Go for it, it is the best BPM tool in the market
Camunda for handling complex logic inside a multi 3rd party application
What do you like best about the product?
handling of tasks and the put of box functionalities for retrial and error handling. It also provide modeler which has all capabilities to handle business logic
What do you dislike about the product?
database size gets enormous when you start using application in production. also, there is no data backup, cleanup policies setup. You have built your own cleanup policies

implementing business logic which involve interacting with multiple 3rd party systems. Camunda has benefited me to implement transaction management which involves rollback when you are interacting with different vendors
Recommendations to others considering the product:
implement a solution which handles each and every flow, take a good look in your application where exactly you can benefit from BPMN
Working with Camunda
What do you like best about the product?
Heatmap , process flow visualization and basic design is interactive. Easy to connect with Java delegates and using flow control using expression.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integration of camunda with Angular forms took a little time for me. It's not a dislike but not comfortable with it either. Wish for a simpler means.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working with user management and their orders.
I find it easy to track a process and isolate it and finding out which part is taking more time.

Nice, easy to use & understand BPM technology
What do you like best about the product?
Its UI compare to JBPM is the first thing which helps to start with Camunda. Camunda is filled with easy to configure and use feature, also lot of signals available which can use specific as per business need.
Its enterprise version has more feature, like modify process instance, batch updates, live DMN update & effect to application etc. This helps us to quick fix for production issues.
Addition to it, Camunda has easy steps for version upgrades, database maintenance etc.
GitHub has lot of samples.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some times database gets choke up due to process variables data for which, we will have to run VERBOSE periodically.
Lack of documentation to explain samples with coding for processes and JUnits.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are having workflow applications, which has decisions at every point at specific steps. Camunda suits perfect framework for such application. It helped me to write less code to achieve application flow to complete workflow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If workflow has to design with lot of decisions, communicating with multiple micro-services, its good to use Camunda
Awesome Experience in using Camunda BPM with Javascript Microservice Architecture
What do you like best about the product?
I like the most is capability to integrate it with node.js back-end systems and it allows with no cost and being open-source.
What do you dislike about the product?
there is lack of guidance or resources available for node.js integrations and stuff.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
main concern for me to use camunda was introducing a robust roll-back functionality and maintain complex micros-service communications between multiple services.
Best tool for Automation Workflow System.
What do you like best about the product?
The Best thing is about Camunda is that workflow automation and it really works well. Also, Premium features are providing amazing functionality. The most I like is Rest endpoint so by using endpoint you can do any operation on current workflow in your system.
Also, it is supporting multitenancy so we can divide it with a different type of user. A nice feature of dynamic damping.

What do you dislike about the product?
Camunda has always dependency on any of the relational database. That means without a database it will not work. If I talk about performance-wise so calling to the endpoint is https base means it's not gRPC call so always performance is the issue in Camunda.
Now a day's Zeebe is more famous than Camunda.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sometimes I'm getting: ENGINE-20009 Exception while completing subprocess of execution ProcessInstance
because of let's said some job is running more than 20 min and before finish Camunda is throwing above error. Lots of instability on database side also.

Construction usage experience
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to change existing processes and create new ones. A rich field for future modifications, because our BI Group company is one of the biggest construction companies on the local market and business needs change pretty often. For example, several weeks ago our divisions have been changed (some of them united, other had split into parts), and we urgently had to change our business logic. And all that we had to do is changing business roles in Camunda to fit new needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pretty high entry threshold, it is easier to learn from someone on an existing project than learning alone. At least for juniors and maybe middles.
Sometimes you're not comfortable with Camunda's database, because it requires making a lot of joins to find a piece of information you need.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Camunda in modeling construction business processes (road construction, civil engineering, and office) such as materials supply, works, and document acceptance, etc. Shortly speaking it fits almost every process on construction site and office. Pretty easy to integrate with other services: telegram, mailing, backend, frontend...
In almost every business process we have to notify our users: a next assignee has to know that he has a new task, an initiator must be notified that his request had been approved, other members or users like chiefs and technical supervisors must know exactly where the process stuck, whether it is finished or not.
Besides, we have made integration between Camunda and Metabase so that we have beautiful graphs of our processes, dashboards for supervisors, etc.

Try to find out someone who is already using it.
Great tool to kick start with !
What do you like best about the product?
Less code,more design,which is easy for all. Configuration based so that it can be easily used for plug and play type of situations. It seems lightweight to start with, on local machine. Requires less dependency. Integrates with languages such as Java along with complex frameworks like Spring Boot as I have experienced.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not see introductory videos on website.The videos I watched were presented by someone else. Visuals like screenshots, animations on the website could improve a lot.
Also a chat bot integration for answering very basic questions about how to use a particular icon such as gateway, tasks. I was also unable to find content which I can efficiently put up in the properties panel on the right once after clicking a task (Camunda Modeler). Explanation of all the labels like ID, name, Input/Output tabs can be highlighted more transparently.
Navigation and explanation of error messages along with an intelligent data analytics (which might require user content for sending the same) could be one suggestion

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating business flows which call underlying programs rather than manually handling it by code which becomes tiresome. Also it avoids redundant code which might be used for example calling an external service. Allows for configuration which can be customized as per business needs and your industry.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A nice tool with simple User interface to start and implement your business process. Do more by designing rather than writing. Takes half day to understand, install, setup and have a walk through of Camunda server and Modeler.
Website has some detailed explanation of flow diagrams, icons and objects used as part of the modeler.
