Flexible in terms of how the UI assists users working in a variety of roles
Our initial setup was complex because we are guaranteed to have approximately two thousand concurrent users. We began first with a couple of servers, then after a couple of years, as we saw that the usage was going up, we grew both horizontally and vertically. We have a pretty big team here, with fifteen huge processes. I would say that from a development perspective, building one complex process will take a couple of developers, and an additional person is required to exclusively handle the support. There are many factors to it. In our organization, we need 24/7 support because we have trade finances that work in the middle of the night. We require additional support to accommodate people working in shifts. If change requests come in then one developer may be able to handle three processes. In the case of a new requirement, there is normally one developer who works with the team leader that is monitoring the entire setup.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of Newgen OmniFlow are the user interface, the low-code no-code designer tools, and the integration models are important."
"They are a good team that is proactive, and they are trying to accommodate all of our requirements."
"The integration capabilities of Newgen OmniFlow are excellent due to its ready APIs, enabling easy API creation for consumption across different systems."
"It is working fine so far. I haven't heard anything bad about it from the applications team that is using it, so I assume that it is doing okay."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."
"Newgen will structure the system based on all the requirements of the business. We can design the forms as complex forms or make our own versions to fix what's wrong."
"The UI is easy. It's not very code based, so you can make certain changes on your end."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Omnicon. That made sense for us because our company is now able to capture information from documents."
"I find it useful to utilize LDAP query action to find out the status of a particular user."
"It is very easy to use."
"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually."
"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 Vizio-style designer that runs in the browser is, to me, by far the most valuable feature of the solution. It means that the customer doesn’t have to install any client tools to create powerful workflows."
"The technical support provided by Nintex is very helpful."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"The setup is easy."
 

Cons

"In terms of stability, like every product it has its issues."
"Improvement is needed in supporting the partner ecosystem."
"I would like to see more automated analytics built into the solution."
"Newgen OmniFlow could improve by having more out-of-the-box integration modules. It would be beneficial to have an analytics model that is not currently present."
"The development teams should be more agile and they need to have more team members."
"There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it. Sometimes, the leadership wants to understand the business cases that we want to automate. We face a lot of challenges to justify why we are using Newgen, and we need a way to present that to the leadership. If there is something out of the box and if we can get meaningful dashboards and reporting capabilities, it would be helpful."
"At the system level, I would like to see things be much more flexible, especially for different document templates and introducing changes."
"We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome."
"The tool can be limiting when more complex solutions are required. Improving it to offer greater functionality and less reliance on technical expertise could be beneficial."
"Difficult to include external partners with the solution deployed on-premise."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently."
"It is very flexible because you can design your own main forms, but if there were some templates according to your market, it would be more useful for a new customer. That would make K2 more user friendly and easier to use."
"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The on-prem solution is affordable. The cloud solution is more expensive. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"The price of Newgen OmniFlow is priced reasonably."
"Its price is a bit on the high side, but that's okay. From a company perspective, it is reasonable."
"Overall, this solution is very cost effective when compared to other solutions in the market."
"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 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."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"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."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
