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, and the features are useful."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"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."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"Our lead generation system involves both automated and human tasks. By centralizing the workflow to our internal Bonita BPM system, we have improved the conversion rate (leads to customers) and lowered the number of leads dropped."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"It provides data accuracy with fewer failures."
"If you need to integrate into anything, K2 is very useful."
"It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper."
"It is very easy to use."
"As a Solutions Architect my role is to help my clients implement tools and technology that can build and automate their businesses."
"I think the initial setup is fine."
"The customer service and support team are good, the premium support is good, and their response is fast."
"The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good."
 

Cons

"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement."
"It's very tedious to manage."
"We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution."
"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."
"I think it was lacking a little bit in its multiple in-house processes and other processes. So there is a little bit of a gap in collaboration."
"It is very flexible because you can design your own main forms, but if there were some templates according to your market, it would be more useful for a new customer. That would make K2 more user friendly and easier to use."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"The solution needs more RPA and AI features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"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."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"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."
"The annual support costs are expensive."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
