We performed a comparison between AWS Step Functions 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 solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"The integration capability is easy, whereas building state machines is tricky."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"The number of historical events is great."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"I think the initial setup is fine."
"It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper."
"It has a lot of features for creating and managing workflows, as well as for integrating with other applications. Nintex offers features, particularly to ensure a user-friendly experience."
"With an extensive list of integrations with LOB data, your workflows can extend far beyond SharePoint, driving adoption of SharePoint."
"This solution is very easy to use and customize, using almost zero coding. It's built on SharePoint which many companies in our country have experience with. This made it easy to adapt the application in our environment."
"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"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."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"The solution's pricing could be cheaper. It is cheaper than Airflow."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"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."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"We cannot use the same solution on cloud."
"We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution."
"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 solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"The Workflow Designer needs improvement."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
