Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Flexible and the ability to divide search screens, and to search for documents. The ECM feature inside the system is great.""The most valuable features are those involving decision making, analysis, and anything related to event documents because those processes are related to content as well.""A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting.""It provides us the capability of producing b​​usiness processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository.""The most valuable feature is its stability, which is why we are using it.""It is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events.""The most valuable feature is the content manager part of the file as it is very stable, robust, and reliable.""It's very easy."

"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform.""Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use.""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.""Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users.""Allows to use workflow for simple approvals and LazyApproval. The feature is easy to implement for mobile approval.""I think the initial setup is fine.""The solution offers very good integration capabilities. We've never had issues integrating it without solutions.""It leverages the out-of-the-box SharePoint back-end. This means that you don’t need to install or deploy additional infrastructure to support Nintex Workflow, unlike some of its competitors."

Cons
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly.""The cloud version could use more stability.""The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility.""90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly.""IBM needs to update the user interfaces of all its products to make them more intuitive and accessible to beginners. Compared to Microsoft products, IBM solutions are less user-friendly. IBM programs are hard to master. It's a problem in my region because it's hard to find IT staff who can work with IBM.""There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer""Once a workflow is launched then it stays static forever, which is a problem because if there is a change in the business then you cannot change the workflow.""We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic."

More IBM Case Foundation Cons →

"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently.""The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product.""Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement""K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit. It is just a heavy workflow solution. It doesn't have a supplemental product like RPA. If you want to use RPA, you have to use Blue Prism, UIPath, or something else. If you use Nintex, it has an RPA solution. It is a form-based application, and they are doing everything electronically. The initial investment in K2 is heavy because it is a BPM software. It does not have a low cost because they charge you the same for one workflow or 100 workflows.""While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful.""We'd like to have integration with SharePoint.""The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement.""Difficult to include external partners with the solution deployed on-premise."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is in the mid-range, it is not cheap, but it's not expensive."
  • "This is not an expensive solution and we are using the standard license."
  • "IBM Case Foundation is a little expensive."
  • "The price falls in the middle range—not overly expensive but not extremely affordable either."
  • More IBM Case Foundation 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."
