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.

User finds integration useful but seeks improvement in interface intuitiveness
I am satisfied with OpenText Documentum so far; it has great integration capabilities. The connection with our API and SAP is useful, as you can use their SAP interface. The key point that my company decided to go with OpenText Documentum is mostly because you can integrate it with many other tools such as Salesforce.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"If you need to integrate into anything, K2 is very useful."
"I like the feature of getting an email for a workflow error, then I do not have to go through every instance."
"Nintex Workflow is user-friendly and saves time"
"This tool is really helpful in reducing a lot of manual work, and its drag and drop components help to create a workflow faster than SharePoint Workflow Designer."
"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."
"This is a very good solution, and our client is very happy with it."
"The value of this solution is that it's easy to maintain, and to further develop."
"The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum."
"The product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues."
"It is quite good."
"OpenText Documentum is a robust choice for enterprise-level document management."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."
"The most impactful thing is the size, which is almost 25 TB."
"The most valuable feature is that the documents are kept secure."
"I appreciate Documentum's scalability, allowing for vast volumes of content storage."
 

Cons

"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 are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution."
"It didn't calculate the designs I needed."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"I think it was lacking a little bit in its multiple in-house processes and other processes. So there is a little bit of a gap in collaboration."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"The BPM side should be improved."
"The vertical application could be improved."
"The price of Documentum could be lower. It's quite high compared to its competitors."
"It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years."
"The biggest issue for us is the price of the product."
"Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase."
"In BPM could be better. Its GUI needs the ability to build more rules. This is a crucial feature. For example, OpenText has some products that allow you to control your checks, invoices, and so on. They have exciting approaches to converting pictures to text, but the tool for business process management isn't easy to use. The GIU is not so good."
"It can be somewhat cumbersome for the operations team since it’s not a cloud instance"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nintex products are expensive, but valuable. Licensing in on-premise was historically based on a perpetual model, where you’d license per Web front-end. However, they are switching exclusively to a consumption (subscription) model, where you purchase the number of workflows you think you’ll use in your environment, and can scale up from there."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"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."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"The price is considered affordable now."
"It is quite an expensive product."
"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."
"The product is expensive."
"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."
"It falls in line with a lot of things that are out there on the market. There is nothing extraordinary in terms of great or bad."
