We performed a comparison between Nintex Process Platform and vCenter Orchestrator based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Process Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The integration capabilities have been very useful."
"I really like the visual representation. It actually looks like a flow chart, which is nicer than a SharePoint Designer workflow, which doesn't have that ability."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email."
"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."
"K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding."
"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."
"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."
"The solution is pretty stable and reliable."
"It has the best workflow feature."
"The solution was easy to install."
"Communication with technical support is very good. It has a repository of knowledge base articles which we can access which are very helpful."
"User-friendly and easy to deploy."
"The stability of the product is very good."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement"
"I believe vCenter Orchestrator should be part of VMware vSphere's basic bundle. As a product, vCenter Orchestrator should not be licensed at all because the world has progressed way beyond what it can offer."
"I would like to have an interface that can manage both on-premises and cloud solutions from a single console, where we can easily manage the resources that are being used or at least applications. Whereby clicking here and there from on-premises to cloud, or cloud to on-premises, depending on the requirements. If that can be accomplished, it will be extremely beneficial."
"I believe a transparent view and better terms of condition between Oracle and vCenter Orchestrator would be helpful."
"I did not do the initial setup. However, it was complex at the beginning."
"Its technical support team takes a long time to escalate the issues."
"I would like to see better performance."
"The custom workflows are very difficult and confusing."
"VMware tools would benefit from more automation. When installing our devices and servers, we often need to install the VMware tools manually. This process should be automated during the VM installation process."
