We performed a comparison between Nintex Process Platform and webMethods Integration Server 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 technical support is very good."
"It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"The workflow engine of K2 is its main strength. Its workflow engine is probably one of the best, and that's the reason why Nintex bought K2. It can clearly handle any complex process or scenario. K2 is almost low-code. It is a no-code or low-code solution. You don't have to read a whole lot of code. It is pretty much GUI based. Their support is also excellent. The biggest advantage of K2 is SmartObjects, which allow you to separate the data from the application. It is a standalone application that allows you to build a data source from different places, which a lot of other applications also do. It is called SmartObjects technology, which is pretty powerful. If I have data from different applications, such as JD and ServiceNow, I can just create a SmartObject based on a data source and use it. I have some forms that have six, seven, or eight applications in a single form with data from different places."
"It provides data accuracy with fewer failures."
"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"The Vizio-style designer that runs in the browser is, to me, by far the most valuable feature of the solution. It means that the customer doesn’t have to install any client tools to create powerful workflows."
"It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper."
"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."
"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."
"One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."
"The comprehensiveness and depth of Integration Servers' connectors to packaged apps and custom apps is unlimited. They have a connector for everything. If they don't, you can build it yourself. Or oftentimes, if there is value for other customers as well, you can talk with webMethods about creating a new adapter for you."
"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."
"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."
"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."
"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently."
"It's very tedious to manage."
"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."
"We cannot use the same solution on cloud."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement"
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
"The interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly."
"This product has too many gaps. You find them after update installations. This should be covered by automatic testing."
"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."
"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."
"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
