Offers good integration capabilities and easy to learn and good stability
Nintex is still at the starting point of integrating with AI. It has integrated with a very small piece of artificial intelligence., like only integrated with the Google Cloud. There is a benefit, like a no-code and low-code solution. But, again, if you are a developer, especially if you are a hardcore developer, you are using your code knowledge, its skills, and all. And, suddenly, you are moving into the low-code solution, and then you will feel, like, so many things you can't achieve with the low-code solution. And in that case, you are looking for some custom development. And it's a little bit difficult in the Nintex area. Because they are totally dependent on the low-code solution, and you are looking at where you can implement your custom things. However, you can do that thing, but that will be a difficult task. Also, the outcome, whatever you are trying to get from such kind of custom development, will be a little bit difficult. Let's suppose, like, if you are working with a medium level of data or a small level of data that will be easier to handle with the Nintex. However, the bulk data on a high level of data would be difficult. I have been working with Nintex for the past three years. I've been able to create some really good products in different domains, including banking and insurance. Everything seems achievable, but there are a few things I'm missing. First, debugging can be a bit difficult in Nintex. You can't debug forms and workflows easily. This is something that could be improved in future releases. It requires some R&D. Second, I would like to see more integration with AI. There is some custom integration available through the gateway, but it would be great to have more AI-related features built into the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has integration with BI and Analytics tools, and RPA toolsets as well."
"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."
"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."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."
"The product's primary advantage is its low-code nature which allows for rapid development without extensive coding."
"The technical support is very good."
"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."
"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."
"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."
"We concentrate on the legal industry, such as legal libraries. It's the most structured solution we have used and implemented for five years."
"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes."
"This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository."
"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."
"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."
 

Cons

"I think it was lacking a little bit in its multiple in-house processes and other processes. So there is a little bit of a gap in collaboration."
"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 Workflow Designer needs improvement."
"Unfortunately, Nintex Workflow is not that stable. We are looking at shifting to another tool."
"There is room for improvement in the user experience in the forms."
"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."
"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."
"Integration is an area where the solution lacks."
"The platform's workflows could be more intuitive and easier to use."
"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."
"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."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"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."
"The annual support costs are expensive."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"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."
"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."
"It has a reasonable price."
"On-premises version is expensive"
"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."
"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"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."
