Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate.""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 architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based.""The solution is good for data models.""It has been a stable solution so far since it meets our needs, including data modeling, which we need to do before we embark on analyzing and optimizing the business processes.""The visibility – the diagrams you create – and then being able to automate based on them are valuable features. It's easy to explain and comprehend, and the integration aspects are valuable.""It has an open BPM""The flexibility is great."

More Camunda Pros →

"It is highly user-friendly and easy to use, even for those who are not familiar with product modeling.""The ability to leave comments in the Collaboration Hub is a good and easy way for the employees to give feedback on the processes.""The solution is user-friendly.""The most valuable feature is that you can customize it completely with all of the attributes that you need.""The GUI is very easy to use, where you can sit together with your colleagues, discuss the process, and during these discussions you can build up the model.""The drag-and-drop functionality in Signavio is impressive and user-friendly, allowing easy connection to other elements without the need for excessive back-and-forth.""Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at.""The visual representation is extremely powerful and easy to use in process modeling and analysis. I can show it to someone who doesn't know business process mapping, and they still understand because it's visually presented. It becomes easy to explain variants and what needs to change."

Cons
"The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex.""An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old.""It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive.""They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages.""I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist.""The product does not have a dictionary.""If they could build some scripts or some configuration to get it up and running in a Docker environment, that would be good. I didn't find anything when on Docker, however, maybe they have something and I didn't see it yet.""When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."

More Camunda Cons →

"The reporting is too slow and there is a limit of 250 processes.""The collaboration and commenting are great. However, I think it would be more useful for people to get notifications of comments straight-away so we can react even quicker to them than we already can.""I think the biggest selling point that Signavio talks about is its collaborative aspect. However, there's still a lot more improvement in terms of what they can do, how they receive comments, address comments, whether they actually provide feedback, etc. There is still a little bit more improvement to be made on those areas.""There are a lot of challenges with Process Manager. For example, we wanted to create a process map from an Excel sheet, but Signavio doesn't have that capability. I have raised this issue with Signavio support, but it is one of the bottlenecks we are currently facing.""There are some small graphical bugs, but they are addressed immediately by Signavio to their product development team.""Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously.""I would like to see the inclusion of some document management functionality so that we don't need to integrate with a second solution to accommodate this.""One of the most important points in Signavio that would be a great change would be the management of variants of the process."
