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

"Out of box connectivity with UiPath."
"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."
"It has a lot of features for creating and managing workflows, as well as for integrating with other applications. Nintex offers features, particularly to ensure a user-friendly experience."
"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."
"The integration capabilities have been very useful."
"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 technical support provided by Nintex is very helpful."
"It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText 360 for SharePoint is its performance. The solution is one of the best in the market if you search the internet."
"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."
"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."
"This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository."
"The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search."
"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."
"The product has a strong and easy integration with Teams."
"We concentrate on the legal industry, such as legal libraries. It's the most structured solution we have used and implemented for five years."
 

Cons

"The user interface in Nintex needs improvement. It is not very intuitive and requires changes."
"Nintex seems to be very server intensive. It is one of the reasons that we are moving to a different product on the SharePoint 2016 platform."
"The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the user experience in the forms."
"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."
"The platform's workflows could be more intuitive and easier to use."
"Integration is an area where the solution lacks."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"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."
"The user interface could definitely 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."
"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/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."
"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 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."
"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."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"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 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."
"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
"It has a reasonable price."
"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."
"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"On-premises version is expensive"
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
