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

"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually."
"I think the initial setup is fine."
"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."
"Allows to use workflow for simple approvals and LazyApproval. The feature is easy to implement for mobile approval."
"The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good."
"It has a lot of features for creating and managing workflows, as well as for integrating with other applications. Nintex offers features, particularly to ensure a user-friendly experience."
"Our solutions using Nintex has been most successful in automating HR processes because it allows you to easily and rapidly build solutions that conform to the unique business processes for each entity."
"The product's primary advantage is its low-code nature which allows for rapid development without extensive coding."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"​Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting.​"
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"At times, issues arise in certain scenarios. In such cases, the versioning can become quite difficult. There may be no other way but to restart the entire process or rectify it at that point."
"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."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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