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

"It is a scalable product."
"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform."
"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 integration with BI and Analytics tools, and RPA toolsets as well."
"K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding."
"This solution is very easy to use and customize, using almost zero coding. It's built on SharePoint which many companies in our country have experience with. This made it easy to adapt the application in our environment."
"Allows to use workflow for simple approvals and LazyApproval. The feature is easy to implement for mobile approval."
"Provides the ability to automate SharePoint processes (building sites, lists, updating content). You can also automate document and content processes, onboarding and offboarding, and general IT and HR solutions."
"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
 

Cons

"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"It is very flexible because you can design your own main forms, but if there were some templates according to your market, it would be more useful for a new customer. That would make K2 more user friendly and easier to use."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"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."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper."
"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

"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"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."
"The annual support costs are expensive."
"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."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"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."
"We have a yearly license."
