Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Sparx Systems and others in Business Process Design."Easy to use and easy to integrate into the products and applications we provide for our customers."
"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs."
"When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version."
"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."
"We have a lot of users, almost 1,800, and we needed something affordable, stable and something that could be used by a large financial company. This solution truly fit the bill."
"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model."
"It's very easy to use. That's a big selling point for it. It has got a drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly deploy bots."
"The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."
"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."
"Compared to other vendors, it's the scheduling tool because a lot of vendors want to charge you extra for their enterprise-level license to have a scheduling tool built in to give you the ability to set up regular schedules to run and do certain data checks."
"This tool has machine learning and voice recognition and computer vision, which are both quite useful aspects. These aren't available in other tools. It's a good addition to this tool and it gives the solution an edge on the market."
"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"This product is quite easy to install, learn, and use, with our new employees being able to start using it in projects for clients after only two weeks of internal training."
"The product's initial setup phase is difficult for beginners."
"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking. When it comes to Alfresco, there are thousands of resources that can help you to utilize within AWS and its Group Services. I would like to see the usage of Camunda BPM on Amazon Web Services be improved."
"If they could build some scripts or some configuration to get it up and running in a Docker environment, that would be good. I didn't find anything when on Docker, however, maybe they have something and I didn't see it yet."
"The business model could be easier to understand."
"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."
"The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email."
"The workflow for variables could be better. The input and output of task-level variables could be made a little clearer in terms of passing those around from one task to another upon success, etc. Things like that could be a little easier potentially."
"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."
"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."
"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."
"I believe we need to test various OCR tools that assist in evaluating, let's say, six different customer resyncs. We analyze their spending patterns and documentations, but current OCR support has limitations, requiring highly standardized documents, which isn't always the case. With a more advanced OCR system, we could improve processes related to credit risk management and legal matters. We're exploring how to integrate Fortra's Automate with our CRM platform, taking cues from instances where Salesforce seamlessly merged with Automate. However, we use a different CRM, Insight for New Enterprise, and we're seeking ways to connect the automation process within our CRM. We aim for the automation to continue smoothly, even in instances where traditional automation methods might face hurdles."
"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."
