Nintex Platform in Latin America
We use Nintex Platform to automate process, especially HR processes. For example, we use it for leave requests, trips requests, onboarding requests, etc. Even other areas in addition to IT are using Nintex to automate their own processes, taking advantage of its ease-of-use. Besides that, we can have mobile apps for iOS and Android in just a few extra clicks.
- Easy to use

- Easy to automate processes--drag-and-drop system eases work for everyone
- An easy way to migrate from on-premises to cloud

Nintex Review
We are using Nintex Platform for a few departments, but mainly for our Claims department. While we build-out a portal for Claims we are using Nintex to develop, and manage, workflows for Claims.
- It has a lot of integration available.
- It's pretty robust as far as the workflows it can create.
- Some of the features in the cloud version are not available in the Office 365 version.

AssureSign seems great if you are a huge company. Not so much for the small business owners.
I have only used assuring on the user end to sign contracts from others. I have not used it to send out my own contracts because the software is way too expensive for a small business owner. There are many different eSign apps out there. AssureSign seems to be the one that my copyright lawyer uses.
- Makes document signing much easier to do as opposed to the old fashioned way of signing a paper doc and mailing it back.
- You don't have to sign up for AssureSign to sign a contract.
- It is way too expensive for a small business to use.
- I can't figure out how to find a contract I signed on their website. I think that if you don't save a copy to your own computer, you lose it.

Review of Nintex Workflows and Forms Platform
Nintex is being used organization-wide for various business process automation scenarios.
The business problems it addresses include:
- Missed schedules due to no reminders.
- Keying in similar data month after month for certain business processes.
- Missed emails for manual approvals.
- Delays in certain approval processes due to paper forms and manual processing.
- Business process automation
- Ability for business users to create simple workflows themselves.
- Previous values of list columns should be available inside the workflows too, instead of just as starting conditions.
- Error handling is sometimes not clear enough, can be made more robust.

Nintex: a solution for your digitalization
We use it as an approval solution to improve our workflows and business-related processes. The approval of mandatory HR processes are rebuilt without any paper usage in the Nintex workflow engine. The Nintex forms that we are using are already checking for the needed information. Also, the connection with SAP is improving these processes.
- User handling

Nintex Platform's Efficient Product
Nintex Platform is used business wide alongside SharePoint. We use it in many lists with Nintex Platform forms, and we use Nintex Platform workflows to automate manual processes. We have hundreds of workflows and many forms. Nintex Platform has been instrumental in aiding different business departments to become more efficient and enable resources to be used in a more productive manner.
- Nintex Platform forms allow for a modern, user friendly experience with the ability to hide and show fields as needed.
- Nintex Platform workflows enable manual processes to become automated with one or several steps.
- Nintex Platform responsive design needs to allow for code.
- Nintex Platform responsive design tends to slow down after several minutes of use, or the form becomes long.

Nintex is being leveraged to help our company strategically yo map our processes in a more streamlined and organized manner so that we can digitize our processes. Primarily Nintex is being used in our Professional Services department, which allows our PS team to focus on delivering smooth and timely implementations to our clients. Additionally, PS is also able to promote transparency into their processes for other departments such as Sales to track key client implementations. Nintex is a powerful platform that is easy to use to digitally transforming your organization.
- Digitally map your business processes.
- Nintex promotes key cultural drivers such as transparency, collaboration, and autonomy.
- I would like for Nintex to have a storage component for our data.
- Deeper integration with core systems such as ERPs and HCMs.

Nintex Workflow and Forms
We use Nintex Platform's Workflow and Forms extensions on our SharePoint web applications serving almost 150,000 active users monthly. Nintex is recommended as a first choice to automate user processes on our platform. Users appreciate that it is quite easy to use and that they are able to create complex workflows after only a few days of exploring and using it.
- Process automation
- Work with external sources
- IT cannot check every workflow, and a single workflow can kill the whole SQL instance
- Long-term issues with Nintex Workflow Designer (slowness)

Nintex Platform Review
Nintex Platform is being used across the whole organization. It addresses several workflow automations related with document approvals.
- Workflow automation
- Connection to several data sources
- Cloud connections, on premise product cannot connect to Sharepoint online
- Expensive cloud licensing

Still thinking about it, but optimistic!
Nintex Platform is being used as a request submission vehicle for data capture and automated approvals across all departments. It enables all request handling to be managed and the stats to be reported on response times, etc. One application is where anyone in the company that needs a contract for goods or services has to request it via the Nintex form.
- The form design is quick and relatively simple to use.
- The ability to view data on the site and report stats on selected data points
- Speed: Slowness to load a form and for the workflow statuses to change
- It would be great to have a wizard to build workflows (e.g., type of actions: approve, reject, or return for revisions?).

Nintex 2013 On Premises
We use Nintex Platform for business logic for centrally developed business applications. It's not used for citizen developers.
- Good range of workflow actions
- Good technical support
- Complex workflows are difficult to build
- Handling and managing failures is difficult

Promapp review
For our own, it is with the firm. For our clients, we are still pitching it but clients are seeing the benefit of having it. For us, we are a consulting firm that focuses on automation. Process mapping is important prior to any implementation and the use of a tool such as Promapp helps to align all stakeholders and those involved in the projects on the final business process to be implemented.
- Easy to use
- Clear capturing of the information that can be readily shared.
- Allowed for dissemination of information to various stakeholders.
- Perhaps starting price can be lowered with lesser processes.
- Available for on-premise options for some clients (though pricing can still be subscription model).
- Perhaps this is something that we are not aware but can the printing of the process be configurable for white labeling?

