"This solution is very easy to use and customize, using almost zero coding. It's built on SharePoint which many companies in our country have experience with. This made it easy to adapt the application in our environment."
"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."
"Integrating the solution with existing systems can be complicated and it needs careful planning and execution."
"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."
"Sometimes, we feel like we are not getting the full features of the content management capabilities."
"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."
"The UI of the solution is not good. They should work to update the solution and make it better and fresher."
"The initial setup is actually a really complicated process."
"We would like to have access to an on-premises solution. In our country, we have a relationship with Central Bank of Egypt, which do noes not allow cloud solutions to be used. They should offer an on-prem solution with a flexible price license."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"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."
"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
