Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model.""I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important.""The interface and the number of connectors that they provide are the most valuable features. The support here, it's kind of okay. But the main thing is with the number of connectors and the UI, the user interface.""The product has a good task management engine.""The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN.""It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen.""Its flexibility stands out as the most valuable feature.""Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."

"It's easy to learn. However, there is very little content available for the Nintex also, but they are providing their own documentation and all. So, it's easy to learn also.""The solution has helped us to automate our business processes, our approval systems, and automation for quickly developing on SharePoint on-prem and SharePoint online.""The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good.""This tool is really helpful in reducing a lot of manual work. Its drag and drop components help to create a workflow faster than SharePoint Workflow Designer.""With an extensive list of integrations with LOB data, your workflows can extend far beyond SharePoint, driving adoption of SharePoint.""It leverages the out-of-the-box SharePoint back-end. This means that you don’t need to install or deploy additional infrastructure to support Nintex Workflow, unlike some of its competitors.""It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools.""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."

Cons
"There are a few things that I'm missing. For instance, the user interface creator, which I know other systems have, like Aurea or Lombardi, which are IBM solutions. The interface creator, including the data model creator or some module which would allow the users who are not programmers or business consultants and who are not technically skilled in database and Java programming, to create data models and user interfaces.""Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement.""The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options.""The business model could be easier to understand.""I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack.""It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers.""I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist.""The product's initial setup phase is difficult for beginners."

More Camunda Cons →

"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general.""The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper.""User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful.""​Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting.​""It's very tedious to manage.""The solution needs more RPA and AI features.""The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow.""Currently, a notable challenge lies in the alignment of user experiences across the eight or nine applications within the suite. Transitioning between applications can be somewhat cumbersome due to varying user interfaces. However, the provider is actively addressing this concern by consistently rolling out updates every four to five months, aimed at harmonizing and streamlining the interfaces. This ongoing effort is expected to enhance the user experience over time. In terms of functionality and features, the platform stands out, offering flexibility with the option for both on-premises and cloud deployment. This flexibility extends to the RPA tool, providing clients with choices tailored to their preferences. An advantage lies in the shared security and data infrastructure across the toolset, facilitating smooth data transfer between applications. This contrasts with experiences with Oracle, where data transfer may involve complexities such as the need for intermediary file formats like TXL or SCZ."

  • More Camunda Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
  • "Our maintenance costs are reduced."
  • "The annual support costs are expensive."
  • "Comparatively, it's expensive."
  • "We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
  • "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."
  • "There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
