Offers good integration capabilities and easy to learn and good stability

Nintex is still at the starting point of integrating with AI. It has integrated with a very small piece of artificial intelligence., like only integrated with the Google Cloud. There is a benefit, like a no-code and low-code solution. But, again, if you are a developer, especially if you are a hardcore developer, you are using your code knowledge, its skills, and all. And, suddenly, you are moving into the low-code solution, and then you will feel, like, so many things you can't achieve with the low-code solution. And in that case, you are looking for some custom development. And it's a little bit difficult in the Nintex area. Because they are totally dependent on the low-code solution, and you are looking at where you can implement your custom things. However, you can do that thing, but that will be a difficult task. Also, the outcome, whatever you are trying to get from such kind of custom development, will be a little bit difficult. Let's suppose, like, if you are working with a medium level of data or a small level of data that will be easier to handle with the Nintex. However, the bulk data on a high level of data would be difficult. I have been working with Nintex for the past three years. I've been able to create some really good products in different domains, including banking and insurance. Everything seems achievable, but there are a few things I'm missing. First, debugging can be a bit difficult in Nintex. You can't debug forms and workflows easily. This is something that could be improved in future releases. It requires some R&D. Second, I would like to see more integration with AI. There is some custom integration available through the gateway, but it would be great to have more AI-related features built into the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to use."

"This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer."

"While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business."

"The central dictionary is a valuable feature."

"K2 is reasonably priced."

"It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."

"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email."

"Our solutions using Nintex has been most successful in automating HR processes because it allows you to easily and rapidly build solutions that conform to the unique business processes for each entity."

"The workflow engine of K2 is its main strength. Its workflow engine is probably one of the best, and that's the reason why Nintex bought K2. It can clearly handle any complex process or scenario. K2 is almost low-code. It is a no-code or low-code solution. You don't have to read a whole lot of code. It is pretty much GUI based. Their support is also excellent. The biggest advantage of K2 is SmartObjects, which allow you to separate the data from the application. It is a standalone application that allows you to build a data source from different places, which a lot of other applications also do. It is called SmartObjects technology, which is pretty powerful. If I have data from different applications, such as JD and ServiceNow, I can just create a SmartObject based on a data source and use it. I have some forms that have six, seven, or eight applications in a single form with data from different places."

"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."

"It is very easy to use."

"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."

Cons

"As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling."

"There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."

"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator."

"The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems."

"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."

"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."

"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."

"Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting."

"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."

"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."

"Difficult to include external partners with the solution deployed on-premise."

"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Scalability-wise, it is an expensive product."

"Pricing will differ between enterprises based on needs such as customization, but the company uses a standardized algorithm for determining this."

"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."

"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."

"Our maintenance costs are reduced."

"This solution is affordable and is cheaper than most alternatives on the market. We have a standard cloud license that costs about 20k per year."

"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."

"Comparatively, it's expensive."

"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."

"Nintex is around INR 200 per license in India, which is much cheaper. Smaller organizations are always looking for cost-effective solutions, and Nintex provides local solutions with very low pricing."
