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."The product is stable."
"Apache Airflow's best feature is its flexibility."
"This is a simple tool to automate using Python."
"The initial setup was straightforward and it does not take long to complete."
"The best part of Airflow is its direct support for Python, especially because Python is so important for data science, engineering, and design. This makes the programmatic aspect of our work easy for us, and it means we can automate a lot."
"We have been quite satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"We're running it on a virtual server, which we can easily upgrade if needed."
"The reason we went with Airflow is its DAG presentation, that shows the relationships among everything. It's more of a configuration-driven workflow."
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper."
"We were able to meet all of the requirements for functionality that were specified, and we did not experience challenges where we had to compromise on functionality."
"The solution has helped us to automate our business processes, our approval systems, and automation for quickly developing on SharePoint on-prem and SharePoint online."
"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding."
"Allows to use workflow for simple approvals and LazyApproval. The feature is easy to implement for mobile approval."
"The graphical user interface can be improved."
"Adding more automated components in Apache Airflow for basic things like exporting the data would be helpful."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the integration process."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement."
"I would like to see some no-code capabilities and drag and drop abilities in Airflow."
"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."
"K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit. It is just a heavy workflow solution. It doesn't have a supplemental product like RPA. If you want to use RPA, you have to use Blue Prism, UIPath, or something else. If you use Nintex, it has an RPA solution. It is a form-based application, and they are doing everything electronically. The initial investment in K2 is heavy because it is a BPM software. It does not have a low cost because they charge you the same for one workflow or 100 workflows."
"It is very flexible because you can design your own main forms, but if there were some templates according to your market, it would be more useful for a new customer. That would make K2 more user friendly and easier to use."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"Nintex is still at the starting point of integrating with AI. It has integrated with a very small piece of artificial intelligence., like only integrated with the Google Cloud. There is a benefit, like a no-code and low-code solution. But, again, if you are a developer, especially if you are a hardcore developer, you are using your code knowledge, its skills, and all. And, suddenly, you are moving into the low-code solution, and then you will feel, like, so many things you can't achieve with the low-code solution."
