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 is a scalable product."
"We are using Nintex Workflow for internal reviews between banking groups, and automating the workflow."
"It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper."
"NWC forms could be better. Also, the ability to build workflows that are not dependent on SharePoint is very desirable. The forms feature just isn’t as functional as the forms for SharePoint."
"It's easy to learn. However, there is very little content available for the Nintex also, but they are providing their own documentation and all. So, it's easy to learn also."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities. We've never had issues integrating it without solutions."
"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."
"The customer service and support team are good, the premium support is good, and their response is fast."
"We promote the use of this product because it's integrated and has a very nicely designed program, simplifying our workflow and the workflow of our clients, which saves time and money for everyone while making us more productive."
"The most valuable feature of SoftExpert BPM is its ease of use."
"A complete project management suite in one integrated package."
 

Cons

"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics."
"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."
"While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"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."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"The form in SoftExpert BPM should improve."
"I would like for them to incorporate artificial intelligence and be more intuitive."
"It could do more to use all the data it collects to intelligently manage the user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"The annual support costs are expensive."
"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."
"Certainly. Notably, in terms of cost, this solution presents a substantial advantage, being approximately forty percent more economical compared to Oracle. It offers flexibility with two deployment options, catering to both cloud and on-premises preferences. Moreover, within each deployment option, there are two variations available. For organizations with limited IT resources and relying on citizen developers—individuals from the business side comfortable with technology—the platform allows for a more hands-on approach. These users can independently implement solutions without extensive coding or custom development. In contrast, the KQ solution at Symantec is adept at addressing the needs of sectors like banking, where extensive custom development is required for seamless integration with existing applications, websites, and ensuring robust security measures."
"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."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"The price of SoftExpert BPM is not expensive."
