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."We use it for automating certain processes which previously took a lot of time for agents to set up different products for customers. They would have to enter a lot of different systems. This has now mostly been automated."
"IBM BPM is a stable solution."
"Integration is a big plus for me."
"It helps improve your process through continual measurement."
"It excels at analytics. It provides visibility across all activities of a company's processes and performance."
"IBM BPM is equipped with all the functionalities which are needed for building BPM enterprise-level applications."
"This solution has streamlined our operation and improved the TAT of sales, operations, and underwriters."
"I think the best way it can be it improved, is to make it easier to install. It's a very complicated piece of software, and there are a lot of things you have to do to get it set up. It's not just running an installer. You install WebSphere. You install the BPM product, and there's a large host of other steps you have to do: run queries against the database, you have to manually configure a bunch of properties files for your environment. I think if they could streamline all that, so it wasn't a considerable effort to install, that would be very useful. Because from an engineering point of view, you want to spend as little time as possible actually installing a product."
"I like the feature of getting an email for a workflow error, then I do not have to go through every instance."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities. We've never had issues integrating it without solutions."
"It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."
"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."
"The strength of this solution lies in its connectors and the accessibility of an open API. The presence of an open API allows users to create custom connectors if necessary, provided there is access to the source API documentation. Additionally, the platform features a straightforward yet highly effective forms tool. This tool not only seamlessly integrates with the workflow functionality but also facilitates the transmission of information to the document generation tool. This comprehensive integration is particularly noteworthy when compared to alternatives such as Oracle, which tends to rely on more complex and separate logic for similar functionalities. A key strength of Nintex lies in its user-centric approach to help documentation. The materials are designed to be easily understood, avoiding complex terminology. In cases where technical terms are used, they are linked to articles for further clarification. This contrasts with platforms like Microsoft and Oracle, which may employ technical jargon without clear explanations. Nintex further supports its users through a robust online community, fostering collaboration and shared insights. Additionally, Nintex University offers online training across all applications, following a role-based structure. Unlike some other platforms, Nintex's training is thoughtfully broken down into shorter courses, focused on specific roles. This approach ensures that users can efficiently access the information they need without navigating through extensive and potentially irrelevant content, as may be the case with Oracle's training structure."
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"I find it useful to utilize LDAP query action to find out the status of a particular user."
"Our solutions using Nintex has been most successful in automating HR processes because it allows you to easily and rapidly build solutions that conform to the unique business processes for each entity."
"There is a lot of room for improvement of the dashboards."
"Performance in the development environment space. I know that they have been taking it off the desktop version and putting on the web, and it is not 100% yet."
"I would like to see more inclusion of RPA technologies. If we have more manual processes, we can use robotic process automation and integrate that in with the solution."
"I believe that if the license were cheaper, it would have a greater impact."
"New users will need at least six months to get comfortable with IBM BPM, at least initially. So, there's a learning curve."
"The constant switch between Eclipse and its web versions can be annoying and confusing."
"Integration with web services, especially in the standard version of the product."
"It needs more customization. We like to customize the screens to show more things related to our company."
"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."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"The solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement."
"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."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
