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

"The solution offers very good integration capabilities. We've never had issues integrating it without solutions."
"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."
"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually."
"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 solution in general is very easy to use, very user-friendly, and it has satisfied the requirements I have."
"This is a very good solution, and our client is very happy with it."
"Out of box connectivity with UiPath."
"Able to automate business processes and help reduce a significant amount of development efforts."
"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
 

Cons

"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"It's very tedious to manage."
"K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit. It is just a heavy workflow solution. It doesn't have a supplemental product like RPA. If you want to use RPA, you have to use Blue Prism, UIPath, or something else. If you use Nintex, it has an RPA solution. It is a form-based application, and they are doing everything electronically. The initial investment in K2 is heavy because it is a BPM software. It does not have a low cost because they charge you the same for one workflow or 100 workflows."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit."
"It didn't calculate the designs I needed."
"We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution."
"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

"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."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"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."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"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."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"We have a yearly license."
