We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"ARIS Reporting – Helps download valuable content from the tool in multiple formats.""The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the solution to fully customize the methodology according to the company's needs, and to enforce that methodology with features like filters, semantic checks, and reports.""The most valuable feature in the latest versions is the connect portal, where you can do very simple modeling using the web-based portal.""​​ARIS process modeling and analysis allows integration of end-to-end business processes with the organization's vision, strategies, and business objectives, through visual management.""I am impressed with the tool's integration. It also facilitates collaboration in the organization.""The capability to integrate all information of the business and to generate simulations of processes. It can analyze the model of operations quickly.""It has helped me get some ideas across more clearly to my colleagues.​""You can relate different aspects of an organization to each other, and you can clearly define the rates seen in the application."

"It provides data accuracy with fewer failures.""Easily maintained and customization is quite simple.""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.""The technical support is very good.""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'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.""The solution has helped us to automate our business processes, our approval systems, and automation for quickly developing on SharePoint on-prem and SharePoint online."

Cons
"Its governance tool and integration with ESB and execution engine can be improved. Their partner support can also be improved.""There should be a more intuitive tool when creating reports.""End-to-end visibility and real-time are areas that will need greater attention.""There are reports available in ARIS and you can modify them a bit if you want something more specific, but it's not that easy to adjust them and make modifications. It would be nice to have some kind of tool to do that, something that is more user-friendly for people who are not too technical, so that they could create reports the way they want them.""Displaying role allocation matrix models in ARIS Connect needs improvement.""There is a lot of room for improvement. They need to increase the performance of the system flow. They need to support it more. ARIS Process Governance is still quite basic, and they are using an old BPM and process automation module.""It needs external API and the ability to navigate back, similar to "Back" in web browser.""I had a hard time with ARIS's access and licensing policy. It requires you to pay for each step you want to take forward with the solution."

More ARIS BPA Cons →

"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.""The security features for this solution need to be improved.""The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better.""The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general.""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""It's very tedious to manage.""We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Prices are high. However, they are worth it if the organization utilizes the tool to its full potential."
  • "The tool is expensive."
  • "Pricing is a bit on the higher side."
  • "The pricing and licensing costs are available on their website. They will assign a relationship manager to assist if you show further interest in their products."
  • "It is well worth the investment in the enterprise."
  • "Negotiate. Price is high so make sure you’re getting the best deal."
  • "​It is on the higher side."
  • "ARIS Express​ is free."
  • More ARIS BPA Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Nintex products are expensive, but valuable. Licensing in on-premise was historically based on a perpetual model, where you’d license per Web front-end. However, they are switching exclusively to a consumption (subscription) model, where you purchase the number of workflows you think you’ll use in your environment, and can scale up from there."
  • "Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
  • "Our maintenance costs are reduced."
  • "The annual support costs are expensive."
  • "Comparatively, it's expensive."
  • "We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
  • "The initial investment in K2 is heavy. Currently, the expenditure is $28,000 for a year. After we go to the cloud, it is going to be per seat and probably cheaper. Currently, there are unlimited users."
  • "There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
