Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Architect at Evoke
A simple and lightweight college course automation system with third-party integrations
The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed with the environment within an hour. First, take the latest from the git repository and check the git code to the monitor studio and a bar file, a deployable Bonita archive file. Then, take that process to the Bonita server, running at runtime on another server. Finally, deploy and enable it by selecting the proper organization.
Hafiz Muhammad Usama - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager Mobility & Digitalization at Fatima group
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.

"The value of this solution is that it's easy to maintain, and to further develop."
"The setup is easy."
"The solution in general is very easy to use, very user-friendly, and it has satisfied the requirements I have."
"The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good."
"Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."

"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."

"We cannot use the same solution on cloud."
"We would like to have access to an on-premises solution. In our country, we have a relationship with Central Bank of Egypt, which do noes not allow cloud solutions to be used. They should offer an on-prem solution with a flexible price license."
