Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Using the BPMN helps us to have a common shared communication language when discussing processes.""The most valuable features are the management of internal processes, the ability to execute from design and the model for internal processes, the ability to make processes visible, and the ability to have information about the current state of each instance.""The Camunda BPMN Platform is very flexible and gives several options to deploy and scale it.""Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy.""Camunda is a scalable product.""The product has a good task management engine.""The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN.""The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."

"The stability of the product is very good.""I am impressed with the tool's easiness to work with VMware solutions.""The backup and recovery times are very quick.""The solution's ability to template and easily implement are the most valuable features. It offers good replication as well.""The most valuable feature is how easy it makes it to manage the VM.""The most valuable feature for us is the performance stability of vCenter Orchestrator, especially in complex situations, making it excellent for managing virtual machines.""It's 100% stable, it's always stable. We haven't had any bugs. The solution works very well and we haven't had any problems.""In regards to the workflows, the fact that we can actually have a full dashboard library of all the existing workflows on this is great. We can see all the workflows and what all the actions do and can work with scripts."

Cons
"The product must provide more videos and training materials.""I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java.""I would also like a very easy to use form builder.""They have a migration plugin that can be used to migrate from one BPM to another BPM. It is in the beta stage since last year. If they can make it available in the market, it would be great. We are going to have a couple of migration projects for migrating from IBM BPM to Camunda, and this plugin would be useful. I have already discussed this with them two weeks ago and asked them to look into this and add it as a feature. We are expecting this plugin to be available in the next version. This is the only requirement we have at present. They keep on coming up with different features, which is helping us a lot. Its latest release that came out last month was awesome.""I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist.""Camunda could be improved by making it easier to modify a process. You can program it to follow a process, but it is difficult to modify the process when the application is in use. It could also be improved by making it easier to use the visual platform without needing to be informed on that. Sometimes, we programmers haven't used it in the past, and it's a bit difficult to learn it.""The Camunda Modeler installation poses a challenge, requiring local installation, which doesn't help collaboration like other online tools, for instance.""There should be a multi-tenant solution for the platform where it supports multiple organizations on one platform instead of having to spin up multiple clusters for each organization. There should be an easy way to integrate different departments into one platform without having to operate multiple platforms. The operations should be easier with the enterprise solution. It should not create more overhead for the operations people."

More Camunda Cons →

"Many times, customers' licenses are not used because the client is not aware of the features and the product benefits. When somebody is buying a product, they just do a default configuration.""There can be compatibility issues.""In the next release, to make it easier to write the workflows, I would l like to see more HTML GUIs.""The response time of vCenter Orchestrator's support could be improved.""I believe a transparent view and better terms of condition between Oracle and vCenter Orchestrator would be helpful.""I would like to see more automation added in the future.""It could be integrated with third-party hypervisors.""This is an expensive solution."

  • More Camunda Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Our licensing is on a yearly basis. We pay for the license and then we pay the support every year."
  • "This solution is expensive and the licensing is more attractive for Haveri."
  • "The price is reasonable, and one of the reasons that this product was selected."
  • "We provide the VMware solution to our clients, for which they pay a perpetual license."
  • "The concept of hyper-convergence is smart. I don't know if it can be applied with less cost to be more affordable for small or medium-sized companies. The cost is a very important factor for it. We are currently depending on SAN storage. However, the hyper-converged solutions are depending on the storage within the hosts, such as vSAN in the VMware. It is a smart solution."
  • "We pay a yearly fee, based on our entries."
  • "The licensing module is somewhat complex. Calculating the cost is complicated. Many of our clients are unclear about the billing system and the traffic metering."
  • "The licensing cost is manageable because they have different versions available, standard, essential, and advanced."
