We performed a comparison between BizTalk Server and Camunda based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Process Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Essentially, you can do whatever you like with these systems, and you do not have to take care about the scaling because if one server is overloaded, it just forwards the message to the next server, even if it were designated to a specific server. It weeds out the messages according to the load. If you want to scale it, you just add new servers."
"Compared to the current solutions I use, like Azure Logic Apps and other cloud services, BizTalk was far better and more reliable."
"The most valuable feature of BizTalk Server is that it will turn XML into flexible transactions."
"BIzTalk's integration with Visual Studio is the most valuable feature of this product."
"We can handle a large number of messages without any issues, ensuring that everything runs smoothly."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with the banks. Its messaging and routing capabilities are good."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability and stability. The first version of BizTalk was released in 2000, and many companies still use it. It was stable until 2013 when we had support."
"The product has a good task management engine."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"It is simple to use. The user experience is very good."
"Camunda is a scalable product."
"The best feature is the automation."
"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."
"The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."
"It is very user-friendly compared to IBM BPM. It's much simpler – it's more streamlined. That means even non-technical departments can use it."
"BizTalk is in the past, Microsoft is not going to evolve it any further or add any new features."
"BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging."
"It's an on-premises system, requiring physical servers for deployment. This is different from Azure; you don't need any servers with Azure. If you have a subscription, you can do whatever you want. There are unit restrictions based on the environment (like non-production vs. production) in BizTalk. You need physical servers and databases. In Azure, those are not required – it's all in the cloud."
"The product could be improved in monitoring, managing, and support functionalities."
"The product's deployment can be quicker"
"It's a complex product because you have many degrees of freedom to connect different parts together. Whether it's sensible or not, is up to you, but the machine does allow it. But because of the vast degrees of freedom, it's complex."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"BizTalk lacks native cloud support. BizTalk doesn't offer in-built support for cloud. We need to use third-party adapters to connect it to cloud services."
"In the future, I would definitely like to see the process administration (migration, audit, tracking) and process evaluation (optimize) features added to the community edition."
"Community support is basically what I'm looking for. Other than that, it is okay for now."
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options."
"I would like to have a feature for audit logging, audit logs and audit log management. And some history of use for the audit logs."
"The initial setup can be complex for business users."
"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."
"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."
"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved."
