We performed a comparison between Appian 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.
"Good workflow engines that bridge the gaps of processes."
"Rapid development with low-code makes it easier to quickly get apps implemented and the time to break-even and ROI is much faster."
"We appreciate the drag and drop functionality and the easy to access plug and play features."
"The most valuable features of Appian are the VPN engine, it is fast, lightweight, and easy to set up business rules. Business teams can do it by themselves. That is a very good feature."
"The tool is very flexible."
"Appian's most valuable feature is that we can create end-to-end process workflows with minimum turnaround."
"The most valuable features are the low coding and low code data."
"Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"Provides the ability to automate SharePoint processes (building sites, lists, updating content). You can also automate document and content processes, onboarding and offboarding, and general IT and HR solutions."
"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 creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."
"The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good."
"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform."
"I think the initial setup is fine."
"This tool is really helpful in reducing a lot of manual work. Its drag and drop components help to create a workflow faster than SharePoint Workflow Designer."
"What could be improved is more on the front end perspective, like the user interface and the mobile application aspect."
"Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian."
"Appian could be improved by making it a strict, no-code platform with free-built process packs."
"It would be useful if they could create an academy or forum in the future to help active users answer questions they have about the solution."
"One of the areas that Appian is working on is to improve its UI capabilities and give more flexibility to the UI."
"They should provide more flexibility so designers can create a more picture perfect device."
"I wouldn't say their response time is long, but it could be quicker."
"A point of improvement would be the SAIL forms. The built-in tool used to generate forms does not have debugging support (to view local variables as they change on live preview, and step-by-step valuation) which is a big drawback for form development. Moreover, the script language used to build SAIL forms does not support inheritance or lambda expressions (functions as arguments of other functions), which makes the code base more verbose."
"While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"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."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement"
"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."
