The user interface is easy to use, and the product performs well, but the dashboard and the monitoring features are limited
We use the product to design workflows. We model and install them on the server. We use the Community edition The modeling features are easy. The performance of the tool is good. The user interface is easy to use. I have used the product for complex processes and sub-processes successfully. The…

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

"Bonita is user-friendly."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"Of the three BPM vendors I evaluated, Bonita was the best in creating forms, ease of customization of forms, and versatility of supported platforms, and it is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts."
"Nintex Workflow is user-friendly and saves time"
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"It saves time as tasks are automated."
"The value of this solution is that it's easy to maintain, and to further develop."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"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."
"I like the feature of getting an email for a workflow error, then I do not have to go through every instance."
 

Cons

"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The tool can be limiting when more complex solutions are required. Improving it to offer greater functionality and less reliance on technical expertise could be beneficial."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"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."
"Performance. Some customers ask why K2 is slow?"
"Because Microsoft announced that they will stop supporting Nintex Process Platform and Nintex Process Platform stopped supporting it as well, I will never recommend Nintex Process Platform Workflows or Forms in the near future, but Nintex K2 can be an option."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"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."
"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."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"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."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
