We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and Nintex Process Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."IBM BPM's best features include document sharing, management document creation, widget and barcode creation, and integration."
"One of the reasons for adopting this solution ten years ago was its ease of use. It had a lot of off-the-shelf functionality, and it did not need to be developed specifically for the project that we were implementing. That was the main reason for adopting it in the beginning."
"It continues to keep up with the changing needs of the business. That is the strong value proposition of BPM. It's not a one-time automation."
"We use it for automating certain processes which previously took a lot of time for agents to set up different products for customers. They would have to enter a lot of different systems. This has now mostly been automated."
"IBM BPM is easy to deploy."
"Automation is the most valuable feature of IBM BPM."
"The installation was straightforward."
"There is information during the process that the analyst will look at, their procedures. We created a part of the application such that the business can change those procedures as needed, on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. As the reps go through the process, they don't necessarily know it's changing, they just know they have to refer to some documentation, and the business can keep that up to date."
"The integration capabilities have been very useful."
"It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities. We've never had issues integrating it without solutions."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"NWC forms could be better. Also, the ability to build workflows that are not dependent on SharePoint is very desirable. The forms feature just isn’t as functional as the forms for SharePoint."
"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"The setup is easy."
"IBM BPM is stable, but sometimes there are issues with the server."
"It needs more customization. We like to customize the screens to show more things related to our company."
"We had a weird problem that whenever the database would go down, even for a few seconds, it broke the connection. It would not come back up as it was supposed to. However, working with IBM, we were able to figure out a fix, then it came back up, even after an interruption of the database."
"Integration with web services, especially in the standard version of the product."
"You must have good experience to work with it. It is not that easy. Its installation is complex, especially in the new version for business automation, and it could be improved. It has a safety application embedded inside it, and you need to do a lot of configuration to install it. I have been working for two days to resolve an issue."
"I would like IBM to consider including AI-enabled process mining, robotic process automation, and very good OCR capabilities from the computer vision side."
"We still have a couple of issues that we are working on right now with stability. Mostly on the configuration side of the tool, and it has been about a month that we have been working to stabilize the platform."
"I'd like the tool to be more flexible."
"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."
"Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"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 seems to be very server intensive. It is one of the reasons that we are moving to a different product on the SharePoint 2016 platform."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"We cannot use the same solution on cloud."
