“We evaluated a lot of BPM Products including Camunda before making
a final decision. We reviewed every product from many angles such as:
pricing model, maturity, documentation, supportability, flexibility, etc.
and Camunda definitely won this competition. Their personal
responsiveness, openness and interest played a significant role, too.”
