Camunda is the best BPM in the market right now!
I appreciate Camunda's versatility, scalability, and robust features for workflow automation. Its intuitive interface, seamless integration capabilities, and extensive community support are particularly commendable, empowering businesses to streamline processes effectively.
CONSOne potential downside of Camunda is its initial learning curve, especially for users new to workflow automation platforms. Additionally, while its open-source nature offers flexibility, some organizations may require additional support or advanced features available only in enterprise editions.

Camunda, an excellent solution for business automation, standardization and process improvement.
Camunda is an exceptional tool, its modeler is excellent and allows you to radically reduce development and implementation times. Camunda's workflow engine executes the processes that are designed in standards such as BPMN, which is considered the most widely used standard for process modeling for business and process systems.
PROSOne of the biggest advantages of Camunda is its flexible framework, specially designed for the automation of workflows and decisions through standards such as BPMN and DMN, widely known by process analysts, in addition to its infinite capacity to create integration with other applications in the market. Additionally, it has a set of easy-to-implement tools to apply own or third-party task lists, with programmatic control of the life cycle and generation of traceability in the process.
CONSIts learning curve is fast, there is a large amount of documentation on the market that allows us to speed up the implementation process, in addition to the fact that there are developments available that can be taken as an example or starting point for our parameterizations. On the other hand, it has been used a lot and is kept up to date, with a community that collaborates in improvements and in the generation of new integrations.
Reasons for switching to Camunda
Many more existing developments around Camunda, and the ability to perform more integrations with applications currently deployed in the organization.

Very expensive tool specifically built for JAVA ecosystems
We used the platform as a solid BPMN workflow automation tool, even though it can do a lot more. The business users were extremely hyped by the modeler tool (that allows them to simply build workflows by drag& dropping blocks & liking them together in a logical sequence). The Cockpit module (in version 7) and the Operate module (in version 8) were also extremely appreciated since they provided a nice insight into the actual execution of the workflow instances. However, setting up a Camunda 8 instance in the cloud was a painful process - In general, the platform is a resource hog, and we did not appreciate the way it enforces the use of keycloak and postgres. As a further downside, there is very little relevant documentation on how to deploy it in Azure - we had to do a lot of digging, so the whole setup process took about 180 man-hours. Once this was done, we managed to create a proof of concept in which to link workflow blocks to other applications, and to use the .net-connector plugin to write custom implementations for some of the blocks. However, in the end we had to drop the whole thing because the Operate module was only available under the licensed version - which meant a 50k USD/year fee.
PROS- We loved the modeler, we also loved the fact that deploying the platform in a dev environment was extremely easy (docker based). - We also liked the cockpit module, that allows to easily track what happens to a workflow execution. - We liked that the platform sticks with the BPMN standard implementation. - We also liked that the platform is offered both for Self Hosting (e.g. in a K8 cluster) or as SaaS (within their own cloud platform)
CONS- The cost was prohibitive for small to medium companies. They start with a flat rate of 50k USR/year, to which they add hosting costs when using the SaaS option. - In version 7, parallel jobs simply do not work. In version 8 they do, but in v8 the cockpit (operate) module is no longer available under the free license. - The whole platform is written in JAVA and this is also apparent in all integrations.

CONSMight be UI part can be improved a little bit to make more user-friendly
Reasons for switching to Camunda
Camunda is user firendly and ease to handle. The UI is easy to learn as well.
