Comparison Results: Users show a greater preference for Camunda Platform, as Pega BPM is less stable, intuitive, and might have a less effective support team.
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"We can easily define and deploy business processes. Camunda provides the tools that allow business people to design business processes. We don't have to have developers for it. It is so easy to use that our business people can go into the tool and model their business processes. We get time to do other things than just designing business processes."
"We are using the BPMN engine of Camunda; we are not using the user interface. We are using just the engine, the back end of this. For us, it is working quite well."
"One valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility."
"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us. It's very good at conducting business processes that are easily modeled and presented in a way that's easy to understand."
"I like everything about the entire BPM that comes with the BPM suite."
"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."
"Having knowledge of the BPM and monitoring process has proven to be very beneficial, as I am currently engaged in documenting processes for Clientele."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the various workflows."
"Can do a lot of things with minimum time and cost."
"Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate."
"This solution is useful for business process management if you have any banking solutions or need to manage a process."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution offers excellent workflows."
"The technical support of Pega BPM is very good."
"The robotic process automation has increased the confidence of business users."
"Like all BPM tools, they're very bad with proprietary UIs. In general, anyone who uses BPM tools should not expect to use their proprietary UI."
"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."
"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."
"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."
"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking. When it comes to Alfresco, there are thousands of resources that can help you to utilize within AWS and its Group Services. I would like to see the usage of Camunda BPM on Amazon Web Services be improved."
"Initial setup can be quite complex."
"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."
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options."
"The workflow automation can be slow, so there is room for improvement there."
"The pricing model needs to be improved. Right now, it's too expensive."
"It needs more integration with other platforms."
"The main problem with Pega is that it is quite complex, so it is very difficult for the developer to learn."
"This is a quite expensive product."
"Pega BPM could improve the UI, it is poorly designed to have a good UX experience."
"Currently, there isn't any feature I want to be added in the next release of Pega BPM because Pega always adds new features that my team welcomes and looks forward to learning. One area for improvement in the solution is the long learning curve, but after that, you'll find Pega BPM easy to use."
"It is not fully compatible with all versions of Internet Explorer, so sometimes, it does not work."
