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.

Cons

"We would like to have access to an on-premises solution. In our country, we have a relationship with Central Bank of Egypt, which do noes not allow cloud solutions to be used. They should offer an on-prem solution with a flexible price license."
"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently."
"Technical support is not so good, i.e., you should have a good contact inside the company, because the service desk is not that efficient."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"Nintex technical support is not great."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"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 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."
"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."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"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."
"The price of SoftExpert BPM is not expensive."
