We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and Newgen OmniFlow based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Since Apache works very well on Python, we can manage everything and create pipelines there."
"This is a simple tool to automate using Python."
"The solution is flexible for all programming languages for all frameworks."
"Its user-friendly interface makes it straightforward to operate, offering a plethora of features for data preparation, buffering, and format conversion."
"The reason we went with Airflow is its DAG presentation, that shows the relationships among everything. It's more of a configuration-driven workflow."
"Since the solution is programmatic, it allows users to define pipelines in code rather than drag and drop."
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward and it does not take long to complete."
"The UI is easy. It's not very code based, so you can make certain changes on your end."
"The most valuable features of Newgen OmniFlow are the user interface, the low-code no-code designer tools, and the integration models are important."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Omnicon. That made sense for us because our company is now able to capture information from documents."
"They are a good team that is proactive, and they are trying to accommodate all of our requirements."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."
"Newgen will structure the system based on all the requirements of the business. We can design the forms as complex forms or make our own versions to fix what's wrong."
"It is working fine so far. I haven't heard anything bad about it from the applications team that is using it, so I assume that it is doing okay."
"The automation capabilities could be improved; a visual workflow designer and a graphical tool to reduce coding would be very helpful. But for now, it's sufficient for our simple workflows."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"The problem with Apache Airflow is that it is an open-source tool. You have to build it into a Kubernetes container, which is not easy to maintain, and I find it to be very clunky."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"UI can be improved with additional user-friendly features for non-programmers and for fewer coding practitioner requirements."
"Adding more automated components in Apache Airflow for basic things like exporting the data would be helpful."
"The documentation must be improved."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"I would like to see more automated analytics built into the solution."
"Newgen OmniFlow could improve by having more out-of-the-box integration modules. It would be beneficial to have an analytics model that is not currently present."
"At the system level, I would like to see things be much more flexible, especially for different document templates and introducing changes."
"There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it. Sometimes, the leadership wants to understand the business cases that we want to automate. We face a lot of challenges to justify why we are using Newgen, and we need a way to present that to the leadership. If there is something out of the box and if we can get meaningful dashboards and reporting capabilities, it would be helpful."
"In terms of stability, like every product it has its issues."
"The development teams should be more agile and they need to have more team members."
"We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome."
