Likelihood to Recommend Nintex is best suited when processes are drawed by the business and then can be furter enhanced by IT professionals. When only used by business units we see that there are some lose ends in processes and some bagic process knowledge is needed. Therefore it is wise that the persons in the business who will use Nintex have some basic knowledge on how to set up business processes
Read full review Oracle BPM is well suited to organizations and environments that have a good understanding of their business processes and organizational structures. Trying to introduce a tool such as Oracle BPM into the organization without a good grasp on how the business operates is a recipe for disaster as the implementation will uncover all of the dirty secrets of an organizations business processes and bring them to light. BPM is not to be utilized for smaller service orchestrations or technical service implementations, these should be handled by the Oracle SOA Suite using the BPEL process manager, leaving BPM to handle the organizational business processes, referring to and including lower level services and BPEL processes as needed.

No limitations in cases raised. Oracle Weblogic can handle multiple traffic. [It] can handle lots of heavy load[s]. Oracle BPM has extensive integration with database[s]. Huge number[s] of customization can be created. Read full review Cons Adding Machine learning features like the "Image and Text Automation" component, which allows bots to extract data from unstructured sources like scanned documents or PDFs. Natural language processing (NLP) features to understand and interpret human language, which can be useful for tasks like customer service or data entry. mostly for middle east countries where Arabic language is used. Integration with external systems where many industries uses their own legacy systems and they need RPA bot to interact with their systems as well. Adding More OCR tools for Document data extraction and dynamic content. Read full review Oracle BPM is left behind by other tools more modern in terms of user experience, usability and ability to integrate with everything else. To really harvest the potential of Oracle BPM you need to do it in JDeveloper and with ADF. This restricts its usage to very technical people. The administration of the Oracle BPM tools has really put a burden on our team. It is running on Weblogic and we experience issues very often either with performance or with a bad configuration of the system. As with all Oracle products, the price can be an issue for smaller shops. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We are currently investigating which collaboration platform best suits our needs. Chances are that we move to SharePoint Online and then we're going to also consider the microsoft power platform (power automate and power apps) to develop forms and workflows. Aspecially the pricing model for the cloud is currently a blocking factor to go for the Nintex solution in the Cloud.
Read full review In many scenarios it should have provided more features. It took a lot of effort while debugging, making it difficult to maintain.
Read full review Usability Based on the on-prem experience with this tool, I believe that they have a lot of potential to help the online version catch up to where the on-prem left off. Nintex developed their online version and it is not as fully formed or capable compared to the on-prem version, and the licensing model scales back what we would have liked to be an expansion or at least continuous improvement of existing flows. It is also not near as user friendly specifically to non-developers and has an uncanny similarity to Microsoft Flow in the online instance. Consistent with my reviews of the tool - I believe they have some good approaches to design thinking that, if translated well from on-prem to online, could make this a clear winner again.

Read full review Reliability and Availability The Nintex Process Platform has never crashed or had any availability issues during my usage. However there was an issue that was of my own making that caused a slowdown of the system. I had set up a process to run once a day and check for employees on a list that had certain parameters selected, and for some reason that I had to troubleshoot, the process instead ran constantly, which filled the cache quickly. I ended up having to dismantle that process so the system didn't crash.
Read full review Performance Unlike any other process automation product out there. Not only is it a low-code, easy to use tool for building processes in environments like SharePoint or Salesforce, they have really started to expand their tool-set by offering tools to manage other things like process mapping, RPA, mobile,etc.
Read full review Support Rating The support team works as fast as they can and they are usually fast to solver the issues. Sometimes they need more time to solve one of them because our workflows and so on are more complex than usual clients.

Read full review Implementation Rating test runs for key persons to insure the system is set up prior to rolling out I think the platform is good, I think the roll out and the local implantations is where we are failing as a company in using Nintex

Read full review Alternatives Considered It's much more reasonably priced and we were able to actually experience the platform for a bit before we made a decision. And by the time our demo was finished we had already started depending on it for some of our processes so it would've been very hard to separate from it
Read full review We evaluated Bonita and found that it might fit a smaller-sized company better; we found that Oracle
BPM Suite scaled much more evenly. We almost went with one of the competitors, but in the end chose Oracle
BPM Suite after we factored in the cost of VMware licensing. There are literally tons of analytics on the back end which are great for upper management, but not so much for average users, but this fits our business model quite well.
Read full review Scalability The scalability is really bottlenecked by the imagination of the user. I was able to make processes for my own personal usage, making my daily tasks easier. I was also able to make processes that affected hundreds of employees, making large standardization and efficiency gains. So either way, the system is used the same way, and I was the limiting factor.
Read full review Return on Investment We have saved our company thousands of dollars by creating our own customer support system rather than using a 3rd party tool. The ability to generate documents/PDFs in workflows has solved a great number of process issues for us and groups who had previously been using paper documents. Automating many permissions updates through workflows has been a huge time saver for repetitive processes. Read full review You'll most certainly need a deep dive and extensive training before your users can even think of using the product and they are very expensive. Lack of documentation makes it very difficult to manage the application if any error is encountered which will result in you ending up hiring a dedicated person to look into the application once it's deployed. For a very large org., if properly implemented and used, it can help identify the cost-intensive and inefficient processes. Read full review ScreenShots Nintex Process Platform Screenshots
