Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming.""The BPMN diagram is valuable. For our use case of transferring money from one account to another, the connections have to be done in the traditional financial ways. There are a lot of unexpected errors and a lot of instability with this kind of system, and we are using Camunda in order to have clear flows. With BPMN, I can show a flow to my business partner, and the business team can easily understand what's going on. The technical team can understand what the implementation is, and we can model different errors and the process for recovering from these errors.""It has an open BPM""Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design.""The most valuable features are that it's lightweight, can be embedded in existing Java code, and keeps track of the workflow state and the instances that we need.""I like everything about the entire BPM that comes with the BPM suite."", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner.""We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."

"Its performance, stability, and security are fine.""What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."

More ProcessMaker Pros →

Cons
"The product must provide more videos and training materials.""In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly.""They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages.""The initial setup can be complex for business users.""It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java.""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 would like to see better pricing.""Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."

More Camunda Cons →

"This solution only supports basic text, but we would like to be able to insert components such as rich text, graphs, charts, pictures, and other objects.""Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly."
