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.

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

"From our perspective, you can save at least thirty percent in terms of time spent on manual processes, and documenting approvals and process flows."
"K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email.​"
"This tool set makes it easy to integrate current processes and increase adoption rates and usage for the tool, as well as the process changes to update it on the fly."
"The value of this solution is that it's easy to maintain, and to further develop."
"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."
"If you need to integrate into anything, K2 is very useful."
"The solution in general is very easy to use, very user-friendly, and it has satisfied the requirements I have."
"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."

"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
 

Cons

"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"The Workflow Designer needs improvement."
"It didn't calculate the designs I needed."
"NWC forms could be better. The ability to build workflows that are not dependent on SharePoint is very desirable."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"Because Microsoft announced that they will stop supporting Nintex Process Platform and Nintex Process Platform stopped supporting it as well, I will never recommend Nintex Process Platform Workflows or Forms in the near future, but Nintex K2 can be an option."
"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently."
"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."
"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."
"Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly."

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."
"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."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"Nintex is around INR 200 per license in India, which is much cheaper. Smaller organizations are always looking for cost-effective solutions, and Nintex provides local solutions with very low pricing."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"This solution is affordable and is cheaper than most alternatives on the market. We have a standard cloud license that costs about 20k per year."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"We have a yearly license."
