Pros
"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.""The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually.""This solution is very easy to use and customize, using almost zero coding.

This made it easy to adapt the application in our environment.""Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email.​""Out of box connectivity with UiPath.""It is very easy to use.""K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding.""It has integration with BI and Analytics tools, and RPA toolsets as well."

"The solution's ability to template and easily implement are the most valuable features. It offers good replication as well.""The solution's most valuable feature is its good automation features.""In regards to the workflows, the fact that we can actually have a full dashboard library of all the existing workflows on this is great. We can see all the workflows and what all the actions do and can work with scripts.""The hardware abstraction layer, being able to make the VMs portable when moving to a different platform or over a WAN.""The stability of the product is very good.""The solution is stable.""Technical support is helpful.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the workflow creation."

Cons
"The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement.""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.""​Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting.​""We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems.""The security features for this solution need to be improved.""Nintex seems to be very server intensive. It is one of the reasons that we are moving to a different product on the SharePoint 2016 platform.""Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved.""K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."

More Nintex Process Platform Cons →

"When the SSO certificate needs to be renewed, the upgrading and testing are quite complicated.""This is an expensive solution.""We encounter challenges related to the renewal of support subscriptions.""A feature to review and setup tasks should be added.""vCenter Orchestrator's debugging capacity could be improved.""Many times, customers' licenses are not used because the client is not aware of the features and the product benefits. When somebody is buying a product, they just do a default configuration.""There are no good manuals or guidelines on integrations. Hence, you need to be asking someone.""This solution needs to have more built-in workflows."

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."
  • "Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
  • "Our maintenance costs are reduced."
  • "The annual support costs are expensive."
  • "Comparatively, it's expensive."
  • "We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
  • "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."
  • "There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
  • More Nintex Process Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Our licensing is on a yearly basis. We pay for the license and then we pay the support every year."
  • "This solution is expensive and the licensing is more attractive for Haveri."
  • "The price is reasonable, and one of the reasons that this product was selected."
  • "We provide the VMware solution to our clients, for which they pay a perpetual license."
  • "The concept of hyper-convergence is smart. I don't know if it can be applied with less cost to be more affordable for small or medium-sized companies. The cost is a very important factor for it. We are currently depending on SAN storage. However, the hyper-converged solutions are depending on the storage within the hosts, such as vSAN in the VMware. It is a smart solution."
  • "We pay a yearly fee, based on our entries."
  • "The licensing module is somewhat complex. Calculating the cost is complicated. Many of our clients are unclear about the billing system and the traffic metering."
  • "The licensing cost is manageable because they have different versions available, standard, essential, and advanced."
