We performed a comparison between IBM Business Automation Workflow 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.
"This is a low-code software where you can just drag and drop on the user interface. There are also a lot of quality integrations such as TMS."
"It is the only product that includes capture content management and a process suite, as well as rules in RPA."
"The business process modeling is the most valuable feature."
"IBM has spent a lot of time on the connections between the rules engine and its other product, the core BPM platform. They've really centralized the suite as one offering now."
"It helps develop applications very quickly. Once clients get used to it and familiar with the methodology, then they don't feel so locked in. It is able to add this element of agility to our clients' software development lifecycle. That is my favorite thing about it: You're not so locked in as you used to be when developing applications."
"The workflow of BAW's automation is handled inside of BPM, so we can see what state it is at and how things are processing through."
"It has integrated UI and deployment models, and it has a deep set of consultant and service provider ecosystem features."
"Its interface is well-designed and user-friendly"
"It is very easy to use."
"It can scale well."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email."
"It provides data accuracy with fewer failures."
"I like the feature of getting an email for a workflow error, then I do not have to go through every instance."
"It is a scalable product."
"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."
"The integration capabilities have been very useful."
"The initial setup is actually a really complicated process."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow can improve UI flexibility and integration. Additionally, the solutions from IBM have to provide a paperless solution, allowing for digital versions of documents."
"Requires a lot of customization code writing which could be reduced."
"I would definitely like to see a unified interface between the BPM side of the house and the case side of the house. Something that just seems a bit more cohesive, because right now there is sort of a disconnect between the BPM and the case side of the house. That makes it a bit of a hard sell sometimes. That is definitely first and foremost on my wish list."
"In terms of improvement, it could be less complex."
"The SCADA Systems are very sophisticated and have a hard time integrating with our older scales. The technical support in regards to the partner side needs some improvement."
"I would like to see more streamlined install and provisioning; preferably containerized IBM BPM would be helpful."
"I feel that the features are not user-friendly."
"The solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"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."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"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 interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"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."
"The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement."
"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper."
