Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design.""I really like the visual representation. It actually looks like a flow chart, which is nicer than a SharePoint Designer workflow, which doesn't have that ability.""It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper.""The technical support is very good.""It is a scalable product.""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.""The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good.""Allows to use workflow for simple approvals and LazyApproval. The feature is easy to implement for mobile approval."

"Orchestration is commonly utilized by major corporations. The process of linking methods in ServiceNow, known as the RTS chain to parent methods, is executed seamlessly and efficiently. It's quite impressive and significant in its impact.""It's probably the best product out there.""The solution effectively automates business processes.""Great with IT processes and business processes.""This is a user-friendly solution where scripts can be made with ease. There are also many integration options, including Microsoft products, which gives the product a competitive edge.""The data visualization is good.""The product has a flexible interface for development.""The interface of the solution is very user friendly and it is easily accessible via a simple URL. This makes it easier to complete the UI based tasks but using other features require expertise in languages like Java. But along with that, there are limitation in terms of network connectivity testing and administrator faces regular challenges in conducting connectivity tests due to these limitations."

Cons
"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper.""The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration.""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.""The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product.""The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better.""The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow.""I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics.""Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement"

More Nintex Process Platform Cons →

"Frequent upgrades may negatively impact the performance of instances. Therefore, for now, I don't recommend any additional upgrades.""The flow rate for releases and updates is very, very slow and does not meet customers' objectives for scalability.""From my space, the only thing that I can say is the spinning up with Google Cloud Services.""The deployment requires awareness among the project staff.""There can be gaps in integration.""There is still room for more integrations. Or, it would be nice to bundle multiple products together rather than selling everything as a model as that turns out to be a bit costly.""There should be connectors to cover at least the top industry applications, and they should be easier to configure in a plug-and-play fashion.""We cannot perform GUI automation using the tool."

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."

  • "In terms of price, this solution is at the higher end of what you'll find."
  • "This is an expensive product, but it is the best in the market considering the features and lack of competitors."
  • "ServiceNow doesn't give a clear cost indication. They have different contracts with different organizations and it's all about negotiation, so you don't know how they are doing at the cost level."
  • "The solution is costly and orchestrations are very expensive."
  • "It is quite expensive because we've had some customers come back and say it's quite pricey because in order for them to go ahead with Orchestration, they must have already been paying for Discovery, service mapping, and a few other things."
  • "The cost of the solution is based on the number of plugins, conductors and integrations used and is charged annually. The licensing cause has been increasing gradually which makes it difficult to access. Initially offer free features but over the time the charges rise which make it an expensive solution with limited features. Along with that, the integration issues persist and require additional middle where and internet connectivity for effective usage."
  • "It is not very expensive."
