What do you like best about the product?

Camunda is one of the most used and preferred orchestration tool for complex microservice orchestration and long-running asynchronous process execution. It follows BPMN 2.0 standards and provides different notations to perform a wide range of BPMN operations in our existing process. It's Java friendly and you can easily customize it as per your requirement. We used Camunda Cockpit in order to manage the ongoing process and to perform the remediations. Camunda also introduced Camunda 8 version with the latest and enhanced capabilities like connectors and can be configured as self managed/SaaS tool. Easily it can be integrate with AWS, S3, REST protocol and DB's.

What do you dislike about the product?

After the introduction of Camunda 8.0, its now supports worker implementation and migrating the existing C7 projects to C8 will be little complex initially. Also, a lot of features are coming up in C8 which was readily available in C7. Think, still C8 is catching up with all those feature and the process version upgradation becomes more important. Also, more emphasis has been given on the environment setup, as C8 requires Kubernetes and Dockers for working.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were creating an end-to-end orchestration tool using Camunda for our service provisioning system which supports long-lived and closed loop automation workflows. We were able to create workflows with simple API integrations and it really helped us to deliver the processes in production in a short period of time. We were able to manage the in-flight traffic and get most of the insights out of it for business consumption.
