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

"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."
"The user interface 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."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"Bonita is simple and lightweight and is flexible to integrate with third-party systems. The UI is now flexible, whereas it was previously rigid. Any technology can be used as a frontend, including ReactJS, Angular, and others."
"We were able to meet all of the requirements for functionality that were specified, and we did not experience challenges where we had to compromise on functionality."
"We are using Nintex Workflow for internal reviews between banking groups, and automating the workflow."
"The integration capabilities have been very useful."
"Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."
"I think the initial setup is fine."
"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"The solution in general is very easy to use, very user-friendly, and it has satisfied the requirements I have."
"It is for process automation, and it saves a lot of time and resources."
 

Cons

"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."
"Installation could be made easier. I would like to see more automated processes."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"The solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"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."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"It's very tedious to manage, so they should ensure that everything is integrated and taken care of."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement."
"Performance. Some customers ask why K2 is slow?"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Certainly. Notably, in terms of cost, this solution presents a substantial advantage, being approximately forty percent more economical compared to Oracle. It offers flexibility with two deployment options, catering to both cloud and on-premises preferences. Moreover, within each deployment option, there are two variations available. For organizations with limited IT resources and relying on citizen developers—individuals from the business side comfortable with technology—the platform allows for a more hands-on approach. These users can independently implement solutions without extensive coding or custom development. In contrast, the KQ solution at Symantec is adept at addressing the needs of sectors like banking, where extensive custom development is required for seamless integration with existing applications, websites, and ensuring robust security measures."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"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."
