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."I like the UI rework, it's much easier."
"The best part of Airflow is its direct support for Python, especially because Python is so important for data science, engineering, and design. This makes the programmatic aspect of our work easy for us, and it means we can automate a lot."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"The initial setup was straightforward and it does not take long to complete."
"Apache Airflow is easy to use and can monitor task execution easily. For instance, when performing setup tasks, you can conveniently view the logs without delving into the job details."
"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 user interface for monitoring and managing workflows has been excellent, particularly in the latest version. c"
"Apache Airflow is useful for workflow automation, making it capable of automating pipelines, data pipelines, and data warehouse processes."
"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."
"The setup is easy."
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually."
"It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper."
"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform."
"Out of box connectivity with UiPath."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"Apache Airflow could be improved with the addition of more frameworks."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"There is an area for improvement in onboarding new people. They should make it simple for newcomers. Else, we have to put a senior engineer to operate it."
"I would like to see it more friendly for other use cases."
"We have faced scenarios where Apache Airflow becomes non-responsive, leading to job failures. To resolve such situations, we had to manually reboot Apache Airflow since it doesn't provide an option to restart within the application. This necessitated modifying some configurations to initiate a restart of all Apache Airflow components. Although Apache Airflow is generally dependable, it may occasionally encounter glitches that can disrupt production flows and batches."
"The graphical user interface can be improved."
"Apache Airflow could be improved by integrating some versioning principles."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"Difficult to include external partners with the solution deployed on-premise."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"It is very flexible because you can design your own main forms, but if there were some templates according to your market, it would be more useful for a new customer. That would make K2 more user friendly and easier to use."
"It's very tedious to manage."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
