We performed a comparison between IBM BPM 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."We are implementing the tool to triple our monthly transaction volume."
"Automating the whole workflow process to give our data steward the ability to take actions rapidly, and making sure we have all the data synced within the different platforms that we are using."
"We are receiving good assistance from the technical support."
"We made the transformation to agile. Altogether with BPM, it is the total package."
"The performance is fine."
"It excels at analytics. It provides visibility across all activities of a company's processes and performance."
"It helps maintain, and in many instances, lower costs, as well as to maintain those costs, keeping them stable."
"This solution has streamlined our operation and improved the TAT of sales, operations, and underwriters."
"Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."
"Provides the ability to automate SharePoint processes (building sites, lists, updating content). You can also automate document and content processes, onboarding and offboarding, and general IT and HR solutions."
"I find it useful to utilize LDAP query action to find out the status of a particular user."
"The strength of this solution lies in its connectors and the accessibility of an open API. The presence of an open API allows users to create custom connectors if necessary, provided there is access to the source API documentation. Additionally, the platform features a straightforward yet highly effective forms tool. This tool not only seamlessly integrates with the workflow functionality but also facilitates the transmission of information to the document generation tool. This comprehensive integration is particularly noteworthy when compared to alternatives such as Oracle, which tends to rely on more complex and separate logic for similar functionalities. A key strength of Nintex lies in its user-centric approach to help documentation. The materials are designed to be easily understood, avoiding complex terminology. In cases where technical terms are used, they are linked to articles for further clarification. This contrasts with platforms like Microsoft and Oracle, which may employ technical jargon without clear explanations. Nintex further supports its users through a robust online community, fostering collaboration and shared insights. Additionally, Nintex University offers online training across all applications, following a role-based structure. Unlike some other platforms, Nintex's training is thoughtfully broken down into shorter courses, focused on specific roles. This approach ensures that users can efficiently access the information they need without navigating through extensive and potentially irrelevant content, as may be the case with Oracle's training structure."
"This tool set makes it easy to integrate current processes and increase adoption rates and usage for the tool, as well as the process changes to update it on the fly."
"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."
"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."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"From the testing perspective and minor enhancements perspective, customization is something that is a little tedious as compared to new tools. In addition, various open-source tools that are available are not working with IBM BPM."
"The front end is not customised for a good user experience."
"The constant switch between Eclipse and its web versions can be annoying and confusing."
"Performance in the development environment space. I know that they have been taking it off the desktop version and putting on the web, and it is not 100% yet."
"The pricing is a little bit high. It's gone up in cost."
"I have an interest around the robotic piece, and integrating that with the processes. I think that is certainly a good direction to be going."
"It might not be suitable for entry level clients because it comes with a huge number of modules for processing that at times might not be necessary for upcoming clients."
"The stability varies because it involves a lot of other components like databases, so sometimes if something goes wrong there, it can't recover from the fatal errors."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"Difficult to include external partners with the solution deployed on-premise."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"We cannot use the same solution on cloud."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
