Camunda
Workflow orchestration has supported long-running tasks but user interface and pricing need work
What is our primary use case?
The primary use cases include it being more of a workflow process to follow, where human tasks and async tasks are present.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features I found in Camunda include the signals, signal events, the queues, and the Camunda dashboard.
Camunda is actually very good and easy for orchestrating complex end-to-end business processes. Their integration with Spring Boot is impressive. The only issue I find is related to their subscription model, as they charge per instance.
What needs improvement?
Regarding room for improvement, I see the subscription model as an area that could be enhanced.
There is still some room for improvement when it comes to response time; if it is complex, they take longer to fix it.
I do not think Camunda is the best option on the market, because there are many other features available in other tools like Bizagi and Pega. Camunda could learn from them by adding a good user interface.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have worked on Camunda for around two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I do not find any issue with Camunda handling long-running processes because of the async mode; if it is waiting at a human task, I do not find any issues in long-running processes.
How are customer service and support?
I can say their technical support is good.
How was the initial setup?
Regarding deployment, it was container deployment, and the setup was a little complex, but once the setup is done, then deployment is easy.
I was not involved in the setup difficulties, but it was taking a long time. I do not remember the exact duration, but I know it was taking long.
What about the implementation team?
The team is bigger, but the one which I was working with had around three to four people using Camunda.
What other advice do I have?
Camunda was used in my company.
I have not used the features of Camunda for coordinating AI agents alongside people and systems within it yet, as that is something they have introduced for the newer version.
I have to see the latest version; I cannot tell anything definitive, but I heard the latest version is quite good, with AI agents and all these features, so it must be improved. I would rate this review as 7.5 out of 10.
From Automation to Business Value
For me, this creates an opportunity to focus on process improvement, customer value, and measurable business impact rather than technical integration challenges alone. Camunda enables me to work closely with customers to design scalable solutions, optimize operations, and demonstrate tangible business outcomes through process orchestration, process intelligence, and continuous improvement.
