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

"K2 is reasonably priced."

"I think the initial setup is fine."

"The workflow engine of K2 is its main strength. Its workflow engine is probably one of the best, and that's the reason why Nintex bought K2. It can clearly handle any complex process or scenario. K2 is almost low-code. It is a no-code or low-code solution. You don't have to read a whole lot of code. It is pretty much GUI based. Their support is also excellent. The biggest advantage of K2 is SmartObjects, which allow you to separate the data from the application. It is a standalone application that allows you to build a data source from different places, which a lot of other applications also do. It is called SmartObjects technology, which is pretty powerful. If I have data from different applications, such as JD and ServiceNow, I can just create a SmartObject based on a data source and use it. I have some forms that have six, seven, or eight applications in a single form with data from different places."

"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."

"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 strength of this solution lies in its connectors and the accessibility of an open API. The presence of an open API allows users to create custom connectors if necessary, provided there is access to the source API documentation. Additionally, the platform features a straightforward yet highly effective forms tool. This tool not only seamlessly integrates with the workflow functionality but also facilitates the transmission of information to the document generation tool. This comprehensive integration is particularly noteworthy when compared to alternatives such as Oracle, which tends to rely on more complex and separate logic for similar functionalities. A key strength of Nintex lies in its user-centric approach to help documentation. The materials are designed to be easily understood, avoiding complex terminology. In cases where technical terms are used, they are linked to articles for further clarification. This contrasts with platforms like Microsoft and Oracle, which may employ technical jargon without clear explanations. Nintex further supports its users through a robust online community, fostering collaboration and shared insights. Additionally, Nintex University offers online training across all applications, following a role-based structure. Unlike some other platforms, Nintex's training is thoughtfully broken down into shorter courses, focused on specific roles. This approach ensures that users can efficiently access the information they need without navigating through extensive and potentially irrelevant content, as may be the case with Oracle's training structure."

"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."

"This tool set makes it easy to integrate current processes and increase adoption rates and usage for the tool, as well as the process changes to update it on the fly."

More Nintex Process Platform pros

"The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search."

"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."

"In terms of its most valuable features, this solution, in general, will provide all you need and it's very convenient to use. We can share our details to collaborative platforms. We can give access to users. It's pretty flexible."

"The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good."

"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes."

"We concentrate on the legal industry, such as legal libraries. It's the most structured solution we have used and implemented for five years."

"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."

"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."

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."

"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."

"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."

"While Nintex Workflow has pretty robust troubleshooting abilities, I think that improving the default logging and notifications would be helpful."

"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."

"At times, issues arise in certain scenarios. In such cases, the versioning can become quite difficult. There may be no other way but to restart the entire process or rectify it at that point."

"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."

More Nintex Process Platform cons

"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."

"An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to be improved."

"If I have to really create an internal knowledge management portal, if I have to compare SharePoint and WordPress, WordPress is far, far better in regard to the SharePoint option."

"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."

"Integration is an area where the solution lacks."

"Its licensing needs to be simplified. Currently, its licensing is very complex. It contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify the licensing and make it easier to understand. It would make a customer's life easier."

"OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."

"I would like for there to be even more integrations in the next release and I believe that the price could go down a bit."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"This solution is affordable and is cheaper than most alternatives on the market. We have a standard cloud license that costs about 20k per year."

"The price of this solution is affordable but the problem in Algeria is our community is a bit slower. The new clients might feel the solution is a bit expensive."

"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."

"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."

"Our maintenance costs are reduced."

"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."

"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."

More Nintex Process Platform pricing and cost advice

"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."

"The solution has a very complex pricing model."

"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."

"On-premises version is expensive"

"It has a reasonable price."

"SharePoint uses a subscription model."

"Its price is reasonable, but its licensing is very complex. This platform contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify its licensing."

"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
