Likelihood to Recommend Camunda Platform is well suited for scenarios where there are different stages in a business flow and the flow is driven by user action at each stage. For example placing of an order on an ecommerce platform. Depending on whether user was able to make the payment or not the workflow would go to dispatch or retry stage. Now the retry stage would trigger further actions like sending follow up emails etc. Likewise, dispatch stage would have a different set of actions. Since every order is important and we need to know where it stands, using Camunda Platform is imperative. Camunda Platform might not be a right choice where just a one off thing needs to be done. For example, uploading of product information by user or periodic processing of heavy images by a worker. These are all either one step processes or periodic automated processes where we can track the status without using a business modeler like Camunda Platform.
Read full review Pipefy is very well suited if you have a team doing any sort of process... for real! It simplified everything from our sales and marketing objectives/processes, to our onboarding and accounting side of things. Since you can share different pipes with others, it's easy to see where others are at in the process and move the card along while keeping others informed. It makes sure you don't miss any information or steps along the way, which is great if your process is detail-oriented. It is a little less appropriate for marketing efforts, but we still try to use it to keep track of things in a central space. Definitely best suited for sales, technical things, and accounting.
Read full review Pros Asynchronous functionality of Camunda Platform and different types of gateways. Read full review Flexibility on process management. Internal automations and connections to different data bases and boards. Easily connection with external programs through API's. Read full review Cons Camunda expects that you will develop your own user interfaces. This is either a benefit or a barrier depending on your perspective on packaged UI. As an open source vendor, Camunda is under-covered in analyst reports. Read full review I would like to be able to add a due date without a time attached. I would like to see completed tasks be deleted after a set amount of time. Read full review Support Rating Camunda provides pretty standard product support offerings.
Read full review Pipefy support is pretty good. There were a few instances where the agent didn't really understand what I was trying to get help with, but that was only once. Every other time it has been pretty fast and efficient. They are also very kind and understanding. I don't think they need much help in that dept
Read full review Alternatives Considered Lacks good documentation. Training and documentation is geared towards those who are already technically adept. Does not have as many data integrations as other full fledged products. Paid version of Camunda is not as fully fledged as other products.
Read full review We started using software we already had (such as
Slack and Sheets) but this software is not actually ideal to manage processes, which led to errors, miscommunication, and execution problems.
Trello is good for managing demand but offers no process customization or approval and
Jira is too focused on development for our needs, and also hard to customize.
Read full review Return on Investment The positive impact is that we are able to ensure the business process is being followed and that results in orders getting processed successfully leading to customer satisfaction and revenue Another positive impact is that we are able to track any anomalies and any errors in the order flow and retry them so that users don't have a negative experience. A negative point is that it is an overhead to maintain so there is significant engineering effort getting invested there Read full review Our processes are more organized and we are not missing any steps. We are able to touch base with customers easier since we have all potential/missed clients in one pipe, with automated alerts (i.e. it has been 60 days since contact with this customer). We are able to keep track of customer billing changes easier. Read full review ScreenShots
