Satya Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good integration capabilities and easy to learn and good stability
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. And in that case, you are looking for some custom development. And it's a little bit difficult in the Nintex area. Because they are totally dependent on the low-code solution, and you are looking at where you can implement your custom things. However, you can do that thing, but that will be a difficult task. Also, the outcome, whatever you are trying to get from such kind of custom development, will be a little bit difficult. Let's suppose, like, if you are working with a medium level of data or a small level of data that will be easier to handle with the Nintex. However, the bulk data on a high level of data would be difficult. I have been working with Nintex for the past three years. I've been able to create some really good products in different domains, including banking and insurance. Everything seems achievable, but there are a few things I'm missing. First, debugging can be a bit difficult in Nintex. You can't debug forms and workflows easily. This is something that could be improved in future releases. It requires some R&D. Second, I would like to see more integration with AI. There is some custom integration available through the gateway, but it would be great to have more AI-related features built into the platform.

Good for automatically triggering workflows, but needs to be more customizable

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Allows to use workflow for simple approvals and LazyApproval. The feature is easy to implement for mobile approval."
"It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."
"I find it useful to utilize LDAP query action to find out the status of a particular user."
"I really like the visual representation. It actually looks like a flow chart, which is nicer than a SharePoint Designer workflow, which doesn't have that ability."
"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"It provides data accuracy with fewer failures."
"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 has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful."
"The solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"It's very tedious to manage."
"The tool can be limiting when more complex solutions are required. Improving it to offer greater functionality and less reliance on technical expertise could be beneficial."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"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 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."
