We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and Nintex Process Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is quite configurable so it is easy to code within a configuration kind of environment."
"This is a simple tool to automate using Python."
"It's stable."
"The best feature is the customization."
"The initial setup was straightforward and it does not take long to complete."
"One of its most valuable features is the graphical user interface, providing a visual representation of the pipeline status, successes, failures, and informative developer messages."
"Development on Apache Airflow is really fast, and it's easy to use with the newer updates. Everything is in Python, so it's not hard to understand. They also have a graphical view, so if you are not a programmer and you are just an administrator, you can easily track everything and see if everything is working or not."
"Apache Airflow's best feature is its flexibility."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities. We've never had issues integrating it without solutions."
"It provides data accuracy with fewer failures."
"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"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."
"It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."
"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."
"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the integration process."
"There is an area for improvement in onboarding new people. They should make it simple for newcomers. Else, we have to put a senior engineer to operate it."
"We need to develop our workflow description and notations because out of the box, Apache Airflow does not provide some features that are needed."
"The scalability of the solution itself is not as we expected. Being on the cloud, it should be easy to scale, however, it's not."
"Apache Airflow could be improved by integrating some versioning principles."
"One specific feature that is missing from Airflow is that the steps of your workflow are not pipelined, meaning the stageless steps of any workflow. Not every workflow can be implemented within Airflow."
"The documentation must be improved."
"The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement."
"It's very tedious to manage."
"At times, issues arise in certain scenarios. In such cases, the versioning can become quite difficult. There may be no other way but to restart the entire process or rectify it at that point."
"We cannot use the same solution on cloud."
"It is very flexible because you can design your own main forms, but if there were some templates according to your market, it would be more useful for a new customer. That would make K2 more user friendly and easier to use."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement"
"The solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
