We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow 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."It's stable."
"The product integrates well with other pipelines and solutions."
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"Designing processes and workflows is easier, and it assists in coordinating all of the different processes."
"Every feature in Apache Airflow is valuable. The number of operators and features I've used are mainly related to connectivity services and integrated services because I primarily work with GCP."
"Apache Airflow is useful for workflow automation, making it capable of automating pipelines, data pipelines, and data warehouse processes."
"I found the following features very useful: DAG - Workload management and orchestration of tasks using."
"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."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"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."
"Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."
"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."
"Provides the ability to automate SharePoint processes (building sites, lists, updating content). You can also automate document and content processes, onboarding and offboarding, and general IT and HR solutions."
"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"The dashboard is connected into the BPM flow that could be improved."
"For admins, there should be improved logging capabilities because Apache Airflow does have logging, but it's limited to some database data."
"I want to see Apache Airflow have more integrations with more production-based databases since it is an area where the product lacks currently."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the integration process."
"Enhancements become necessary when scaling it up from a few thousand workflows to a more extensive scale of five thousand or ten thousand workflows."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"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."
"I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics."
"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 would like to have access to an on-premises solution. In our country, we have a relationship with Central Bank of Egypt, which do noes not allow cloud solutions to be used. They should offer an on-prem solution with a flexible price license."
"Nintex is still at the starting point of integrating with AI. It has integrated with a very small piece of artificial intelligence., like only integrated with the Google Cloud. There is a benefit, like a no-code and low-code solution. But, again, if you are a developer, especially if you are a hardcore developer, you are using your code knowledge, its skills, and all. And, suddenly, you are moving into the low-code solution, and then you will feel, like, so many things you can't achieve with the low-code solution."
