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 supports SharePoint in the platform, and it's easy to customize to the maximum extent."
"If you need to integrate into anything, K2 is very useful."
"As a Solutions Architect my role is to help my clients implement tools and technology that can build and automate their businesses."
"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."
"It is for process automation, and it saves a lot of time and resources."
"The capacity to integrate with external platforms. It's great to be able to call web services or other external services."
"This is a very good solution, and our client is very happy with it."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"A complete project management suite in one integrated package."
"The most valuable feature of SoftExpert BPM is its ease of use."
"We promote the use of this product because it's integrated and has a very nicely designed program, simplifying our workflow and the workflow of our clients, which saves time and money for everyone while making us more productive."
 

Cons

"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"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."
"The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement."
"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 license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"Currently, a notable challenge lies in the alignment of user experiences across the eight or nine applications within the suite. Transitioning between applications can be somewhat cumbersome due to varying user interfaces. However, the provider is actively addressing this concern by consistently rolling out updates every four to five months, aimed at harmonizing and streamlining the interfaces. This ongoing effort is expected to enhance the user experience over time. In terms of functionality and features, the platform stands out, offering flexibility with the option for both on-premises and cloud deployment. This flexibility extends to the RPA tool, providing clients with choices tailored to their preferences. An advantage lies in the shared security and data infrastructure across the toolset, facilitating smooth data transfer between applications. This contrasts with experiences with Oracle, where data transfer may involve complexities such as the need for intermediary file formats like TXL or SCZ."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"The form in SoftExpert BPM should improve."
"It could do more to use all the data it collects to intelligently manage the user experience."
"I would like for them to incorporate artificial intelligence and be more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"The annual support costs are expensive."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"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."
"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."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"The price of SoftExpert BPM is not expensive."
