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

"Of the three BPM vendors I evaluated, Bonita was the best in creating forms, ease of customization of forms, and versatility of supported platforms, and it is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"Development of forms and flows."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"It is a scalable product."
"It is for process automation, and it saves a lot of time and resources."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."
"It provides data accuracy with fewer failures."
"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually."
"Able to automate business processes and help reduce a significant amount of development efforts."
"It supports SharePoint in the platform, and it's easy to customize to the maximum extent."
 

Cons

"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper."
"The solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"Nintex is around INR 200 per license in India, which is much cheaper. Smaller organizations are always looking for cost-effective solutions, and Nintex provides local solutions with very low pricing."
