We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and Nintex Process Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to take a requirement, put it in the code, and deploy it."
"Provides the power to understand and automate processes."
"It's a solid product. It covers most of the pain points for clients."
"Process Modelling, simulation and optimization, integration, UI components."
"Technical support is pleasant to work with and always available."
"The solution is stable."
"The system integration layer is valuable because this enables an organization to create a single point where all the key organizational master data is held in different IT applications across different functions, that can be accessed and updated."
"We made the transformation to agile. Altogether with BPM, it is the total package."
"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."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"The solution helped us automate several processes we used to do manually."
"Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."
"It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design."
"Performance in the development environment space. I know that they have been taking it off the desktop version and putting on the web, and it is not 100% yet."
"From the testing perspective and minor enhancements perspective, customization is something that is a little tedious as compared to new tools. In addition, various open-source tools that are available are not working with IBM BPM."
"Could increase vulnerability and security patches to make it more robust."
"I would like to see the solution be able to interact with other customer software solutions."
"IBM BPM integrated with Spark UI and the UI is now much better, but they still need to improve the UI because competitors have predefined templates and other additional features. In these competitor's solutions, you are able to use the templates, map your data, and the form is ready to use. With this solution, you need to write a lot of code to have the same quality as the competitor's templates. It would be a benefit to make this platform more towards low-code or no-code."
"IBM BPM's price could be improved."
"You must have good experience to work with it. It is not that easy. Its installation is complex, especially in the new version for business automation, and it could be improved. It has a safety application embedded inside it, and you need to do a lot of configuration to install it. I have been working for two days to resolve an issue."
"The constant switch between Eclipse and its web versions can be annoying and confusing."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"We would like to have access to an on-premises solution. In our country, we have a relationship with Central Bank of Egypt, which do noes not allow cloud solutions to be used. They should offer an on-prem solution with a flexible price license."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit. It is just a heavy workflow solution. It doesn't have a supplemental product like RPA. If you want to use RPA, you have to use Blue Prism, UIPath, or something else. If you use Nintex, it has an RPA solution. It is a form-based application, and they are doing everything electronically. The initial investment in K2 is heavy because it is a BPM software. It does not have a low cost because they charge you the same for one workflow or 100 workflows."
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful."
