Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Appian and others in Process Automation."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."
"One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era."
"Its flexibility stands out as the most valuable feature."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"It is simple to use. The user experience is very good."
"We are using the BPMN engine of Camunda; we are not using the user interface. We are using just the engine, the back end of this. For us, it is working quite well."
"The number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable."
"The BPMN diagram is valuable. For our use case of transferring money from one account to another, the connections have to be done in the traditional financial ways. There are a lot of unexpected errors and a lot of instability with this kind of system, and we are using Camunda in order to have clear flows. With BPMN, I can show a flow to my business partner, and the business team can easily understand what's going on. The technical team can understand what the implementation is, and we can model different errors and the process for recovering from these errors."
"It can manage multiple servers and workstations from a single location."
"Automation is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
"The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is difficult for beginners."
"Like all BPM tools, they're very bad with proprietary UIs. In general, anyone who uses BPM tools should not expect to use their proprietary UI."
"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."
"There are a few things that I'm missing. For instance, the user interface creator, which I know other systems have, like Aurea or Lombardi, which are IBM solutions. The interface creator, including the data model creator or some module which would allow the users who are not programmers or business consultants and who are not technically skilled in database and Java programming, to create data models and user interfaces."
"I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack."
"I find the Orchestrator UI to be problematic."
"The product's management aspect needs enhancement."
