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

"We are using Nintex Workflow for internal reviews between banking groups, and automating the workflow."
"Provides the ability to automate SharePoint processes (building sites, lists, updating content). You can also automate document and content processes, onboarding and offboarding, and general IT and HR solutions."
"NWC forms could be better. Also, the ability to build workflows that are not dependent on SharePoint is very desirable. The forms feature just isn’t as functional as the forms for SharePoint."
"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."
"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."
"From our perspective, you can save at least thirty percent in terms of time spent on manual processes, and documenting approvals and process flows."
"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform."
"It supports SharePoint in the platform, and it's easy to customize to the maximum extent."
"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."
"A complete project management suite in one integrated package."
 

Cons

"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 licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"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 had issues with long-running workflows for approval processes."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"The user interface in Nintex needs improvement. It is not very intuitive and requires changes."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."
"The form in SoftExpert BPM should improve."
"I would like for them to incorporate artificial intelligence and be more intuitive."
"It could do more to use all the data it collects to intelligently manage the user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"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."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"Certainly. Notably, in terms of cost, this solution presents a substantial advantage, being approximately forty percent more economical compared to Oracle. It offers flexibility with two deployment options, catering to both cloud and on-premises preferences. Moreover, within each deployment option, there are two variations available. For organizations with limited IT resources and relying on citizen developers—individuals from the business side comfortable with technology—the platform allows for a more hands-on approach. These users can independently implement solutions without extensive coding or custom development. In contrast, the KQ solution at Symantec is adept at addressing the needs of sectors like banking, where extensive custom development is required for seamless integration with existing applications, websites, and ensuring robust security measures."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"The annual support costs are expensive."
"The price of SoftExpert BPM is not expensive."
