"IBM Business Automation Workflow provides a seamless streamlined collaboration within the organizations."
"The most valuable feature is automation, which is quite strong and we are quite happy with it."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Business Automation Workflow is cost management."
"It performs the basic tasks that are required for the BBM solution as part of the overall integration with ECM or enterprise contact management."
"The business process modeling is the most valuable feature."
"It provides a solution for integration orchestration. This solution is for any organization in the banking, telecommunications, healthcare, manufacturing, and all domains and industries."
"This is a low-code software where you can just drag and drop on the user interface. There are also a lot of quality integrations such as TMS."
"It has integrated UI and deployment models, and it has a deep set of consultant and service provider ecosystem features."
"It has integration with BI and Analytics tools, and RPA toolsets as well."
"The technical support is very good."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"The Vizio-style designer that runs in the browser is, to me, by far the most valuable feature of the solution. It means that the customer doesn’t have to install any client tools to create powerful workflows."
"This tool set makes it easy to integrate current processes and increase adoption rates and usage for the tool, as well as the process changes to update it on the fly."
"It saves time as tasks are automated."
"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."
"The workflow engine of K2 is its main strength. Its workflow engine is probably one of the best, and that's the reason why Nintex bought K2. It can clearly handle any complex process or scenario. K2 is almost low-code. It is a no-code or low-code solution. You don't have to read a whole lot of code. It is pretty much GUI based. Their support is also excellent. The biggest advantage of K2 is SmartObjects, which allow you to separate the data from the application. It is a standalone application that allows you to build a data source from different places, which a lot of other applications also do. It is called SmartObjects technology, which is pretty powerful. If I have data from different applications, such as JD and ServiceNow, I can just create a SmartObject based on a data source and use it. I have some forms that have six, seven, or eight applications in a single form with data from different places."
"I would definitely like to see a unified interface between the BPM side of the house and the case side of the house. Something that just seems a bit more cohesive, because right now there is sort of a disconnect between the BPM and the case side of the house. That makes it a bit of a hard sell sometimes. That is definitely first and foremost on my wish list."
"The main areas which need improvement are specifically around reporting and analytics."
"The main improvement would be to make it easier to implement and deploy so that customers can kick it off and run quickly."
"The SCADA Systems are very sophisticated and have a hard time integrating with our older scales. The technical support in regards to the partner side needs some improvement."
"Requires a lot of customization code writing which could be reduced."
"IBM Business Automation Workflow is not a very user-friendly solution."
"Sometimes, we feel like we are not getting the full features of the content management capabilities."
"I feel that the features are not user-friendly."
"Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting."
"It's very tedious to manage."
"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."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."
