Featured Reviews

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.
SA
An easy-to-use solution with great integration
It involves a lot of investment. The learning curve is not similar to other products, like K2. Regarding the user interface, I have to access workflows and define and manage the processes on the variant of a Windows application, which is not accessible if you don't have access from the client to install it on the workstation. And most of the solutions we're currently evaluating are web-based. Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing. It has lots of elements. It's not user-intuitive compared to other products. Other than that, the licensing model is our main concern.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email.​"
"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."
"We were able to meet all of the requirements for functionality that were specified, and we did not experience challenges where we had to compromise on functionality."
"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."
"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually."
"The Vizio-style designer that runs in the browser is, to me, by far the most valuable feature of the solution. It means that the customer doesn’t have to install any client tools to create powerful workflows."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"It's very simple to use and the integration features between Java and other services within the workflow are very easy."
 

Cons

"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"Nintex seems to be very server intensive. It is one of the reasons that we are moving to a different product on the SharePoint 2016 platform."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"The tool can be limiting when more complex solutions are required. Improving it to offer greater functionality and less reliance on technical expertise could be beneficial."
"We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution."
"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."
"Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"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."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"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."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"The price could definitely be lower."
