Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"The number of historical events is great."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"Out of box connectivity with UiPath."
"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform."
"The technical support is very good."
"Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."
"I like the feature of getting an email for a workflow error, then I do not have to go through every instance."
"The Vizio-style designer that runs in the browser is, to me, by far the most valuable feature of the solution. It means that the customer doesn’t have to install any client tools to create powerful workflows."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"Difficult to include external partners with the solution deployed on-premise."
"Currently, a notable challenge lies in the alignment of user experiences across the eight or nine applications within the suite. Transitioning between applications can be somewhat cumbersome due to varying user interfaces. However, the provider is actively addressing this concern by consistently rolling out updates every four to five months, aimed at harmonizing and streamlining the interfaces. This ongoing effort is expected to enhance the user experience over time. In terms of functionality and features, the platform stands out, offering flexibility with the option for both on-premises and cloud deployment. This flexibility extends to the RPA tool, providing clients with choices tailored to their preferences. An advantage lies in the shared security and data infrastructure across the toolset, facilitating smooth data transfer between applications. This contrasts with experiences with Oracle, where data transfer may involve complexities such as the need for intermediary file formats like TXL or SCZ."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
