We performed a comparison between IBM BPM 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."Initially, the process architecture studio was very helpful and it was compliant with BPMN standards."
"Good user interface and good add option."
"It is being able to see the process, and understanding what the process is versus having to bury it in code somewhere."
"We can scale by increasing the infrastructure which is currently running."
"Everything is coupled together and comes as one solution."
"One thing that I love about them is that they make it easier to integrate with other systems, especially with the use of smaller files."
"The possibility to add Java code as embedded .jar, that increases the flexibility of the solution."
"IBM BPM should become cloud-native. It should also add a cloud deployment feature."
"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."
"With an extensive list of integrations with LOB data, your workflows can extend far beyond SharePoint, driving adoption of SharePoint."
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"It can scale well."
"NWC forms could be better. Also, the ability to build workflows that are not dependent on SharePoint is very desirable. The forms feature just isn’t as functional as the forms for SharePoint."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email."
"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."
"K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding."
"IBM BPM lacks openness, that is, the ability to become open for new options in terms of APIs, front-end development, and ecosystem. IBM BPM has been quite closed. One of the main improvements would be to somehow embed the rules engine into IBM BPM. Merging IBM BRMS and the rules engine with IBM BPM would be helpful. If there was some simpler way to define rules without having to put IBM BRMS on top of it, it would be good. It's something that we can get out of Camunda but not out of IBM BPM."
"IBM BPM's price could be improved."
"The stability varies because it involves a lot of other components like databases, so sometimes if something goes wrong there, it can't recover from the fatal errors."
"It is a rather thick stack because you have to have WebSphere skills, IBM BPM skills, and an understanding of how the product runs on WebSphere. A lot of this will start to get a lot easier as they put it in containers, which will allow the platform to manage itself in some regards."
"Process Server is no more available than new products out there, but in general IBM has a high cost and complex setup."
"There is room for improvement in the stability."
"When you have to integrate files for enterprise applications."
"I would say the scalability is very good but it's not perfect. It is much more scalable than it has been in the past but... it does require some work to keep it stable. So that is an area that should be improved."
"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."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"The Workflow Designer needs improvement."
"We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."
