup is extremely straightforward."
"The application is easy to use and provides informative diagrams."
"The solution is stable. It hasn't crashed, stopped or caused any issues in any way."
"The solution is the best application for data modeling. It helps to architect business processes. Its best features are pricing and functionality."
"In terms of features, it meets my needs, but I would like Camunda to have an office in Brazil and provide training in Portuguese. They should provide regional support and training courses in Portuguese."
"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"The user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it."
"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."
"When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."
"The user interface is not easy to navigate, so it should be made easier."
"From time to time, we experience some troubles when we work as teams."
"Visual Paradigm could improve many aspects. The performance could be better because it can be low. When we have large and complicated models, it has a low speed and many bugs. Sometimes the solution stops and you have to restart Microsoft Windows on your PC. The larger database modeling cannot be done properly, I have to use another solution called SAP PowerDesigner."
"Visual Paradigm is much better now. But each project has its own challenges, which is why I'm exploring different tools for my new projects. For instance, designing reports can be tough, especially with the costly intervention of professional services from vendors."
"The solution is not user-friendly. It uses a lot of memory and CPU. You have to have a good computer to use it."
"Takes up a lot of resources."
"It's still early for me to comment since I've only been using it for two months, but the responsiveness when diagramming needs to be improved."
"The product's versioning capability needs improvement."
