"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper."
"Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting."
"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."
"Currently, a notable challenge lies in the alignment of user experiences across the eight or nine applications within the suite. Transitioning between applications can be somewhat cumbersome due to varying user interfaces. However, the provider is actively addressing this concern by consistently rolling out updates every four to five months, aimed at harmonizing and streamlining the interfaces. This ongoing effort is expected to enhance the user experience over time. In terms of functionality and features, the platform stands out, offering flexibility with the option for both on-premises and cloud deployment. This flexibility extends to the RPA tool, providing clients with choices tailored to their preferences. An advantage lies in the shared security and data infrastructure across the toolset, facilitating smooth data transfer between applications. This contrasts with experiences with Oracle, where data transfer may involve complexities such as the need for intermediary file formats like TXL or SCZ."
"We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
