Nintex Platform vs SharePoint Designer

• 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.

• Allows ease and flexibility of creating custom workflows specific to the business needs. Emails can be configured to easily be sent based on specific conditions, and the inclusion of workflow variables allows increased functionality.
• It gives a quick interface to add, edit, and remove site pages as well as the ability to edit list item pages creating a custom look and feel for every business need and increasing the functionality of SharePoint lists.
• Allows a nicer user interface for the additions and management of the external content types linked to the specific sites.

• 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.

• Navigation between sub-sites and beyond the entry point is not seamless. I find it difficult to get to the root of a directory structure if I have not started there.
• Would love to be able to do WYSIWYG in some form. I have only used it for a year but I have not found anything fancy to do.
• I would like to be able to work in a development site and easily move to the production site.

• 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.

• Positive impact: End users love the custom look of their sites after I have used Designer to spice it up a bit.
• Negative impact: Other end users now want *their* sites to be spiced up similarly. More work for my team is a good thing, but each time I work in Designer, I am afraid that I am adding another impediment to our eventual upgrade to 2013.
