Nintex is running much smoother after installing the new version of Nintex Connect on our platform. While we initially tried using consultants, we found it more effective to collaborate directly with our users. This user-centric approach has helped us identify key technical aspects of Nintex. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I would rate Nintex at a solid nine. In my assessment, I haven't come across any automation workflow vendors offering solutions significantly better than Nintex. When examining industry evaluations, particularly from renowned sources like Aragon Research and Forrester's WAV leader report, Nintex consistently stands out in the top quartile for digital business platforms and wide deployments. The recognition extends to other reputable organizations like Gartner and CRM, further affirming Nintex's position as a leader in the field.

If you want to work in a low-code solution, then I would suggest Nintex Process Platform. But if you really want to customize on a very high level and use hard code, then BizFlow is the best tool. I would recommend checking the feasibility and what kind of thing you want to achieve. That’s why my organization is currently using both of them and also thinking about the third one. Like, if anything is available on the market, that is more suitable with BizFlow and Nintex and comes with some other additional features. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I would definitely recommend using K2. I would say it's a perfect use case. I would even go as far as saying it's a great choice. I would give K2 a ten because we have been using it for the past five years without any major issues. Of course, there are some minor issues, but they can be easily resolved. We have the capability to solve them ourselves without relying on OEM support. K2 provides a straightforward interface, allowing us to configure rules for form controls according to our business requirements. It's user-friendly, and even a ten-year-old can understand how to use those rules. It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless. You can approve requests from anywhere, whether through a mobile device or even when you're away from the office. It's very convenient.

I don't recommend others to start with K2 because of its high prices. There are other components that fit the needs of K2 that will not consider reducing their prices. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

We started with K2 Blackboard and K2 Konnect. We want to upgrade to K2 Five. However, if we find out during migration to the newest solution we need to start from scratch we may not stick with the product. I'm an end-user. My company has a K2 license. I'd rate the solution six out of ten.

I rate the solution a six out of ten. K2 is not mature and still needs a lot of stabilization. My advice to new users considering the product will be to use it without customizing it. After installation, use the vanilla workflows, and you will get fast performance. However, if you customize it, you will run into challenges.

We are a K2 customer and a Nintex partner, although, since the 2020 acquisition, they are the same company now. I would recommend the solution, especially for companies that are working to go paperless. I suggest that if they want to integrate between systems from a strategy department into another department, to really look at the integration layers that they have, as it's very advanced. In general, I would rate this solution at a nine out of ten. We've been largely happy with the product.

We have a partnership with K2. All in all, I'd recommend the product to other organizations. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. If the pricing was better, I'd probably rate it higher, however, their licensing model has changed and things are more expensive than they used to be.

I'm a massive fan of K2 even though it's given me a bit of trouble in the past. Essentially, I think there are good features in there as well. It really comes down to your personal requirements, I believe. It's supposed to be a kind of designer-based application, work flow creation application or platform but I personally think that it takes a lot more technical ability to be able to design applications on K2. It requires more than somebody off the street, you need someone who can actually do a bit of design work and be able to spin up a really good application. It's not marketed properly, it's marketed as a designable application platform. But it's not necessarily, it requires a bit of programming knowledge. The other thing I guess would be whether you want to pay for the licensing cost. There is a price for the K2 environment, does that suit you and your organization? That's something which you need to consider. Finally, K2 is also really hard to find, to be honest, and it comes at a premium so there's that maintenance cost as well or even development costs, which may be a lot higher than any other application that you may use. It's given us applications that are stable once you get it right. We haven't had many issues in terms of applications falling over or not responding, things like that. It can be a bit slow if it's database-intensive applications. Again, that could be a mixture of both infrastructure and also K2 application. I would rate this solution a six out of 10.

I would suggest to anyone wanting to deploy this solution to find a good integrator that understands the business first, not only from the technical side. Don't hesitate to take the journey. I would also suggest starting with a small solution and then expand it. Like everything, do a minimum viable product and then extend it a bit more slowly and grow into it. I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

It is very flexible but that also means that it has too many tools. It is hard to stop. You can do whatever you want but this takes practice to understand how to use this solution best. If you need to integrate into anything, K2 is very useful. I advise you to be organized from the outset, before starting the project. This is very important. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. We have examined too many workflows. Some are better, but this one is good enough.

This is a good solution and it is easy to implement. I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows. It is easy to use, and workflow design can be done by business users. Overall, it is a good product to have in an organization. I would rate this solution seven out of ten.
