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 integration capability is easy, whereas building state machines is tricky."
"The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"The number of historical events is great."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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's easy to learn. However, there is very little content available for the Nintex also, but they are providing their own documentation and all. So, it's easy to learn also."
"It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."
"K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding."
"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."
"We were able to meet all of the requirements for functionality that were specified, and we did not experience challenges where we had to compromise on functionality."
"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."
"It has integration with BI and Analytics tools, and RPA toolsets as well."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"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"
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"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."
"Nintex seems to be very server intensive. It is one of the reasons that we are moving to a different product on the SharePoint 2016 platform."
