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

"It is more than helpful, it is worth the effort of learning to better our company."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I think Bizagi is a powerful software or tool for organization, but Bonita is user-friendly and easy-to-use — easier to use for development."
"Development of forms and flows."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"It supports SharePoint in the platform, and it's easy to customize to the maximum extent."
"From our perspective, you can save at least thirty percent in terms of time spent on manual processes, and documenting approvals and process flows."
"The integration capabilities have been very useful."
"The capacity to integrate with external platforms. It's great to be able to call web services or other external services."
"It has integration with BI and Analytics tools, and RPA toolsets as well."
"The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good."
"From what was a 20 to 30-day approval cycle, it has now come down to between two and three days for approving loans and claims."
"Its enhanced usability makes it the best of the lot."
 

Cons

"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper."
"I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"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 price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"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 Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"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 initial investment in K2 is heavy. Currently, the expenditure is $28,000 for a year. After we go to the cloud, it is going to be per seat and probably cheaper. Currently, there are unlimited users."
"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."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
