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.

Enables robust integration capabilities, facilitating seamless connection with various systems and applications
We utilized Oracle BPM to automate various administrative processes within our organization, specifically focusing on eliminating paper-based workflows related to licensing procedures in our environment. Oracle BPM enabled collaboration between our IT and business teams for effective process management. Utilizing the Oracle VPN, we experienced significant improvements in process efficiency. For instance, a process that previously took forty days before implementation was reduced to just twenty minutes after implementing Oracle BPM. This remarkable reduction in time demonstrates the substantial benefits brought about by the solution. The solution is comprehensive, encompassing modeling, implementation, and runtime capabilities. Additionally, by leveraging this platform, we seamlessly integrated Oracle Portal and Oracle Document Management, providing a complete solution within the Oracle ecosystem. The integration capabilities of Oracle BPM with other systems significantly influenced our workflow. Our workflow was impacted positively by these integrations. Initially, we utilized Oracle BPM alongside other Oracle products such as Oracle Context Manager, Oracle Portal, and Oracle Document Management. Despite using multiple products, they are seamlessly integrated, providing a comprehensive solution for our clients. This solution encompassed document management, workflow control, process execution, and automation, effectively streamlining processes and eliminating bureaucratic hurdles. The transparency and efficiency achieved through this integrated approach were highly beneficial for our clients.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides data accuracy with fewer failures."
"It is very easy to use."
"Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"The capacity to integrate with external platforms. It's great to be able to call web services or other external services."
"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually."
"The technical support is very good."
"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."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"It is easy and cheap."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
 

Cons

"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement"
"​Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting.​"
"Difficult to include external partners with the solution deployed on-premise."
"Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
"It's very tedious to manage."
"We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"Oracle BPM could probably be improved with respect to the cost. When you are using this product, it'll be a bit costlier for the ROA. I think they should do some discounts on these products, especially for the licenses."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart."
"From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The annual support costs are expensive."
"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."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"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."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"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."
"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."
"The pricing is significantly high, particularly for Brazil where fluctuations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the real can further increase the cost of Oracle licenses."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"I don't have information on the exact cost of Oracle BPM because a different team handles that, but it's pretty high. Oracle products are very costly. I would rate pricing for Oracle BPM three out of five. Though the pricing is high, the solution has a lot of features."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
