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.
"The solution reduces the time to the resolution which is essential for businesses."
"It provides a solution for integration orchestration. This solution is for any organization in the banking, telecommunications, healthcare, manufacturing, and all domains and industries."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow provides a seamless streamlined collaboration within the organizations."
"It helps develop applications very quickly. Once clients get used to it and familiar with the methodology, then they don't feel so locked in. It is able to add this element of agility to our clients' software development lifecycle. That is my favorite thing about it: You're not so locked in as you used to be when developing applications."
"This product is tightly integrated with the RPA automation process."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the fact it is highly configurable. We can do configurations very easily."
"It's a flexible solution."
"It has integrated UI and deployment models, and it has a deep set of consultant and service provider ecosystem features."
"It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper."
"Out of box connectivity with UiPath."
"It provides data accuracy with fewer failures."
"I like the feature of getting an email for a workflow error, then I do not have to go through every instance."
"Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."
"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."
"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'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."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow could improve the integration."
"One significant challenge is the lack of accessible forums or resources to seek help or information when problems arise."
"I would like to see more streamlined install and provisioning; preferably containerized IBM BPM would be helpful."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow can improve UI flexibility and integration. Additionally, the solutions from IBM have to provide a paperless solution, allowing for digital versions of documents."
"The setup and installation process could be made easier."
"The UI of the solution is not good. They should work to update the solution and make it better and fresher."
"Improvements could be made in debugging and troubleshooting."
"Requires a lot of customization code writing which could be reduced."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics."
"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."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"The solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently."
"The Workflow Designer needs 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."
