We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and Nintex Process Platform 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."Every feature in Apache Airflow is valuable. The number of operators and features I've used are mainly related to connectivity services and integrated services because I primarily work with GCP."
"The product is stable."
"The user interface for monitoring and managing workflows has been excellent, particularly in the latest version. c"
"Designing processes and workflows is easier, and it assists in coordinating all of the different processes."
"It's stable."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"Apache Airflow is useful for workflow automation, making it capable of automating pipelines, data pipelines, and data warehouse processes."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"The strength of this solution lies in its connectors and the accessibility of an open API. The presence of an open API allows users to create custom connectors if necessary, provided there is access to the source API documentation. Additionally, the platform features a straightforward yet highly effective forms tool. This tool not only seamlessly integrates with the workflow functionality but also facilitates the transmission of information to the document generation tool. This comprehensive integration is particularly noteworthy when compared to alternatives such as Oracle, which tends to rely on more complex and separate logic for similar functionalities. A key strength of Nintex lies in its user-centric approach to help documentation. The materials are designed to be easily understood, avoiding complex terminology. In cases where technical terms are used, they are linked to articles for further clarification. This contrasts with platforms like Microsoft and Oracle, which may employ technical jargon without clear explanations. Nintex further supports its users through a robust online community, fostering collaboration and shared insights. Additionally, Nintex University offers online training across all applications, following a role-based structure. Unlike some other platforms, Nintex's training is thoughtfully broken down into shorter courses, focused on specific roles. This approach ensures that users can efficiently access the information they need without navigating through extensive and potentially irrelevant content, as may be the case with Oracle's training structure."
"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform."
"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."
"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."
"It is very easy to use."
"I really like the visual representation. It actually looks like a flow chart, which is nicer than a SharePoint Designer workflow, which doesn't have that ability."
"The scalability of the solution itself is not as we expected. Being on the cloud, it should be easy to scale, however, it's not."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"The dashboard is connected into the BPM flow that could be improved."
"The documentation must be improved."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"I have some issues with the solution's communication."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the integration process."
"The platform's stability needs improvement, particularly regarding occasional interruptions due to networking issues."
"I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics."
"The Workflow Designer needs improvement."
"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"Difficult to include external partners with the solution deployed on-premise."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
