    ANTstein needs no code or minimal programming. This makes the assigning tasks to bots much easier without wasting time. ANTstein in very useful in performing rule-based tasks. For some tasks and special cases, human assistance is still needed to make decisions.

    Nintex works well for linear processes that have multiple players. It's helpful to capture the triggers for why a process begins and the outputs it creates. It does have a way to link subprocesses. It's not as helpful for processes that are done by a single user (SOPs seem to work better for this) or iterative processes.

    Pros
    AntWorks
    • First: Being accoladed by infomationweek.com as a cognitive tool for machine learning and analytics, challenges repeated tasks to complete within no time, thus called AI based RPA.
    • It understands the category of data and segregates the data into structured and semi-unstructured. Thus, it helps in achieving cognitive tasks in Image and pattern recognition. OCR capabilities make it compete with other RPA in the market.
    • Its business pillars lie in Business Process as a Service (BPAAS) and Technology as a Service (TAAS). I used to integrate Zoho CRM, SugarCRM and FreshSales CRM with YellowAnt bot. Oauth 2.0 and token management play an important role in Antworks.
    • The best part of the Antworks is that they have queenbot™ which makes colonies and give birth to threads to work on different computers and machines to automate a single and repetitive task.

    • Integrations with other services using various secure authentication methods, along with the seamless integration with SharePoint, are the icing on the cake. This makes it superior to other BPM tools available in the market.
    • Flexibility in application development - The diverse configurable properties offer multiple ways to utilise the controls and events, affording the flexibility to expand your scope and enabling the creation and use of processes in a myriad of ways.
    • The streamlined and efficient deployment process significantly accelerates release management, allowing for faster and smoother implementation of updates and new features.
    • The user interface of the pages offers a more refined and appealing look and feel compared to most other BPM tools.

    Cons
    AntWorks
    • The OCR tool can be improved for multiple languages so as to recognize local fonts and for faster processing.
    • Screen scraping is not accurate. Sometimes it shows special characters for unrecognized fonts.
    • Computer Vision and Machine learning could be more accurate with training data and adaptive models.

    • New Responsive Form does not allow to create a custom button anywhere we want. It will be useful to allow to add the button control anywhere within the form that can trigger the click event rule.
    • It will be useful to allow CSS in New Responsive Form.
    • Found HTML Table tag does not work properly in New Responsive Form.
    • More functionalities related to HTML, CSS and JavaScript in New Responsive Form will be very helpful.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    ANTstein is designed to automate the entire business process rather than merely a single
    discrete task. Leveraging fractal networks, rather than neural network technology, ANTstein is able to use relatively small data sets to train the engine thus enabling faster training, testing, deployment and execution of business processes.

    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.

    Mostly we use data scraping tools and then take deep insights from the extracted data. Till now, we were unable to perform automation after scraping the data with the above-mentioned tools. But using ANTworks, we can automate the complete process. Our mainstream work process looks like: Twitter Hashtag extraction > Saving the scraped data to CSV > Importing the CSV in Python > Natural Language Understanding / NLTK in python > Creating pos/neg columns > giving positive and negative insights using analysis.

    Microsoft environment does not have the scalability of Nintex; it is perfect for small and medium-sized companies, especially in environments where Microsoft environment is almost entirely used. Although Microsoft offers options to connect to other applications, its platform lacks the development and robustness that Nintex provides. Nintex not only covers Microsoft environments but also Google and other important platforms.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    AntWorks
    • Positive: Robotics Process Automation with AI and self-learning eases repeated tasks. Even when data structure changes, ANTstein handles by itself
    • Negative: It shoes special characters when input fonts are not available in the system. Sometimes it becomes difficult to handle local language fonts.
    • Positive: Detect text and non-text content in screen scraping, and web scraping with replication accuracy using OCR and Data Scraping.

    • People have woken up to the amount of overlap after mapping their processes.
    • People can be resistant to process changes. You need to have the support from above or support from the 'business' that you are process changing to be able to see the positive impacts.
    • Numbers talk. if you can get a general salary figure from your HR dept to show savings for 'employee bands', then when you present reports, they will be all the richer in data.
