Vitor Medeiros - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Future-proof and powerful with great support
Improvements include: 1) Cost of the Software. Redwood is more expensive than most of the other Automation Software available today; they could make it budget-friendly. 2) It has limited reporting features. Some basic reporting features are missing. 3) There is no option to extract data in Excel. This feature could help in finding errors in the data. 4) Integration with ServiceNow is not supported. 5) The cloud platform compatibility is not up to the mark. 6) Security standards need to be improved. 7) Handling failure is not great; the workflow stops when a job fails and human intervention is required. 8) Configuration and set-up are difficult for someone with less coding knowledge. 9) They need to provide more documentation to assist new users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's primary advantage is its low-code nature which allows for rapid development without extensive coding."
"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."
"It provides data accuracy with fewer failures."
"It leverages the out-of-the-box SharePoint back-end. This means that you don’t need to install or deploy additional infrastructure to support Nintex Workflow, unlike some of its competitors."
"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."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email.​"
"The setup is easy."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"There won't be a memory outage issue, as it uses its own server/ECC memory only."
"Redwood is of value to our organization due to of its ease of use and the ability to automate and orchestrate any platform that we utilize today."
"There are various ways in which you can construct jobs depending on your business needs and requirements."
"This program works with every browser."
"Error handling and the recovery feature ensure that my job processes are not stopped if any error occurs."
"By automating the job processes it has saved us a lot of time and resources."
"REL expressions are quite helpful for setting up the preconditions."
"Our team was able to integrate it with the ITSM tool as well as security monitoring tools to make the incident creation process automatically feasible."
 

Cons

"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"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."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit. It is just a heavy workflow solution. It doesn't have a supplemental product like RPA. If you want to use RPA, you have to use Blue Prism, UIPath, or something else. If you use Nintex, it has an RPA solution. It is a form-based application, and they are doing everything electronically. The initial investment in K2 is heavy because it is a BPM software. It does not have a low cost because they charge you the same for one workflow or 100 workflows."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"It lacks some of the common reporting features. I'm a bit surprised that there aren't some standard reports to be able to extract any data on usage. They've described to us that customers have different reporting needs, so they let them develop those, but reporting is a common need. It would be helpful to have it as part of the solution."
"It has limited reporting features; some basic reporting features are missing."
"It would be nice if Redwood RunMyJobs could work on different systems."
"The job log has a size limit."
"We need the ability to pull data into an Excel format."
"The addition of machine learning capabilities could help Redwood Workload Automation Software better predict job and workflow performance, detect anomalies, and optimize operations based on historical data."
"The documentation for this product is limited, which can be improved in the future."
"Having a graphical user interface for the dashboard would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nintex is around INR 200 per license in India, which is much cheaper. Smaller organizations are always looking for cost-effective solutions, and Nintex provides local solutions with very low pricing."
"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."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"It initially surprised me because we went from an application that was priced by connection to agents/the number of agents to an application that was priced based on the number of job executions. At that time, many of the products we looked at were also priced on job execution. That seems to be more common in the business or in the vendors that provide solutions out there, but that was probably our biggest difference."
