Pros

Nintex workflows provide a robust interface that's not only intuitive but easy to learn with little to no coding experience.
Nintex forms are particularly powerful and provide a great alternative to InfoPath forms which is being deprecated.
Upgrading between versions of Nintex is easy to do with their nwadmin tool and robust documentation provided on their support portal.
The user adoption rate of their products is extremely high and doesn't require a selling point or an explanation of benefits in converting their existing workflows and forms.

Cons

Forms: Some functionality about validation, or buttons need to be implemented using JAVASCRIPT. It would be welcomed to include more functions in this area.
Forms: The parent-child relationship is another area to improve. Repeating sections don't have the required performance to make a strong relationship between two or more tables (Sharepoint lists).
Workflow: Using an on-premise environment, there is not a good system to manage workflows: versions, insights, purge, etc.

Nintex Process Platform 7.0

Based on 18 answers

Unfortunately, we will not be using Nintex going forward because the experience in on-prem Nintex and SharePoint 2016 is not replicable in Office 365 / SharePoint online. Also, the licensing model is different and would not be cost-effective to scale in the new environment with a lower-functioning version of Nintex (Nintex online is not as robust and user-friendly as the on-prem version). Our parent company assesses capability, licensing models, cost, and security to weigh in on whether a tool can exist in our portfolio. While on-prem Nintex was a great solution for our business when connected to SharePoint 2016, the online version that connects to SharePoint online is feature-weak, in development, and does not march capability forward for us in a meaningful way. The parent operating company has opted to go with Microsoft Flow instead.

Usability

Nintex Process Platform 7.7

Based on 11 answers

Nintex Workflow does exactly what it is advertised to do: make workflow development fast and easy. It doesn't provide very much new functionality, but it isn't really supposed to.When I am working with a client on a SharePoint project, I am always happy if I hear that they use Nintex Workflow, as it makes workflows much easier.

Nintex Process Platform 8.0

Based on 8 answers

I give this a 9 because Nintex overall has been exemplary, except for responsive design forms seem to be a little slow when getting complex.

ProntoForms 10.0

Based on 2 answers

I gave it this rating because honestly, they are one of the best form capturing tools I have used in the business. Many come close but they have not been able to execute what ProntoForms has done.

Alternatives Considered

Nintex WorkFlows seems to be a lot more user friendly, contrast to using SharePoint Designer. I had to spend a lot of time learning SPD and even more time troubleshooting SPD WorkFlows and InfoPath Forms. Though Microsoft offers lots of information on knowledge base (kbs) and "Tech Net" articles that can be an eye sore to read, Nintex has a lot of easy to understand online courses that empower administrators how each action works, WorkFlow terminology and mitigating errors. I appreciate the Nintex online community that also zeros in on troubleshooting when admins are stuck.

We looked for versatility of product and cost effectiveness when trying to choose vendors. Even though the product can be set up by the user or administrator, the more complex parts of the form required help to be done right. Vendors needed to be able to offer their services to get this done in a timely fashion. ProntoForms hit all the marks. We looked at other vendors and they just couldn't replicate or form closely enough.

Scalability

Nintex Process Platform 8.5

Based on 3 answers

This product works well as you scale business processes but there is a point where things become too complex. Administratively it scales fine, number of users is no problem, and since Nintex relies on the build in SharePoint workflow manager, it falls under the same scalability perimeters. Business Process complexity is the limiter for scalability within Nintex.

Return on Investment

Nintex has an ROI report that analysis all workflows in your environment and time spent on developing the workflows . We have paid off our investment in the first 12 months according to this report.
Once you have implemented it, you should probably have more than one person or have plans in place to get more people because the requests will start streaming in.

ROI is significant in areas, like our Request for Quote form, where the tech may be at the customer site, sees a potential opportunity, records it with ProntoForms and that submission goes through the process ending up as a quote, where 70% of them turn into work.
