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

"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"The technical support is very good."
"Nintex Workflow is user-friendly and saves time"
"From our perspective, you can save at least thirty percent in terms of time spent on manual processes, and documenting approvals and process flows."
"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."
"It is for process automation, and it saves a lot of time and resources."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"The support is great; I found the support to be excellent with immediate responses whenever I open a ticket."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
 

Cons

"It is very flexible because you can design your own main forms, but if there were some templates according to your market, it would be more useful for a new customer. That would make K2 more user friendly and easier to use."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"It's very tedious to manage."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"Because we're on-premise, it's more complicated to provide access to their own network."
"K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit."
"This solution only supports basic text, but we would like to be able to insert components such as rich text, graphs, charts, pictures, and other objects."
"Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"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."
"Nintex Workflow is more expensive than Microsoft's native products, but it is still considered moderately priced when compared to higher-end products such as K2."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"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."
"We have a yearly license."
