Facilitates task management with effective approval processes and modern integration capabilities
It facilitates processes by sending notifications to relevant individuals who need to take action regarding requests. There is a very good approval hierarchy in place. Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests. It is also easy to integrate with many other tools, like Nintex and Azure DevOps, using APIs.
Damilola Adeleye - PeerSpot reviewer
Straightforward interface and user-friendly
There are a lot of apps in K2, but what I really found that needs improvement is the management section of K2, especially the management server and the admin page where you can manage processes, add users, set security fees, and add licenses. The reason for this is because the part that is the section of administration, particularly the management called rows, has multiple rules, as many as you want. For instance, you may have around 200 rules, and when you view them, only the first ten are displayed, and you have to click next to see the next ten and so on until you get to the hundredth rule. On that page, as of today, we only have what we call to fetch, where you can search for a particular rule you're looking for, or else you have to keep clicking until you get to the final page you want. So that's a bit challenging.

Pros

"Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests."
"It's easy for the IT admins at the company to use. It isn't hard to understand and there are lots of features you can use out of the box. If a feature isn't available in Ivanti Automation, you can always script it."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Automation is the opportunity to use more or less any kind of scripting software."
"There is a very good approval hierarchy in place."
"K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding."
"The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good."
"The product's primary advantage is its low-code nature which allows for rapid development without extensive coding."
"K2 is reasonably priced."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"It provides data accuracy with fewer failures."
"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."
"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

"Ivanti Automation should deliver more fixed templates for standard use cases or standard procedures."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
"Their cloud relay feature needs to improve to compete with other products in cloud solutions like Azure and AWS. It should be easier to deploy or provision images in the cloud with Ivanti Automation. Better Azure integration would also help."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"The user interface in Nintex needs improvement. It is not very intuitive and requires changes."
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"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."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"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."
"​Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting.​"
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
"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."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
