Have experienced challenges integrating with other systems but have benefited from improved process automation
There are multiple areas that need improvement. Nintex Process Platform needs integration with other platforms such as Salesforce and other CRM platforms. There should be actions available so we can directly integrate with these systems. Additionally, there is a gap in mathematical actions and logical actions. We need to parse data, and if we receive data in JSON, there is no action available in Nintex Process Platform to parse the data and extract data from that JSON string. Such actions and logical actions must be available in Nintex Process Platform to increase its capability. For us, Nintex Process Platform is configurable with SQL Server, but there is no configuration option available with Oracle. We also use Oracle in multiple processes, but we have found no way to directly configure Nintex Process Platform with Oracle. We have to use SQL Server in between. We have to create a link server within SQL Server as a bypass to retrieve or post data into Oracle. There were multiple improvement points available.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Customer Service: Very good, also the commercial team !Technical Support: Perfect ! and the community is a great help also"
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"Bonita BPM is simple and fast; it is very easy to install and use."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"The setup is easy."
"It is for process automation, and it saves a lot of time and resources."
"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."
"From our perspective, you can save at least thirty percent in terms of time spent on manual processes, and documenting approvals and process flows."
"If you need to integrate into anything, K2 is very useful."
"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."
"Its enhanced usability makes it the best of the lot."
"Provides the ability to automate SharePoint processes (building sites, lists, updating content). You can also automate document and content processes, onboarding and offboarding, and general IT and HR solutions."
 

Cons

"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"We cannot use the same solution on cloud, and we have to purchase it all over again to get it on cloud."
"The solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"We would like to have access to an on-premises solution. In our country, we have a relationship with Central Bank of Egypt, which do noes not allow cloud solutions to be used. They should offer an on-prem solution with a flexible price license."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"Because we're on-premise, it's more complicated to provide access to their own network."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"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."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"The annual support costs are expensive."
"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."
