Ready to use, with no need for customization

We currently operate in a banking domain. It helps to take daily backups of database. The BMC TrueSight helps in following the Reserve Bank guidelines and scheduling the back up as necessary. The solution creates a back-up and re-evaluates all the necessary information, alarming us in case there is a set of missing information. In case the backup fails, it also has an error handling mechanism is present, sending real-time messages and alerts in the form of emails to responsible teams. We have minimized the L1 and L2 activities, currently allowing us to only deal with L3 activities. If there are any errors in terms of backup, the incident is directly raised to Level 3. This automation has helped us save about 5 million pounds. It is also capable of no-manual intervention, where onboarding can be done without any manual assistance. The GUI offered by this solution is currently not available in the market. Whenever the details of customers are entered in the GUI, the process is carried out smoothly in the background without any issues.

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

"The best feature of BMC TrueSight Orchestration is the number of integrated mechanisms it provides."

"This solution is scalable."

"The product has a very good triggering mechanism."

"I find the provisioning to be the most valuable."

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration has made things much easier for them."

"We particularly like the integration functionality of this solution. This product is open API, which means that it can be integrated with any solution from any other brand."

"The initial setup is easy. The deployment was done in an hour."

"We can implement compliance standards with the solution. You can also do patching so that the environment is compliant and secure from external threats and hacking. We can provision multiple systems with the help of predefined templates that the organization has forwarded us. The solution’s users can also integrate multiple products which can be either BMC or non-BMC. There are numerous possibilities that can be done with server automation"

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration pros

"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."

"It provides data accuracy with fewer failures."

"We contacted the technical support team a couple of times last year."

"The workflow engine of K2 is its main strength. Its workflow engine is probably one of the best, and that's the reason why Nintex bought K2. It can clearly handle any complex process or scenario. K2 is almost low-code. It is a no-code or low-code solution. You don't have to read a whole lot of code. It is pretty much GUI based. Their support is also excellent. The biggest advantage of K2 is SmartObjects, which allow you to separate the data from the application. It is a standalone application that allows you to build a data source from different places, which a lot of other applications also do. It is called SmartObjects technology, which is pretty powerful. If I have data from different applications, such as JD and ServiceNow, I can just create a SmartObject based on a data source and use it. I have some forms that have six, seven, or eight applications in a single form with data from different places."

"Nintex Workflow is user-friendly and saves time"

"This tool is really helpful in reducing a lot of manual work, and its drag and drop components help to create a workflow faster than SharePoint Workflow Designer."

"I find it useful to utilize LDAP query action to find out the status of a particular user."

"Scalability, good performance, and the K2 designer to create workflows/screens are the most valuable features."

Cons

"We are aiming for AI automation and look for support from BMC. The features are currently missing but we are hoping for some upgrade in this matter."

"The solution is not user-friendly."

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration could improve by providing some visibility on how the workflows are progressing."

"The architecture of this solution needs improvement, it is very complicated. It creates a lot of problems in our environment. Most of the time I am trying to find and solve the problem."

"At present this solution is only available to be hosted on-premises, which can cause network issues when integration with cloud-based software is attempted."

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration is difficult to understand. It's not very user-friendly."

"The solution should move to the cloud. Every application from the BMC is on the container and moving to the cloud. There is also a number of limitations for the smart reporting feature of the TrueSight server which is not working in sync. We did not get any satisfactory reply from BMC on that note. We are not able to do the real-time sync between HSA and non-HSA service reporting tools and the actual application tools."

"Regarding scalability, the architecture does not allow you to add additional servers just able to use two application servers, so it's not scalable."

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration cons

"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."

"Nintex seems to be very server intensive. It is one of the reasons that we are moving to a different product on the SharePoint 2016 platform."

"I think it was lacking a little bit in its multiple in-house processes and other processes. So there is a little bit of a gap in collaboration."

"I have used Pega and I feel that it offers more than the K2 solution, in terms of the latest technology."

"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."

"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently."

"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."

"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."

More Nintex Process Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is per lot, or per agent — one agent is one license."

"There is a huge cost saving with BMC TrueSight compared to other solutions."

"Licensing is available in different ways and depends on data being consumed by users and nodes being operated."

"Regarding pricing, it comes with the package when you buy the server automation. But it's made depending on some agreements for companies, of which I don't know the clause."

"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."

"The price of this solution is affordable but the problem in Algeria is our community is a bit slower. The new clients might feel the solution is a bit expensive."

"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."

"Comparatively, it's expensive."

"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."

"Our maintenance costs are reduced."

"This solution is affordable and is cheaper than most alternatives on the market. We have a standard cloud license that costs about 20k per year."

"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
