Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate.""Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible.""The solution is good for data models.""The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part.""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.""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.""The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it.""I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."

"Its performance, stability, and security are fine.""What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."

More ProcessMaker Pros →

Cons
"The solution could use some enhancements like adding connectors, improving forms and having a mobile app, but everything is an enhancement rather than a flaw.""The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options.""I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution.""If there were some industry templates it would have helped significantly, because it is similar to a process map for a domain. That is what we are currently creating, a domain-relevant process map.""The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved.""The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex.""When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access.""As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."

More Camunda Cons →

"Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly.""This solution only supports basic text, but we would like to be able to insert components such as rich text, graphs, charts, pictures, and other objects."
