Featured Reviews

Ahmed-Ragab - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior DevOps & Release Management Engineer at EBC
Facilitates task management with effective approval processes and modern integration capabilities
It facilitates processes by sending notifications to relevant individuals who need to take action regarding requests. There is a very good approval hierarchy in place. Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests. It is also easy to integrate with many other tools, like Nintex and Azure DevOps, using APIs.
Hafiz Muhammad Usama - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager Mobility & Digitalization at Fatima group
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.

Pros

"There is a very good approval hierarchy in place."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Automation is the opportunity to use more or less any kind of scripting software."
"Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests."
"It's easy for the IT admins at the company to use. It isn't hard to understand and there are lots of features you can use out of the box. If a feature isn't available in Ivanti Automation, you can always script it."
"It's easy for the IT admins at the company to use, it isn't hard to understand, and there are lots of features you can use out of the box."
"As a Solutions Architect my role is to help my clients implement tools and technology that can build and automate their businesses."
"This tool set makes it easy to integrate current processes and increase adoption rates and usage for the tool, as well as the process changes to update it on the fly."
"The technical support is very good."
"NWC forms could be better. Also, the ability to build workflows that are not dependent on SharePoint is very desirable. The forms feature just isn’t as functional as the forms for SharePoint."
"It saves time as tasks are automated."
"Able to automate business processes and help reduce a significant amount of development efforts."
"The solution has helped us to automate our business processes, our approval systems, and automation for quickly developing on SharePoint on-prem and SharePoint online."
"It is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"Their cloud relay feature needs to improve to compete with other products in cloud solutions like Azure and AWS."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
"Their cloud relay feature needs to improve to compete with other products in cloud solutions like Azure and AWS. It should be easier to deploy or provision images in the cloud with Ivanti Automation. Better Azure integration would also help."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
"Ivanti Automation should deliver more fixed templates for standard use cases or standard procedures."
"Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"We had issues with long-running workflows for approval processes."
"Technical support is not so good, i.e., you should have a good contact inside the company, because the service desk is not that efficient."
"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."
"Performance. Some customers ask why K2 is slow?"
"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."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"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."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"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."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"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."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
