Great orchistrator
What do you like best about the product?
A good tool to do business orchastration
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up self managed takes some time on openshift
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Process Management
Cloud deployment enhanced by automation libraries but low-code development needs a better interface
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Camunda is used for process automation with the bot automation. We use API from IPT software, and Camunda serves as a service for workflows. It has improved the cost benefits on Google Cloud.
What is most valuable?
Camunda serves as an automation library and provides lightweight deployment to the cloud. The personal thing for workflow automation is significant.
What needs improvement?
Camunda needs to improve its user interface for low-code development and provide more user interface options beyond the basic workflow. It also requires further development to compete with platform features, like the deployment and development life cycle.
For how long have I used the solution?
We started using Camunda one year ago and began implementing some processes on the platform.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Camunda has benefits concerning the cost on Google Cloud, however, we have to invest more in development for scalability.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have used IBM BPM before, however, Camunda was adopted for certain processes. Camunda doesn't require a license and offers a free version.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Camunda is cheap because it doesn't require a license. We can use the free version and manage everything in the company.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We plan to use Camunda workflows and relate them to IBM BPM in the future.
What other advice do I have?
Camunda's platform could benefit from better UI for low-code development. Other competitor platforms have more comprehensive tools for deployment and development.
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.
Great BPMN framework

What do you dislike about the product?
though it is the best BPM open source tool it is complex to learn and also lacks of built-in user interface. This needs to be improved on these things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For making Business process workflow and also used for complex workflow orchestration.
We also use the feature of resource allocation and task Assignments

Awesome to use, long time to ramp up on
What do you like best about the product?
Camunda's cockpit and history instances make it super easy to operationalize a service.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a lot of history and legacy in the different APIs, so it takes a fair amount of time to ramp on the nuances of the different APIs.
A lot of undocumented use cases require going through the github and understanding the internals to get something to work as expected.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Camunda is used as an orchestrator to go through a business process that requires synchronizing many different systems.
The java delegate interface makes it easy for us to add orchestration to our services.

Fully API-based, enabling easy integration and customization but lacks sufficient built-in dashboards and reports for operations and monitoring
What is our primary use case?
We use the Camunda platform for workflow management.
What is most valuable?
The architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based. Our approach is more flexible, so I can use the Camunda API to generate my own workflow blueprint.
Additionally, it's cloud-ready as we have deployed it on the Kubernetes container platform, which aligns with our cloud-first architecture. These are the aspects we like about Camunda from the IT side.
What needs improvement?
Camunda lacks sufficient dashboards for operations and reporting. Although I can create dashboards and reports using the provided framework, it's not as enterprise-ready as some of the competitors in the market. They offer ready-made dashboards that are easier to create compared to Camunda. That's an area where Camunda can improve.
So, in future releases, I would like to see better dashboards.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Camunda Platform for a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate it around seven out of ten. We haven't encountered significant issues or unavailability of services.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In my organization, at least 100 users are using this solution. I would rate it an eight out of ten in terms of scalability.
What about the implementation team?
It requires maintenance such as patching and other regular tasks.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I would definitely recommend it.
Overall, I would rate the solution a six out of ten because Camunda does not provide a prebuilt interface. I have to develop it myself. To provide a comprehensive product to my business users, I need a frontend. The frontend provided by Camunda vendors is very basic. Most of the vendor's customers develop their own UI or frontend using technologies like React, React Native, or JavaScript frameworks.
So I rate Camunda Platform a six out of ten due to the incomplete delivery of a frontend. Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform. This is an area where I'm still exploring how well the competition performs. That's why I'm giving a slightly lower rating. However, in terms of orchestration, API capabilities, and cloud compatibility, Camunda is very good.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have used IBM BPM and Newgen in the past. We are still using IBM BPM alongside Camunda.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for Automation workflows and not for Business Process Modelling.
