Process capabilities impress while user setup requires streamlining
I stopped using ADONIS because it is not capable of integrating and automating business processes for the POC. I see that Camunda is more capable for our POC project to orchestrate business processes. We also plan to integrate with UiPath because currently, we are focusing on task automations, not process orchestrations. In the future, we plan to implement process orchestrations. I see that Camunda can integrate UiPath into the process, process model, and process integrations. ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users.

Have experienced challenges integrating with other systems but have benefited from improved process automation
There are multiple areas that need improvement. Nintex Process Platform needs integration with other platforms such as Salesforce and other CRM platforms. There should be actions available so we can directly integrate with these systems. Additionally, there is a gap in mathematical actions and logical actions. We need to parse data, and if we receive data in JSON, there is no action available in Nintex Process Platform to parse the data and extract data from that JSON string. Such actions and logical actions must be available in Nintex Process Platform to increase its capability. For us, Nintex Process Platform is configurable with SQL Server, but there is no configuration option available with Oracle. We also use Oracle in multiple processes, but we have found no way to directly configure Nintex Process Platform with Oracle. We have to use SQL Server in between. We have to create a link server within SQL Server as a bypass to retrieve or post data into Oracle. There were multiple improvement points available.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"This is a good solution for consulting firms and universities and is one of the best systems for analytics of business processes."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"It's a very complete solution and user-friendly."
"The process modeling interface of ADONIS is very comprehensive, being more complete than Camunda in terms of process documentation and process components such as risks, KPI, and other process components, making it excellent for process documentation, compliance, and repository."
"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."
"The support is fantastic and we have really good contact with them, it's very easy to use."
"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email.​"
"It can scale well."
"From what was a 20 to 30-day approval cycle, it has now come down to between two and three days for approving loans and claims."
"Out of box connectivity with UiPath."
"As a Solutions Architect my role is to help my clients implement tools and technology that can build and automate their businesses."
"The setup is easy."
 

Cons

"One of the weak points is that you can't just export so I'd like to see an improvement in exporting features."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit."
"Technical support is not so good, i.e., you should have a good contact inside the company, because the service desk is not that efficient."
"We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution."
"Difficult to include external partners with the solution deployed on-premise."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"The Workflow Designer needs improvement."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"Nintex Workflow is more expensive than Microsoft's native products, but it is still considered moderately priced when compared to higher-end products such as K2."
"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."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
