Camunda Recognized for “Best-in-Class Orchestration” in Digital Process Automation Software 2025 Report

Camunda cited for its unique approach to agentic orchestration

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Camunda, the leader in process orchestration and automation, has been named as a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Digital Process Automation Software, Q3 2025. According to the report, “(Camunda’s) focus on endpoint orchestration provides a strong foundation for its excellent vision and innovation, which includes a unique approach to agentic orchestration based on BPMN.” This comes at a time when unclear ROI, weak data foundations, and a lack of in-house expertise risk stalling many AI initiatives.

“We’re proud to be recognized as a Strong Performer in the latest Forrester Wave™ Digital Process Automation report,” said Daniel Meyer, CTO, Camunda. “Agentic AI is opening up new possibilities for business process automation. But without orchestration, AI agents lack the coordination, accountability, and reliability needed for real-world, business-critical processes. Camunda’s agentic orchestration is the fastest route from AI pilot to production-scale ROI without sacrificing transparency or governance.”

Camunda received the highest possible score in the following criteria:

• Orchestration that unifies multiple adjacent and complementary endpoint automations that cross application and infrastructure boundaries.
• Support for process standards such as Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), Decision Model and Notation (DMN), and Model Context Protocol (MCP).

The report states that Camunda’s cloud-native workflow engine, Zeebe, “earns top marks for orchestration with a distributed and stateful approach” that enables high-performance, resilient process execution. In addition, Camunda’s support for BPMN, DMN, and MCP ensures agentic AI implementations are transparent and governable, with built-in auditability, versioning, and the ability to swap AI models and tools on the fly.

Camunda also received above-average customer feedback in Forrester’s evaluation, with the report noting that customers praise its effective orchestration. In summary, Forrester says, “Camunda best suits enterprises with professional developers who want to automate complex processes and require best-in-class orchestration.”
