We performed a comparison between IBM BPM 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 user interface and good add option."
"Some of the features that I like the most are team management and process performance. They are both very useful and very powerful with regard to the workflow."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten...The product's installation was easy."
"The process creation."
"The most valuable feature of IBM BPM is the low code design, and ease of maintenance. Additionally, the integration is good and easy to do."
"There is a component of this BPM pool - I can't recall the name. What it does is, it allows you to create various scenarios and then run them quickly, before actually putting them onto a tool. So I think that part of the tool is really fantastic, because that enables you to create scenarios, create simulations, before actually going out and putting it into the tool itself"
"It is easy to take a requirement, put it in the code, and deploy it."
"I like the APIs and the BPM coach is a good tool. But if I had to pick one, it would be the API."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"I really like the visual representation. It actually looks like a flow chart, which is nicer than a SharePoint Designer workflow, which doesn't have that ability."
"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."
"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."
"Allows to use workflow for simple approvals and LazyApproval. The feature is easy to implement for mobile approval."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities. We've never had issues integrating it without solutions."
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"It's easy to learn. However, there is very little content available for the Nintex also, but they are providing their own documentation and all. So, it's easy to learn also."
"They don't have a mechanism to achieve processes, data sources, and data."
"If you want to use IBM BPM, you will have to invest a lot of money for licenses and you need to learn that there are limitations in developing applications. You cannot create anything you want."
"I believe that if the license were cheaper, it would have a greater impact."
"The setup was quite complex because the solution was cutting-edge at that time and IBM invested considerably in the implementation, likely at a loss to themselves."
"I have an interest around the robotic piece, and integrating that with the processes. I think that is certainly a good direction to be going."
"We need process monitoring. It is somewhat complex to monitor all the processes which work."
"We had a weird problem that whenever the database would go down, even for a few seconds, it broke the connection. It would not come back up as it was supposed to. However, working with IBM, we were able to figure out a fix, then it came back up, even after an interruption of the database."
"It can definitely be improved in terms of performance and stability."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need 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."
"At times, issues arise in certain scenarios. In such cases, the versioning can become quite difficult. There may be no other way but to restart the entire process or rectify it at that point."
"While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics."
