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."AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"It is a scalable solution."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"The number of historical events is great."
"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"The integration capability is easy, whereas building state machines is tricky."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities. We've never had issues integrating it without solutions."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"It has integration with BI and Analytics tools, and RPA toolsets as well."
"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 is very easy to use."
"K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding."

"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"The solution's pricing could be cheaper. It is cheaper than Airflow."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"The Workflow Designer needs improvement."
"The solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
"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."
