We performed a comparison between Control-M and Nintex Process Platform 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."Self Service, BIM features are most valuable. As no need to login to EM client and check the job status."
"My organization has been able to script scheduled jobs in Control-M to potentially replace legacy products that are at end of life or end of service. The previous backup applications that were being used for specific files, folders, or applications were no longer being supported, therefore being able to use Control-M to replace that has been very valuable."
"Most valuable feature would be the ability to detect and notify when a process has not completed successfully."
"Promotions between environments, as well as local, mass update, versioning, and self-service."
"We have a better picture of our auditability. When someone comes to us, and asks for sources, "How did the deltas occur?" We can provide answers quickly, or at least quicker than what we used to. We are actually sure of the information that we provide, where before it was like, "Hmm, I think it comes from over there. Let me double check, but it gets really convoluted over here and I think that is where it comes from." Now, if it is within the Control-M environment, it has a straightforward answer that we can provide with confidence."
"The reporting is top-notch. I haven't found any other applications on the market that can replicate what Control-M offers. The alerting is very good, and I think their service monitoring is the best in the industry."
"The best part about this product is that it has a lot of features. Control-M doesn't limit us and we can use it for a lot of things."
"BIM is a good tool to monitor SLAs, and being a financial organization, this is a very good feature for us."
"I find it useful to utilize LDAP query action to find out the status of a particular user."
"It saves time as tasks are automated."
"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."
"It is very easy to use."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email."
"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."
"This solution is very easy to use and customize, using almost zero coding. It's built on SharePoint which many companies in our country have experience with. This made it easy to adapt the application in our environment."
"This tool is really helpful in reducing a lot of manual work. Its drag and drop components help to create a workflow faster than SharePoint Workflow Designer."
"The response time could be faster when you need a person to answer your questions. There are situations where availability becomes crucial."
"The reporting tool still needs a lot of improvement. It was supposed to get better with the upgrade, and it really didn't get better. It needs help, because it's such a useful thing to have. It needs to be more powerful and easier to use."
"An issue we have run into in our lower environments is that Control-M can log you out frequently."
"I would like to see them adopt more cloud. Most companies don't have a single cloud, meaning we have data sources that come from different cloud providers. That may have been solved already, but supporting Azure would be an improvement because companies tend not to have only AWS and GCP."
"It is a very strong product, but the reporting could be better."
"I am unsure if Control-M is compliant with Microsoft Azure environment integrations. We have some clients in Azure environments. Specifically, in Canada, government agencies and nonprofits mostly use Microsoft Azure."
"The report form and display function are weak; they are not very powerful."
"Right now, Control-M is the leader in EMA analysis, which is similar to Gartner. However, clients want to invest in a strong technology, and therefore this product needs to keep up with the high expectations set for it."
"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful."
"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."
"Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
