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're running it on a virtual server, which we can easily upgrade if needed."
"The solution is flexible for all programming languages for all frameworks."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
"The best feature is the customization."
"Apache Airflow is easy to use and can monitor task execution easily. For instance, when performing setup tasks, you can conveniently view the logs without delving into the job details."
"One of its most valuable features is the graphical user interface, providing a visual representation of the pipeline status, successes, failures, and informative developer messages."
"It's stable."
"Its user-friendly interface makes it straightforward to operate, offering a plethora of features for data preparation, buffering, and format conversion."
"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 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."
"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."
"K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding."
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually."
"I like the feature of getting an email for a workflow error, then I do not have to go through every instance."
"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."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"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 documentation must be improved."
"The platform's stability needs improvement, particularly regarding occasional interruptions due to networking issues."
"The problem with Apache Airflow is that it is an open-source tool. You have to build it into a Kubernetes container, which is not easy to maintain, and I find it to be very clunky."
"I have some issues with the solution's communication."
"Airflow should support the dynamic drag creation."
"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."
"We cannot use the same solution on cloud."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement"
