Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable. The latest updates and flexibility that it provides around a task activity are interesting for me.""I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable.""It has an open BPM""I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features.""The solution is useful for small projects.""Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products.""We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features.""The most valuable features are the management of internal processes, the ability to execute from design and the model for internal processes, the ability to make processes visible, and the ability to have information about the current state of each instance."

"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform.""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.""It can scale well.""It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools.""It is a scalable product.""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.""It is very easy to use.""I think the initial setup is fine."

Cons
"I would say that Camunda should actually focus on small cases as well. There's a lot of space out there, for small businesses. If they can, they should cater to them.""In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly.""The primary issue regarding the Camuto platform is its high cost of training. This is why I haven't discussed it extensively, as compared to other products that are more affordable in terms of developer training.""I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist.""The Camunda Modeler installation poses a challenge, requiring local installation, which doesn't help collaboration like other online tools, for instance.""The latency of API could be decreased.""I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes. I think that there is room for improvement in those areas.""I would like to see better pricing."

More Camunda Cons →

"We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution.""The Workflow Designer needs improvement.""The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general.""K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak.""K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit. It is just a heavy workflow solution. It doesn't have a supplemental product like RPA. If you want to use RPA, you have to use Blue Prism, UIPath, or something else. If you use Nintex, it has an RPA solution. It is a form-based application, and they are doing everything electronically. The initial investment in K2 is heavy because it is a BPM software. It does not have a low cost because they charge you the same for one workflow or 100 workflows.""We cannot use the same solution on cloud.""I think it was lacking a little bit in its multiple in-house processes and other processes. So there is a little bit of a gap in collaboration.""The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."

  • More Camunda Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Nintex products are expensive, but valuable. Licensing in on-premise was historically based on a perpetual model, where you’d license per Web front-end. However, they are switching exclusively to a consumption (subscription) model, where you purchase the number of workflows you think you’ll use in your environment, and can scale up from there."
  • "Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
  • "Our maintenance costs are reduced."
  • "The annual support costs are expensive."
  • "Comparatively, it's expensive."
  • "We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
  • "The initial investment in K2 is heavy. Currently, the expenditure is $28,000 for a year. After we go to the cloud, it is going to be per seat and probably cheaper. Currently, there are unlimited users."
  • "There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
