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.

Integrates well and helpful support
Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company. We use the data that other tools provide in our implementation. We have developed several processes here in the company, such as requests for change, request development, and buying processes. The tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, the administrator can move the process one step to another without needing to be implemented in the logic of the automation, this can be done from the administration console Or with the integration EIK, there is a wide number of options for the administrator who gives you great flexibility in your administration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It has integration with BI and Analytics tools, and RPA toolsets as well."
"In some instances, workflows I’ve built for customers have transformed the business, saving significant time and costs compared to manual, legacy processes."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"Out of box connectivity with UiPath."
"The technical support provided by Nintex is very helpful."
"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."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company, and the tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, giving great flexibility in administration."
"Development is easy on the Ultimus platform."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the user experience in the forms."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"Nintex is still at the starting point of integrating with AI. It has integrated with a very small piece of artificial intelligence., like only integrated with the Google Cloud. There is a benefit, like a no-code and low-code solution. But, again, if you are a developer, especially if you are a hardcore developer, you are using your code knowledge, its skills, and all. And, suddenly, you are moving into the low-code solution, and then you will feel, like, so many things you can't achieve with the low-code solution."
"Nintex technical support is not great."
"At times, issues arise in certain scenarios. In such cases, the versioning can become quite difficult. There may be no other way but to restart the entire process or rectify it at that point."
"It didn't calculate the designs I needed."
"Ultimus is not good at handling cash transactions. They should add a mobile application in the next release."
"We are looking for a feature that can resign and move the process from one step to another step."
"The tool does not save the reprocessing of the steps, this has to be done with own implementations, stores the whole story of a process instance but in a non-processable format for statistics without doing prior job."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"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 annual support costs are expensive."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"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."
"Ultimus could stand to lower the price. Other tools are cheaper."
