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

"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"It saves time as tasks are automated."
"Provides the ability to automate SharePoint processes (building sites, lists, updating content). You can also automate document and content processes, onboarding and offboarding, and general IT and HR solutions."
"I find it useful to utilize LDAP query action to find out the status of a particular user."
"The technical support is very good."
"Out of box connectivity with UiPath."
"The value of this solution is that it's easy to maintain, and to further develop."
"From our perspective, you can save at least thirty percent in terms of time spent on manual processes, and documenting approvals and process flows."
"NWC forms could be better. Also, the ability to build workflows that are not dependent on SharePoint is very desirable. The forms feature just isn’t as functional as the forms for SharePoint."
 

Cons

"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"There is room for improvement in the user experience in the forms."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"The solution needs more RPA and AI features."
"It's very tedious to manage."
"The solution is heavy and cumbersome and it has a very stringent way of doing things."
"Nintex seems to be very server intensive. It is one of the reasons that we are moving to a different product on the SharePoint 2016 platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"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 product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The annual support costs are expensive."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"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."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"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."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
