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."Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design."
"The UI is very user-friendly compared to other products. The native, vanilla UI is very interesting and intuitive to use. It's user-friendly when it comes to modernizing a business process."
"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
"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."
"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."
"It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products."
"The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."
"The pricing model is attractive."
"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."
"I like the structure. I can see the diagrams and everything I created."
"The solution is the best application for data modeling. It helps to architect business processes. Its best features are pricing and functionality."
"It is easy and intuitive to use, not excessively rigid, and quite flexible."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Visual Paradigm is super user-friendly, especially for new team members. I always have them start with it because the interface is so simple to pick up. They usually spend about six months to a year using only Visual Paradigm before moving on to other tools. We also use the cloud repository for collaborative work, but I've had some trouble with code reviewing and limitations. Sometimes, customers even request the source file or exported XML because it's easier for them to access and review."
"The initial setup can be complex for business users."
"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."
"It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers."
"I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes. I think that there is room for improvement in those areas."
"The documentation could use improvement."
"When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly."
"The support definitely can be improved. Apart from that, the language should be extendable to other platforms. If I want to write, I'll run a different platform, like Python code on top of it, or COBOL code on top of it, and it should support those languages."
"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved."
"For me, what needs improvement in Visual Paradigm is the limited features included in the $99 license, which is the cheapest option. If more features could be included in the cheapest licensing package, Visual Paradigm would be better, especially for businesses that have a limited budget for buying software."
"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 solution can improve by updating the user interface, and graphics."
"There are some connectivity issues that crop up rarely when used with SQL Server."
"I would like to see something for visualizing innovation work maps."
"I would like to see the ability to easily export to groupware, such as Atlassian Confluence."
"Takes up a lot of resources."
"The user interface is not easy to navigate, so it should be made easier."
