Straightforward interface and user-friendly
There are a lot of apps in K2, but what I really found that needs improvement is the management section of K2, especially the management server and the admin page where you can manage processes, add users, set security fees, and add licenses. The reason for this is because the part that is the section of administration, particularly the management called rows, has multiple rules, as many as you want. For instance, you may have around 200 rules, and when you view them, only the first ten are displayed, and you have to click next to see the next ten and so on until you get to the hundredth rule. On that page, as of today, we only have what we call to fetch, where you can search for a particular rule you're looking for, or else you have to keep clicking until you get to the final page you want. So that's a bit challenging.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"Out of box connectivity with UiPath."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email.​"
"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"It is a scalable product."
"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."
"A complete project management suite in one integrated package."
"The most valuable feature of SoftExpert BPM is its ease of use."
 

Cons

"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."
"Nintex is still at the starting point of integrating with AI. It has integrated with a very small piece of artificial intelligence., like only integrated with the Google Cloud. There is a benefit, like a no-code and low-code solution. But, again, if you are a developer, especially if you are a hardcore developer, you are using your code knowledge, its skills, and all. And, suddenly, you are moving into the low-code solution, and then you will feel, like, so many things you can't achieve with the low-code solution."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"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 interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"The form in SoftExpert BPM should improve."
"It could do more to use all the data it collects to intelligently manage the user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"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."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"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 enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"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."
"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."
"The price of SoftExpert BPM is not expensive."
