Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model.""The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner.""We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before.""We like the idea of working with Cawemo because it enables us to keep on working, remotely or not. It allows us to collaborate between areas. It's easy to model and easy to use""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.""Camunda is a scalable product.""Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate."

"We primarily use it for storing documents. We host a variety of documents in OpenText Documentum. This includes raw files, analyzed files, and documents in multiple formats.""Two things are excellent in Documentum. One is business process management. The other is its support for metadata.""The stability is very good.""The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum.""The most valuable feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning.""The most valuable feature is the management.""The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents.""We like Documentum for its capacity and reliability."

Cons
"The product's initial setup phase is difficult for beginners.""Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved.""The primary issue regarding the Camuto platform is its high cost of training. This is why I haven't discussed it extensively, as compared to other products that are more affordable in terms of developer training.""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.""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.""The product does not have a dictionary.""I would say that Camunda should actually focus on small cases as well. There's a lot of space out there, for small businesses. If they can, they should cater to them.""We're trying to put the people from the business to do it. We are using APIs, and we have open APIs to define our APIs and the request-response that each call requires and sends. So, to base the mapping on that, there was nothing to help. I know that with some tools, such as Oracle tools, you can see the input and expected output. With drag and drop, you can take one property from the left and drag it to the right, and it does all the mapping itself, but that's not the case with Camunda. So, for me, this is something that can be improved."

More Camunda Cons →

"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones.""OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations.""It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum.""The documentation often leaves customers feeling somewhat frustrated, as OpenText seems to expect customers to remind them constantly about the need for better documentation, as they don't provide clear guidance on their documentation practices.""The vertical application could be improved.""I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times.""OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support.""It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years."
