Satya Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good integration capabilities and easy to learn and good stability
Nintex is still at the starting point of integrating with AI. It has integrated with a very small piece of artificial intelligence., like only integrated with the Google Cloud. There is a benefit, like a no-code and low-code solution. But, again, if you are a developer, especially if you are a hardcore developer, you are using your code knowledge, its skills, and all. And, suddenly, you are moving into the low-code solution, and then you will feel, like, so many things you can't achieve with the low-code solution. And in that case, you are looking for some custom development. And it's a little bit difficult in the Nintex area. Because they are totally dependent on the low-code solution, and you are looking at where you can implement your custom things. However, you can do that thing, but that will be a difficult task. Also, the outcome, whatever you are trying to get from such kind of custom development, will be a little bit difficult. Let's suppose, like, if you are working with a medium level of data or a small level of data that will be easier to handle with the Nintex. However, the bulk data on a high level of data would be difficult. I have been working with Nintex for the past three years. I've been able to create some really good products in different domains, including banking and insurance. Everything seems achievable, but there are a few things I'm missing. First, debugging can be a bit difficult in Nintex. You can't debug forms and workflows easily. This is something that could be improved in future releases. It requires some R&D. Second, I would like to see more integration with AI. There is some custom integration available through the gateway, but it would be great to have more AI-related features built into the platform.

A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation
I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's primary advantage is its low-code nature which allows for rapid development without extensive coding."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"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."
"With an extensive list of integrations with LOB data, your workflows can extend far beyond SharePoint, driving adoption of SharePoint."
"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform."
"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."
"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
 

Cons

"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."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"The solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"The Workflow Designer needs improvement."
"While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"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."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"The annual support costs are expensive."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."
"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."
