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.

PROS

One 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.

CONS

Its 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.

Camunda - easier way to manage your workflow with underlying system

I am fully satisfied after using this siftware. Any kind of workflow that you need to design to get connected from Northbound with south bound system through API integration its much easier

PROS

The graphical presentation, handling workflow during runtime and tracking it much simplistic way- you do not have to be a pro in this software, even novish can handle it

CONS

Might 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.

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.

The Industry standard BPMN platform

Brilliant as an open source tool if your team has the expertise to tailor it to your use case.

PROS

The ability to design powerful workflows using BPMN that can scale for businesses of any size

CONS

The learning curve is significant even for seasoned business process automation specialists. Hiring Camunda experts is expensive!

best open source process engine

We've been developing full-fledged BPM applications on the camunda engine for the past two years and we are continuously excited by the frequent and consistent updates the camunda team provide to the engine every six months.

PROS

It's open source, it's fully compatible with the BPMN, DMN, CMMN standards (so its models could be interchanged with other standard-compatible tools), the dev & support teams are incredible, it's very lightweight and very fast (which means it scales extremely well) and it has a great REST API interface. Plus it has one of the best modelers out there, free of charge.

CONS

This engine is a developer-friendly engine, which means you hook the engine to your own software solution in order to create a complete business app. So while it is perfect for developers, it is not suited for regular business users who still believe in the low-code / no-code myth.

Simple BPMN Workflow builder at the right price.

Good, basic and easy to support. Supplies what most of our business users need.

PROS

It's free and that is the best element. It is very simple and rudimentary but for most users, building a simple swim-lane workflow is all they need.

CONS

Unable to link workflow documents together. Only way to import the documents is to save the data as a png or jpg and then import into another document. Also the lack of font selection is a miss.

Reasons for switching to Camunda

License costs. Camunda is free

Camunda Platform Developer and Users Talking the Same Language

well, we are the users and we ask the developer to develop software for us, but while drawing only the workflow on the paper and present to each other every week, finally we got the software that is not what we need, start from the developer try to find the business platform analyse and put on the desk together, they recommend camunda, I never know before too, but when start using it with developer company we find out its easy to use, and we can solve problem quicker than before we know what is system automate function, what is users have to input in system, that why i said camunda solve our communication between developer and users.

PROS

the design of the process and workflow of the software is very good, easy to understand between users and developers, from the developer they can generate the class of code based on the process that designed between users and dveloper centralize workflow that can work by cross team between developer and users.

CONS

its work perfectly already, i have no comment about this.

Powerful process automation solution

This is a very complete product. It covers a lot of the use cases that come up in practice when dealing with BPM flows. It is well-documented, stable, and lightweight (depending on the actual setup). So far very happy with it.

PROS

This is a full fledged BPM workflow engine solution that also supports DMN. I found it very flexible: it can be setup as an embedded process engine, standalone, clustered, or even in the cloud. It offers modeling capabilities, forms management, flows monitoring, REST APIs and integration with some of the most popular Java Frameworks. It seems they didn't miss a bit.

CONS

As in most of this kind of products the learning curve is steep. Support for databases other than relational is non existent. Building your own version of the Tasklist webapp requires a lot of work.
