Offers capacity to integrate with external platforms but technically difficult
There is room for improvement in the user experience in the forms. When we need to develop the forms, we don't have much customization, and I think we need more flexibility there. It's technically difficult, but it would be great to be able to develop our own code and integrate it into the platform. We could then run our own code for specific actions and requests or even develop a page or form. So, if I can ask Nintex for something, it would be a way to integrate our own code for specific actions. When it comes to integration, it could have more options for custom requests.

Helps to transform an organization from a paper-based system to a paperless one using a workflow engine
The tool's most valuable feature is knowing the KPIs and SLAs. This means you can see who's responsible for approving or rejecting requests. You'll know which employees are slow to take action, so you can see who's being lazy. You get a report at the month's or year's end to see how active employees are and if they support the system. This helps make things faster and easier for everyone. Tracking activity is the main point, so you can see how employees use the system. We rely on it as the backbone of our processes. It allows us to create self-service requirements, processes, and applications. Integrating the tool with other applications was very easy. They provide REST services, making integration straightforward. Additionally, they offer documentation in the cloud, which makes the integration process even easier. It regularly updates and enhances its services every quarter, which has benefitted us greatly. It's easy for a beginner to work with the solution for the first time. Oracle provides materials and live labs that make learning and getting started with the platform easy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"K2 is reasonably priced."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"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."
"Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."
"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."
"I like the feature of getting an email for a workflow error, then I do not have to go through every instance."
"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 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 tool's most valuable feature is knowing the KPIs and SLAs. This means you can see who's responsible for approving or rejecting requests. You'll know which employees are slow to take action, so you can see who's being lazy. You get a report at the month's or year's end to see how active employees are and if they support the system. This helps make things faster and easier for everyone. Tracking activity is the main point, so you can see how employees use the system."
 

Cons

"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 license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"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."
"The tool was perfect on-prem, but issues cropped up when it transitioned to the cloud. Some features, such as event listeners, have been suspended or deprecated, causing inconvenience for users who relied on them for sending tasks via WhatsApp or SMS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"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."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"The initial investment in K2 is heavy. Currently, the expenditure is $28,000 for a year. After we go to the cloud, it is going to be per seat and probably cheaper. Currently, there are unlimited users."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"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."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"You select your message pack from multiple options, and your payment is based on your actual usage. This means you don't have to buy a bundle upfront; instead, you pay according to your consumption, including the number of messages sent"
