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 process models provide self-documenting systems."
"This is the most complete solution of its kind."
"It's a stable product."
"There is no need to worry about vulnerabilities in the system, because Appian built a secure system."
"Technical support has been amazing overall."
"With low-code, we don't need a lot of coding, and then from the plumbing perspective, there is a complete CI/CD pipeline that exists within Appian that can be leveraged for open deployment."
"Appian's most valuable feature is that we can create end-to-end process workflows with minimum turnaround."
"I find the BPM the most valuable feature."
"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually."
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper."
"This tool set makes it easy to integrate current processes and increase adoption rates and usage for the tool, as well as the process changes to update it on the fly."
"The integration capabilities have been very useful."
"The setup is easy."
"It saves time as tasks are automated."
"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."
"It would be nice if you could create your own customized apps when the business needed them."
"Even though the company has made great improvements in online documentation, featuring rich material which includes case studies of real-life use cases, the material could definitely be better in quality and coverage of use cases."
"The solution could improve by being more responsive when dealing with large quantities of data. Additionally, they can make the decision or rules engine better. It cannot handle too many rules or too many decisions at once."
"There are some restrictions with respect to using external components within Appian. So, for example, if we do not have a particular feature available, there's a long cycle of getting approvals and all of that. That does not offer flexibility, which definitely can be improved on."
"The performance is pretty good, but the distortions need to be optimized in order for it to work well."
"The product’s pricing could be improved from the developers' perspective."
"Occasionally, certain pre-made modules may not be necessary and customers may desire greater customization options. Instead of being limited to pre-designed features, they may prefer a more flexible version that allows for greater customization."
"Something I would like to see improved is an SQL database connection."
"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."
"The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"It is very flexible because you can design your own main forms, but if there were some templates according to your market, it would be more useful for a new customer. That would make K2 more user friendly and easier to use."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"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."
