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.

Powerful workflow definition enhances operational stability and efficiency
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows. It is low code, so you don't need a lot of coding, and tasks are just drag and drop. It is also very stable as we haven't had issues with it going down or encountering any operational issues for a long time. The stability and rich features in workflow definition make it a valuable tool.

Pros

"We contacted the technical support team a couple of times last year."
"K2 makes your work simple."
"It saves time as tasks are automated."
"The scheduling and the calendar are very useful."
"The capacity for distributing the jobs in a workflow is an important feature."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"It is the best product because of its stability, ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production and the downtime is very low, I have worked on a lot of service projects and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable."
"The customization is the most valuable feature, the BPM is very good, the interface is very user-friendly, and I like that it's an end-to-end product and complete solution."
"It is the best product because of its stability. ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production, and the downtime is very low. I have worked on a lot of service projects, and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable. The development and change requests can be pushed quickly, and the mapper activity and SSLT kind of features are also good. It is easy to do changes, testing, and deployment. Its deployment is very easy, and we can automate a lot of scripts for our on-premises solution. I work for an investment bank, and we have automated a lot of processes for our customers. Previously, we used to develop scripts and tools. With version 6.x, everything is moved to Maven and other things. Environment handling is done mostly through DevOps tools. As compared to Mulesoft, the deployment and configuration are very easy in TIBCO."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows."
"For specific situations this can be a good solution and a simplified interface to work with."
 

Cons

"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"I have used Pega and I feel that it offers more than the K2 solution, in terms of the latest technology."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently."
"Because we're on-premise, it's more complicated to provide access to their own network."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"My experience with tech support has not been very good. Most of the time, issues are escalated to level three, where they are either unresolved or take two weeks to address."
"The solution is crazy-expensive."
"The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily."
"The connectivity right now is poor because not a lot of protocols are supported, so we had some trouble setting up a proper BPM connection to access cloud data."
"The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The maintenance of the package could be improved."
"It is not lightweight and requires a lot of disk space, memory, and CPU."
"TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft, TIBCO took the steps a little later."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"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."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"There are some discussions about perpetual licenses and conversions, but I'm not much familiar with them."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is an expensive tool compared to others."
