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.

Works well, but its interface should be a bit more user-friendly
We use it for our process flows and levels of approvals, but I am not managing it directly Its performance, stability, and security are fine. Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly. I have been using this solution for close to a year. It is stable. It is easy to scale. We currently…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This tool is really helpful in reducing a lot of manual work. Its drag and drop components help to create a workflow faster than SharePoint Workflow Designer."
"It is very easy to use."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities. We've never had issues integrating it without solutions."
"The technical support provided by Nintex is very helpful."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"With an extensive list of integrations with LOB data, your workflows can extend far beyond SharePoint, driving adoption of SharePoint."
"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."
"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
 

Cons

"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"I think it was lacking a little bit in its multiple in-house processes and other processes. So there is a little bit of a gap in collaboration."
"There is room for improvement in the user experience in the forms."
"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper."
"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly."
"This solution only supports basic text, but we would like to be able to insert components such as rich text, graphs, charts, pictures, and other objects."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"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."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"We have a yearly license."

Nintex Process Platform is expensive. Prices relate to both features and the professional services necessary due to our lack of an implementation team.
