Platform for documenting and modifying our processes
The tool was used for digital transformation. Our company operates in the automotive industry and needs a transition to digitalization. We utilize the BIC Platform for documenting and modifying our processes, as well as incorporating various elements such as KPIs. It serves as a fundamental tool for numerous aspects of our operations.

Have experienced challenges integrating with other systems but have benefited from improved process automation
There are multiple areas that need improvement. Nintex Process Platform needs integration with other platforms such as Salesforce and other CRM platforms. There should be actions available so we can directly integrate with these systems. Additionally, there is a gap in mathematical actions and logical actions. We need to parse data, and if we receive data in JSON, there is no action available in Nintex Process Platform to parse the data and extract data from that JSON string. Such actions and logical actions must be available in Nintex Process Platform to increase its capability. For us, Nintex Process Platform is configurable with SQL Server, but there is no configuration option available with Oracle. We also use Oracle in multiple processes, but we have found no way to directly configure Nintex Process Platform with Oracle. We have to use SQL Server in between. We have to create a link server within SQL Server as a bypass to retrieve or post data into Oracle. There were multiple improvement points available.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business."
"The product is easy to use."
"I'm in awe of what the software can do."
"The central dictionary is a valuable feature."
"This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer."
"Company wide BPMS tool sustaining a long term quality management best practices to achieve the expected process maturity level but also cutting operation and maintenance costs related to the former tool in use"
"Scalability, good performance, and the K2 designer to create workflows/screens are the most valuable features."
"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform."
"This solution is very easy to use and customize, using almost zero coding, and because it's built on SharePoint which many companies in our country have experience with, it was easy to adapt the application in our environment."
"It leverages the out-of-the-box SharePoint back-end. This means that you don’t need to install or deploy additional infrastructure to support Nintex Workflow, unlike some of its competitors."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"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 capacity to integrate with external platforms. It's great to be able to call web services or other external services."
"If you need to integrate into anything, K2 is very useful."
 

Cons

"One thing they could improve is the manual."
"There are just some things in the new product that are not really functional issues but improvements that BIC will have to make."
"As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling."
"The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems."
"There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."
"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator."
"It's very tedious to manage, so they should ensure that everything is integrated and taken care of."
"I have used Pega and I feel that it offers more than the K2 solution, in terms of the latest technology."
"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 solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"We had issues with long-running workflows for approval processes."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"The solution is heavy and cumbersome and it has a very stringent way of doing things."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Scalability-wise, it is an expensive product."
"Pricing will differ between enterprises based on needs such as customization, but the company uses a standardized algorithm for determining this."
"Nintex Workflow is more expensive than Microsoft's native products, but it is still considered moderately priced when compared to higher-end products such as K2."
"Certainly. Notably, in terms of cost, this solution presents a substantial advantage, being approximately forty percent more economical compared to Oracle. It offers flexibility with two deployment options, catering to both cloud and on-premises preferences. Moreover, within each deployment option, there are two variations available. For organizations with limited IT resources and relying on citizen developers—individuals from the business side comfortable with technology—the platform allows for a more hands-on approach. These users can independently implement solutions without extensive coding or custom development. In contrast, the KQ solution at Symantec is adept at addressing the needs of sectors like banking, where extensive custom development is required for seamless integration with existing applications, websites, and ensuring robust security measures."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"Nintex products are expensive, but valuable. Licensing in on-premise was historically based on a perpetual model, where you’d license per Web front-end. However, they are switching exclusively to a consumption (subscription) model, where you purchase the number of workflows you think you’ll use in your environment, and can scale up from there."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
