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 very easy to use."
"The setup is easy."
"It can scale well."
"The technical support is very good."
"K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding."
"The Vizio-style designer that runs in the browser is, to me, by far the most valuable feature of the solution. It means that the customer doesn’t have to install any client tools to create powerful workflows."
"It provides data accuracy with fewer failures."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"Difficult to include external partners with the solution deployed on-premise."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"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."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"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."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"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."
"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 price of this solution is affordable but the problem in Algeria is our community is a bit slower. The new clients might feel the solution is a bit expensive."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
