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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support provided by Nintex is very helpful."
"With an extensive list of integrations with LOB data, your workflows can extend far beyond SharePoint, driving adoption of SharePoint."
"Nintex Workflow is user-friendly and saves time"
"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually."
"This solution is very easy to use and customize, using almost zero coding, and because it's built on SharePoint which many companies in our country have experience with, it was easy to adapt the application in our environment."
"Out of box connectivity with UiPath."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"It is for process automation, and it saves a lot of time and resources."
"I like that all the features come as part of a standard license and that one license covers everything."
"The stability of the product is very good."
"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."
 

Cons

"It's very tedious to manage, so they should ensure that everything is integrated and taken care of."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"The tool can be limiting when more complex solutions are required. Improving it to offer greater functionality and less reliance on technical expertise could be beneficial."
"The Workflow Designer needs improvement."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"Because Microsoft announced that they will stop supporting Nintex Process Platform and Nintex Process Platform stopped supporting it as well, I will never recommend Nintex Process Platform Workflows or Forms in the near future, but Nintex K2 can be an option."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"There is room for improvement in the user experience in the forms."
"My main complaint is that the solution is not open source in the sense that you can't have your own in-house developments."
"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."
"There are a number of drawbacks. Mainly, the collaboration is lacking to some extent - at least when it comes to how we are using it."
"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"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."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"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."
"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."
