What do you like best about the product?
Camunda is pretty interesting because it sits right at the intersection of business and tech. What I like best about it is:
1. Clarity & Visualization – You can map business processes visually using BPMN (flowcharts), DMN (decision tables), and CMMN (case management). This makes it easy for both business users and developers to understand what’s going on.
2. Developer-Friendly – Unlike many heavy enterprise workflow tools, Camunda is lightweight, open, and integrates well with microservices, REST APIs, and external systems. Developers can actually enjoy using it instead of feeling locked into a rigid system.
3. Separation of Concerns – Business stakeholders can design the workflow, while engineers hook it into real systems. This reduces misunderstandings and speeds up delivery.

What do you dislike about the product?
Good question 🙂 — no tool is perfect, and Camunda has its drawbacks too. Here are some of the main things people often dislike about it:
1. Steep Learning Curve –
BPMN/DMN diagrams can look simple, but mastering them (and modeling correctly) takes time. New users sometimes feel overwhelmed by the notation and technical details.
2. Complex Setup & Infrastructure –
Especially with Camunda 8 (the newer SaaS / Zeebe engine), it can feel heavy. Running clusters, configuring Operate/Tasklist/Optimize, or handling Kubernetes adds operational complexity.
3. Limited Low-Code / No-Code –
Compared to some competitors (like Power Automate or Outsystems), Camunda doesn’t try to be a full “citizen developer” tool. Business users often need technical help to go beyond simple workflows.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Camunda is mainly solving the problem of how to coordinate and automate complex business processes that involve multiple systems, people, and decisions.
Here’s how that translates into benefits:
---
🔧 Problems Camunda Solves
1. Process Fragmentation
In many companies, processes live partly in people’s heads, spreadsheets, or disconnected apps.
Camunda makes the process explicit with BPMN/DMN diagrams, so everyone sees the same “source of truth.”
2. System Orchestration
Modern businesses use many microservices, APIs, and external systems.
Camunda acts as the orchestrator, ensuring everything runs in the right order, retries if something fails, and handles exceptions

Camunda makes automation easy, its awesome
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how flexible Camunda is for building and automating business processes. It’s pretty easy to model workflows and the fact that it uses BPMN makes things clear. Also, it works well with other systems which is super helpful when you have lots of different tools to connect. The open-source version is great to get started with and the enterprise features add a lot of power when you need it. I am using it twice a week for my work automation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup can be kinda tricky if you’re new to BPM or automation. The interface feels a bit old and not very user friendly sometimes. Support is ok but can be slow when lots of people need help. Also, some of the cool features are only in the paid enterprise version which might be a problem if you’re on a tight budget.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The best part is how it helps both tech people and business folks work together. The docs are good and there’s a big community which makes finding help easier. You can monitor your processes in real time which really helps to spot problems fast. It’s a solid tool for automating stuff and saving time. I use Camunda to first design the BPM and then to automate the task at each step.
