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

"I find it useful to utilize LDAP query action to find out the status of a particular user."
"I really like the visual representation. It actually looks like a flow chart, which is nicer than a SharePoint Designer workflow, which doesn't have that ability."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"The capacity to integrate with external platforms. It's great to be able to call web services or other external services."
"Our solutions using Nintex has been most successful in automating HR processes because it allows you to easily and rapidly build solutions that conform to the unique business processes for each entity."
"The product's primary advantage is its low-code nature which allows for rapid development without extensive coding."
"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."
"Easily maintained and customization is quite simple."
"The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good."
"This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository."
"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 most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search."
"It's all now on cloud subscription, so you can use all the features without worrying about making the system updates patches."
"The product has a strong and easy integration with Teams."
"The fact that you can see and create something that fits your business is the most valuable thing in this platform. It is a customizable product, so it fits your needs."
"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."
 

Cons

"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved."
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"We cannot use the same solution on cloud."
"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"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."
"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."
"The platform's workflows could be more intuitive and easier to use."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"They are not going for any add-ons right now. It's the same version we are still using and there is no plan of upgrading and/or creating any add-ons at all."
"OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."
"The user interface could definitely be improved."
"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."
"The graphical user interface had to be more user-friendly. It's not as intuitive."
"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."
 

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."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"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."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"It has a reasonable price."
"On-premises version is 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."
"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."
"SharePoint uses a subscription 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."
"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
