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 Amazon, it's scalable."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"The number of historical events is great."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"It can scale well."
"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."
"It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."
"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 workflow engine of K2 is its main strength. Its workflow engine is probably one of the best, and that's the reason why Nintex bought K2. It can clearly handle any complex process or scenario. K2 is almost low-code. It is a no-code or low-code solution. You don't have to read a whole lot of code. It is pretty much GUI based. Their support is also excellent. The biggest advantage of K2 is SmartObjects, which allow you to separate the data from the application. It is a standalone application that allows you to build a data source from different places, which a lot of other applications also do. It is called SmartObjects technology, which is pretty powerful. If I have data from different applications, such as JD and ServiceNow, I can just create a SmartObject based on a data source and use it. I have some forms that have six, seven, or eight applications in a single form with data from different places."
"It has integration with BI and Analytics tools, and RPA toolsets as well."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"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."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"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 solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"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."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
