Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The solution offers very good integration capabilities. We've never had issues integrating it without solutions.""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.""I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows.""It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless.""Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email.​""Allows to use workflow for simple approvals and LazyApproval. The feature is easy to implement for mobile approval.""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."

Cons
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement.""The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow.""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.""I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics.""The Workflow Designer needs improvement.""K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak.""We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems.""Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."

"Some user-defined functions for transformation must be added to the next release of the solution.""In the next release, I would like to see REST improved and new technologies for microservices. I'd like to see more containers for separating containers."

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."
