We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and Nintex Process Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is stable."
"Apache Airflow's best feature is its flexibility."
"One of its most valuable features is the graphical user interface, providing a visual representation of the pipeline status, successes, failures, and informative developer messages."
"The product integrates well with other pipelines and solutions."
"Since the solution is programmatic, it allows users to define pipelines in code rather than drag and drop."
"I like the UI rework, it's much easier."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Airflow is creating and scheduling jobs. Additionally, the reattempt at failed jobs is useful."
"Designing processes and workflows is easier, and it assists in coordinating all of the different processes."
"It saves time as tasks are automated."
"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."
"The workflow engine of K2 is its main strength. Its workflow engine is probably one of the best, and that's the reason why Nintex bought K2. It can clearly handle any complex process or scenario. K2 is almost low-code. It is a no-code or low-code solution. You don't have to read a whole lot of code. It is pretty much GUI based. Their support is also excellent. The biggest advantage of K2 is SmartObjects, which allow you to separate the data from the application. It is a standalone application that allows you to build a data source from different places, which a lot of other applications also do. It is called SmartObjects technology, which is pretty powerful. If I have data from different applications, such as JD and ServiceNow, I can just create a SmartObject based on a data source and use it. I have some forms that have six, seven, or eight applications in a single form with data from different places."
"It is a scalable product."
"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform."
"It can scale well."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities. We've never had issues integrating it without solutions."
"I would like to see some no-code capabilities and drag and drop abilities in Airflow."
"Adding more automated components in Apache Airflow for basic things like exporting the data would be helpful."
"We need to develop our workflow description and notations because out of the box, Apache Airflow does not provide some features that are needed."
"We're currently using version 1.10, but I understand that there's a lot of improvements in version 2. In the earlier version that we're using, we sometimes have problems with maintenance complexity. Actually using Airflow is okay, but maintaining it has been difficult."
"The dashboard is connected into the BPM flow that could be improved."
"Apache Airflow could be improved with the addition of more frameworks."
"I have some issues with the solution's communication."
"The graphical user interface can be improved."
"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."
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"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."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"We cannot use the same solution on cloud."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
