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

"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"Customer Service: Very good, also the commercial team !Technical Support: Perfect ! and the community is a great help also"
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."
"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."
"With Bonita BPM, you can run the process (as it will in the final stage) immediately after the design stage, giving you 100% control over the quality of your processes and flows."
"This solution is very easy to use and customize, using almost zero coding, and because it's built on SharePoint which many companies in our country have experience with, it was easy to adapt the application in our environment."
"The product's primary advantage is its low-code nature which allows for rapid development without extensive coding."
"Its enhanced usability makes it the best of the lot."
"It is a scalable product."
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"The technical support provided by Nintex is very helpful."
"The capacity to integrate with external platforms. It's great to be able to call web services or other external services."
"Being able to simply create workflows to handle business processes allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."
 

Cons

"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"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."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit."
"I have used Pega and I feel that it offers more than the K2 solution, in terms of the latest technology."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement."
"We had issues with long-running workflows for approval processes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and 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."
"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."
"Nintex products are expensive, but valuable. Licensing in on-premise was historically based on a perpetual model, where you’d license per Web front-end. However, they are switching exclusively to a consumption (subscription) model, where you purchase the number of workflows you think you’ll use in your environment, and can scale up from there."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"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."
"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."
