We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business.""The central dictionary is a valuable feature.""This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer.""The product is easy to use."

"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is.""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.""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.""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.""The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good.""It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper.""The technical support is very good.""I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."

Cons
"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator.""The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems.""There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on.""As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling."

More BIC Platform Cons →

"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general.""Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool.""User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful.""The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement.""I think it was lacking a little bit in its multiple in-house processes and other processes. So there is a little bit of a gap in collaboration.""We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems.""It is very flexible because you can design your own main forms, but if there were some templates according to your market, it would be more useful for a new customer. That would make K2 more user friendly and easier to use.""Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing will differ between enterprises based on needs such as customization, but the company uses a standardized algorithm for determining this."
  • "Scalability-wise, it is an expensive product."
  • More BIC Platform 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."
