We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is stable. This is the reason that we are using Automic, in some cases, because of its stability and features.""If I have a higher workload with smaller machines, it is easy to increase everything.""It provides a simple reduction of headcount and also a reduction of run through time.""Jobs are planned automatically to eliminate the need to plan them manually. It also saves us effort because there is no need to create job objects manually."

"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools.""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.""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.""With an extensive list of integrations with LOB data, your workflows can extend far beyond SharePoint, driving adoption of SharePoint.""The setup is easy.""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.""It is very easy to use."

Cons
"What I am missing today is robotics. If Automic would like to stay as one of the biggest automation engines on the market, they have to find an option with a robotics solution.""In the last two years or so, Automic has not invested as much in the product as we would have expected."

"The Workflow Designer needs improvement.""Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement""The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product.""Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best.""User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful.""The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better.""The solution does not integrate with many platforms.""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."

  • "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."

    Overview

    Service orchestration enables organizations to extract the most value from their investments in people and technology. Because time spent waiting for a service request means wasted money and lost opportunity.

    Service orchestration can intelligently automate the sometimes complex sequence of tasks required to deliver a service. Whether those tasks need to be executed on-premises or in the cloud, on virtual or physical systems, or even using leading-edge technologies like microservices or containers, service orchestration ensures that those tasks are executed accurately and efficiently. This maximizes productivity and enables businesses to move at digital speeds.
