A strong choice for business process modeling with an easy-to-use drag and drop approach
I design, maintain, and govern the tool to roll it out in the company. I use the solution for business process modeling. For ADOIT, the solution is used for enterprise architecture management or the maintenance of application landscapes Besides BPMN, it's easy to handle the solution thanks to…

Straightforward interface and user-friendly
There are a lot of apps in K2, but what I really found that needs improvement is the management section of K2, especially the management server and the admin page where you can manage processes, add users, set security fees, and add licenses. The reason for this is because the part that is the section of administration, particularly the management called rows, has multiple rules, as many as you want. For instance, you may have around 200 rules, and when you view them, only the first ten are displayed, and you have to click next to see the next ten and so on until you get to the hundredth rule. On that page, as of today, we only have what we call to fetch, where you can search for a particular rule you're looking for, or else you have to keep clicking until you get to the final page you want. So that's a bit challenging.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"It's a very complete solution."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."
"It is a stable solution."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"It is a scalable product."
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"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."
"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."
"It has integration with BI and Analytics tools, and RPA toolsets as well."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
 

Cons

"When you update a page, the information on the quick links sidebar on the left side doesn't stay in the same place. It moves down, so you have to scroll to find it. That's not very user-friendly."
"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."
"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"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."
"I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper."
"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"Certainly. Notably, in terms of cost, this solution presents a substantial advantage, being approximately forty percent more economical compared to Oracle. It offers flexibility with two deployment options, catering to both cloud and on-premises preferences. Moreover, within each deployment option, there are two variations available. For organizations with limited IT resources and relying on citizen developers—individuals from the business side comfortable with technology—the platform allows for a more hands-on approach. These users can independently implement solutions without extensive coding or custom development. In contrast, the KQ solution at Symantec is adept at addressing the needs of sectors like banking, where extensive custom development is required for seamless integration with existing applications, websites, and ensuring robust security measures."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"Nintex Workflow is more expensive than Microsoft's native products, but it is still considered moderately priced when compared to higher-end products such as K2."
"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."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
