Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | ||
It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products. The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us. It's very good at conducting business processes that are easily modeled and presented in a way that's easy to understand. The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part. When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version. The most valuable feature is the ability to share the logic within the rules engine with the business, so you can put it up for everybody to read. The number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable. I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features. We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users. | We were able to meet all of the requirements for functionality that were specified, and we did not experience challenges where we had to compromise on functionality. It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper. It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention. Our solutions using Nintex has been most successful in automating HR processes because it allows you to easily and rapidly build solutions that conform to the unique business processes for each entity. 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 provides data accuracy with fewer failures. It saves time as tasks are automated. Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email. | We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do. |
Cons | ||
If there were some industry templates it would have helped significantly, because it is similar to a process map for a domain. That is what we are currently creating, a domain-relevant process map. Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance. I would also like a very easy to use form builder. I would like to have a feature for audit logging, audit logs and audit log management. And some history of use for the audit logs. I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution. The user interface needs improvement. It should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself. I would say that Camunda should actually focus on small cases as well. There's a lot of space out there, for small businesses. If they can, they should cater to them. When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking. When it comes to Alfresco, there are thousands of resources that can help you to utilize within AWS and its Group Services. I would like to see the usage of Camunda BPM on Amazon Web Services be improved. | The security features for this solution need to be improved. We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution. 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. Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting. Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved. User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful. Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise. While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful. | This solution needs to be more customizable. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | ||
I use the open-source free version. Camunda is much cheaper. We are using the open-source version of this solution. It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range. | The annual support costs are expensive. Our maintenance costs are reduced. Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform. 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. | Information Not Available |
