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

"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"It is a stable solution."
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"It's a very complete solution."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"It has a lot of features for creating and managing workflows, as well as for integrating with other applications. Nintex offers features, particularly to ensure a user-friendly experience."
"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."
"K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding."
"The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good."
"Allows to use workflow for simple approvals and LazyApproval. The feature is easy to implement for mobile approval."
"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform."
"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."
"The technical support provided by Nintex is very helpful."
 

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."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"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."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"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."
"The Workflow Designer needs improvement."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"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."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
 

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."
"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 annual support costs are expensive."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"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."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
