Process orchestration tools enable organizations to define, automate, and monitor end-to-end workflows, ensuring that tasks are executed in the correct sequence and that data is seamlessly transferred between systems.
In September, Forrester called adaptive process orchestration (APO) the “next level of maturation” in enterprise automation, dedicating new qualitative and evaluative research to this software category.
As enterprises navigate macroeconomic uncertainties, rapid technological advances, and growing business agility demands, the need for a unified backbone to connect end-to-end processes has never been greater.
Process orchestration fundamentally enables this shift, helping organizations manage complex workflows that span human workers, digital workers, artificial intelligence (AI) agents, and enterprise systems, according to the Process Orchestration Products PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025 from Everest Group.
Process orchestration’s importance is growing as enterprises look to scale automation, embed intelligence, and enhance governance across their operations.
8 process orchestration tools!
Here are eight leading process orchestration tools on the market, according to Everest Group’s latest report.
1. Appian
Appian process orchestration is a low-code platform that connects people, AI, bots, and enterprise systems into unified, end-to-end automated workflows, managing complex processes from start to finish, providing real-time visibility, and enabling rapid adaptation for better efficiency and customer experiences.
It goes beyond simple automation by intelligently coordinating diverse technologies and human tasks for smooth handoffs and streamlined operations, tackling ‘system sprawl’ across disparate applications.
2. Camunda
Camunda process orchestration is a cloud-native platform for designing, automating, and managing complex, end-to-end business processes. It uses open standards like BPMN for visual modeling and collaboration between IT and business teams, ensuring flexibility and scalability for digital transformation.
Camunda helps companies automate complex journeys, like a customer’s e-commerce experience or a bank’s loan application, by connecting all the underlying digital and human steps into one cohesive flow, making processes transparent, efficient, and adaptable.
3. EvoluteIQ
EvoluteIQ process orchestration is the core of its AI-native automation platform, focusing on orchestrating entire business processes by unifying low-code development with AI, robotic process automation (RPA), data processing, and enterprise connectors.
It uses an ‘agentic mesh architecture (aMa)’ to create self-healing, intelligent processes that adapt in real-time, moving beyond traditional automation to create foundational, scalable digital solutions.

4. GBTEC
GBTEC process orchestration uses the BIC Platform to centrally design, automate, and manage end-to-end business workflows, integrating people, systems (like SAP), and technologies (RPA, AI) using low-code/no-code tools for efficiency, faster digital transformation, and better control over complex operations.
Instead of manual Excel tracking for employee onboarding (for example), GBTEC’s platform can automate the entire workflow, triggering access blocks, document generation, and hardware returns automatically, reducing a months-long process to hours.
5. Microsoft
Microsoft process orchestration, primarily through Power Automate, is the technology that connects, manages, and automates end-to-end business workflows, moving beyond single task automation to unified process management.
It centralizes control, integrates diverse tools, handles manual and digital tasks, and uses AI for smarter workflows, as seen in platforms like Dynamics 365 for order management or with Semantic Kernel for AI agents.
6. Pega
Pega’s process orchestration is its core capability to visually design, automate, and manage complex, end-to-end business workflows across disparate systems, humans, and AI, ensuring tasks are routed efficiently to the right resource at the right time for seamless customer journeys and operational goals, acting as the central "conductor" for integrated digital operations.
Think of it like a conductor (Pega orchestration) leading an orchestra (systems, people, bots) to play a symphony (a business process), ensuring every instrument plays the right part at the right time, unlike simple automation, which might just focus on one instrument (a single task).

7. SS&C Blue Prism
SS&C Blue Prism process orchestration, via its Chorus BPM platform, focuses on seamlessly managing complex, end-to-end business workflows by coordinating people, digital workers, applications, and data into a unified, intelligent flow.
It acts as a central hub, using rule-based logic and AI to route tasks, handle exceptions, and provide insights, ensuring work moves smoothly across the enterprise.
8. Tungsten Automation
Tungsten Automation process orchestration, through its TotalAgility platform, manages and coordinates complex end-to-end workflows, blending AI, low-code, intelligent document processing (IDP), and RPA to automate tasks across departments.
In essence, Tungsten Automation's orchestration manages the entire digital journey, making processes faster, more accurate, and compliant by coordinating intelligent tools and people.
