Camunda Reviews & Product Details

Camunda 8 is confirmed as a modern process orchestration platform, particularly suitable for enterprise contexts with high application complexity, a microservices approach, and the need to orchestrate cross-system processes. The solution stands out for adopting the BPMN standard, its cloud-native architecture based on Zeebe, and its ability to integrate heterogeneous systems while maintaining a clear separation between process logic and application logic. Overall, this makes it easier to manage complex flows and coordinate interactions between multiple systems without burdening the application code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Migrating from Camunda 7 is not trivial: it requires dedicated planning and a clear analysis of the impact on existing processes to avoid surprises during adoption. In multi-application scenarios, it is also necessary to carefully evaluate the most suitable deployment model (shared cluster vs. dedicated clusters), finding the right balance between costs, isolation, and autonomy of different domains. Finally, operational management requires solid skills in Kubernetes/OpenShift, DevOps practices, and distributed monitoring tools, as daily operations are more complex compared to less containerized contexts.

Camunda's greatest strength is its ability to orchestrate people, systems, and AI within a single transparent process. It enables organizations to move from fragmented automation initiatives to measurable business outcomes while maintaining governance, flexibility, and visibility.

The biggest challenge is not the orchestration engine itself but making its value easier to discover and realize. New customers often need significant expertise to design, govern, optimize, and measure process-driven solutions. I would like to see more product capabilities focused on adoption, process intelligence, AI governance, and demonstrating business value throughout the customer journey.

What I like about Camunda is the modern architecture, highly scalable, and the ability to design using graphical tools, teach and test the workflows. The ability to monitor them during their process helps me understand where there are bottlenecks and constraints in execution. I like the ease with which I can adapt the workflows to the business thanks to a large number of available plugins and the ability to call typical business procedures.

We moved from version 7 to 8, and this change was not easy because version 8 is very different and had an architecture change. Initially, we had problems understanding and setting up the solution. Version 8 was still in the alpha stage, not entirely stable, and there were several intermediate releases that caused us initial problems. The training aspect could also be improved for those who develop and monitor workflows, such as best practices, typical use cases, and packaged solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I really appreciate about Camunda is its foundation on open standards like BPMN and DMN. This approach ensures that everyone on the team, from business analysts to developers, can clearly understand our processes. It doesn't operate as a mysterious black box; instead, you can visually track and audit every step.

I also value how developer-friendly Camunda is without being unnecessarily complicated. The REST APIs are reliable, and integration with our existing tech stack is seamless, particularly since we use Java and Spring Boot. There's no sense of being locked into their ecosystem—Camunda works well with any services you need to orchestrate.

At CamundaCon 2025, I was especially intrigued by their vision for agentic orchestration. Using Camunda as a governance layer for AI agents seems logical, as oversight and auditability are crucial when AI is involved in critical business processes.

The scalability offered by Camunda 8 and Zeebe is impressive as well. Hearing real-world examples at the conference of companies running high-volume processes reassured me that Camunda is capable of handling enterprise-scale workloads reliably. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, the learning curve can be quite steep if you're new to this area. While BPMN is intended to be a "standard," mastering the modeling of complex, real-world processes—especially when it comes to proper error handling and event management—definitely takes time. I've noticed that people often struggle with it at first.

Setting up and operating Camunda 8 can also be challenging. Getting all the components, like Operate, Tasklist, and the monitoring tools, to work smoothly—particularly if you're self-hosting on Kubernetes—demands significant DevOps expertise. If your team lacks that kind of infrastructure know-how, you might find yourselves stuck for a while before you start seeing real benefits.

Another point of frustration is how developer-centric the platform remains. Even though more connectors are being added and there are efforts to simplify things, you still end up writing a fair amount of custom code to make everything function as needed. Business users can't really build solutions independently; they still rely heavily on the development team for most implementations. If you're looking for a more drag-and-drop friendly experience, some other platforms might be a better fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The incredible flexibility that they afford you, especially as it relates to integrating AI into your workflows in a dynamic manner. Their customer service is also top notch, responsive, and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish they made it easier to integrate with languages other than Java. You CAN do it, but it's still very Java at its heart but they definitely seem to be heading in the right direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Camunda has significantly contributed to improving our business operations, largely due to its robust workflow orchestration capabilities. At JPMorgan Chase, we employ both Camunda 7 and Camunda 8 in our product. I find Camunda intuitive and easy to use, which makes the process of learning and implementing it quite straightforward. I am looking forward to use Agentic AI capabilities and Camunda con 2025 provided valuable insights about the same. I am grateful to entire Camu da team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would appreciate greater flexibility in the UI area of Camunda. The interface should offer more options for customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
