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.

The best features Tray.io offers include excellent visualization capabilities and a dashboard, which stand out to me the most. I appreciate that it is very easy to convert the data we receive from Tray.io into dashboards from Power BI, which is extremely useful. I would also appreciate if in the future Tray.io provides a way to natively convert the data to Tableau. Tray.io has positively impacted my organization as it provides a trusted way to organize data results and share them throughout the company at once. As a multinational and very large company, it is definitely beneficial that those of us in the UK can use the same format that colleagues use in India, and the entire data architecture is framed within a trusted system from an established organization. As far as I know, Tray.io has been operating for the last 12 years, making it a very reliable system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration capabilities have been very useful."

"The capacity to integrate with external platforms. It's great to be able to call web services or other external services."

"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."

"K2 makes your work simple."

"With an extensive list of integrations with LOB data, your workflows can extend far beyond SharePoint, driving adoption of SharePoint."

"If you need to integrate into anything, K2 is very useful."

"Able to automate business processes and help reduce a significant amount of development efforts."

"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."

More Nintex Process Platform pros

"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by reducing the amount of redundant tasks that our team performs by approximately 80%, and the numbers are quite significant with the workflows alone, as we are working towards creating and utilizing AI within these workflows as well."

"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by helping us keep our internal database and this third-party service in sync, and it has really helped us automate a lot of that work because it is fairly straightforward to maintain and develop."

"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization as it provides a trusted way to organize data results and share them throughout the company at once."

Cons

"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."

"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."

"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."

"K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit."

"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."

"Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting."

"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper."

"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."

More Nintex Process Platform cons

"I have found that the error management in my main use case with Tray.io is not as effective as we would prefer."

"One way Tray.io could be improved, especially for people coming in with no real coding experience, is with more comprehensive error messages."

"As our product got more complex, we needed to add more and more complexity to Tray.io in terms of our setup, and that is when the benefits of it being no-code or low-code started to pale in comparison to the cost of making everything slightly more complicated."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
