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

"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"Development of forms and flows."
"It supports SharePoint in the platform, and it's easy to customize to the maximum extent."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email.​"
"This is a very good solution, and our client is very happy with it."
"This tool is really helpful in reducing a lot of manual work, and its drag and drop components help to create a workflow faster than SharePoint Workflow Designer."
"The support is great; I found the support to be excellent with immediate responses whenever I open a ticket."
"It is for process automation, and it saves a lot of time and resources."
"It is a scalable product."
"Being able to simply create workflows to handle business processes allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"Installation could be made easier. I would like to see more automated processes."
"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"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."
"​Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting.​"
"We cannot use the same solution on cloud, and we have to purchase it all over again to get it on cloud."
"It didn't calculate the designs I needed."
"I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"Currently, a notable challenge lies in the alignment of user experiences across the eight or nine applications within the suite. Transitioning between applications can be somewhat cumbersome due to varying user interfaces. However, the provider is actively addressing this concern by consistently rolling out updates every four to five months, aimed at harmonizing and streamlining the interfaces. This ongoing effort is expected to enhance the user experience over time. In terms of functionality and features, the platform stands out, offering flexibility with the option for both on-premises and cloud deployment. This flexibility extends to the RPA tool, providing clients with choices tailored to their preferences. An advantage lies in the shared security and data infrastructure across the toolset, facilitating smooth data transfer between applications. This contrasts with experiences with Oracle, where data transfer may involve complexities such as the need for intermediary file formats like TXL or SCZ."
"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

"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"The annual support costs are expensive."
"The price of this solution is affordable but the problem in Algeria is our community is a bit slower. The new clients might feel the solution is a bit expensive."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"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."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