The unvarnished opinion
We use the workflow engine and forms for several processes. One of our major processes is for the request and approval of secure access to our ERP. The form allows users to request access ad based on their choices, the form gets routed through different workflows to get access. Another use we have is with archiving old list items (automatically moving from one list to another).
- Branching logic in forms - This allows for a single form to cover related processes depending on choices made in the form.
- Seamless integration with Office 365, allowing us to drive actions in the workflow based on item changes in SharePoint Online
- The fact that it uses a separate service to offload the processing power instead of having to provide it as part of our organization.
- The new licensing structure can be confusing.
- The workflow canvas can get unwieldy to use as the workflow steps and branches expand.
- More builtin connections to more 3rd party services for data.

Great platform for workflow automation
The Nintex Platform is being used in our organization for automating business processes across the entire organization that previously relied on paper. Using Nintex for automating our business processes has provided a lot of visibility into the process for the business users. For example, when a request that required multiple approvals was previously submitted, the requester had no idea where their request was at. Using Nintex they are always able to see exactly where the request is at in the approval process.
- Account provisioning.
- Approvals.
- Data collection.
- Deployment between development, test, and production environments.
- Restarting workflows that have failed.
- Workflows failing silently when trying to send notifications to users that are no longer at the company.

Great for providing end-user ownership of Business Process Models and Continuous Improvement
As a reseller, we work with clients to identify their business needs - Promapp provides the perfect solution for organisations who require business buy-in for their process maps, and identification of potential automation activities. This ties in nicely with the rest of the Nintex Suite to provide a single-source solution within Microsoft SharePoint/Office 365 or across their framework of business information systems.
- Promapp provides a clear understanding of end-to-end processes for business users to ensure buy-in and ongoing maintenance.
- Promapp allows users and SMEs to identify improvements and opportunities for automation to ensure that business operations can run as efficiently as possible.
- Nintex Workflows allow for automated back-end review processes to be undertaken with limited overhead of users needing to track where things are at at any given time.
- Promapp's biggest strength in business user design is its biggest weakness in some organisations who prefer standardised process mapping (BPMN2.0), or who are used to seeing everything detailed in a single view. It would be useful to be able to provide a view that outlines all of the activities 'on a single page' for more experienced process analysts.

It works, but can be tricky for small teams with limited IT expertise
Nintex Document Generation allowed us to merge contact information into letters with only a few clicks. This was a great tool when preparing donor thank you letters and tax receipts. We didn't have to worry about typos due to manual manipulation because we knew our template was correct and the contact information in Salesforce was correct which saved us a lot of time and stress.
- Ability to use multiple templates and attachments with ease
- Automatically can save new documents as word doc or pdf or both
- Tons of merge tags let you incorporate almost any data automatically into your new documents
- Setting up a new document generator can be a little clunky
- Steep learning curve
- All of the options/customizations/capabilities can be a little overwhelming
The output of Nintex-powered workflows is being used by our whole organization, but only a small handful of people actually use the Nintex administration interface. It is primarily used to orchestrate workflows from SharePoint lists and inform department reps of internal changes and staff onboarding.
- Visual Visio-like workflow designs.
- Dynamic email generation.
- SharePoint list integration.
- The web-based interface for designing workflows is extremely slow, and often unresponsive.
- Formatting of emails in the WYSIWYG GUI is very difficult. Copy/pasting doesn't work as one would expect, and I often find myself having to edit the raw HTML in order to suss out why certain objects are formatted the way they are.
- Error reporting on why a particular workflow has failed is incredibly difficult to decipher.
We use Nintex Promapp across our entire business. It provides us with a single repository for storing process information that is intuitive enough for the business to update themselves.
- Intuitive interface that makes process creation and updating a breeze for non-technical staff
- Constantly being updated with new features and improvements
- It provides a risk management module as well
- No real weaknesses come to mind

Nintex works well at our fire department
I work for the Fire Dept. Other departments in the city also use the platform. We use it a lot for notification/approval of actions. For instance, if a firefighter desires a vacation day, the enter the request on a Nintex form and workflow is initiated when the form is submitted. The request goes to those authorized to grant the vacation day and record.
- Approve/reject requests - form is auto-created. Workflow build is fast.
- Email notifications - simple and fast.
- Reminders for approval - easy to set up and insures action as required.
- Getting the name of the responder to an assigned task is cumbersome. Requires strong extraction from string variable as opposed to just reading the name.
- Determining if a particular document entry is the first or not is fairly complicated. You have to query the list, loop and add to the collection and then count items in the collection to determine how many entries have been made.

Best Low Code Automation Platform
We use Nintex to automate everything from employee on-boarding, to collecting e-signatures as part of a sales process for employee recognition. We also connect Nintex to other devices like IoT devices to track data provided from the devices. The mobile aspect is top-notch as well because I can disperse online forms or the whole organization without writing a piece of code.
- Mimic enterprise business logic.
- Document generation.
- Makes it easy to build workflows and forms.
- Drag and drop designer.
- Some workflow actions could be more robust.
- Data connections to other systems.

Nintex Platform provide forms and workflow for approvals
We use the Nintex Platform for Forms and Workflow across the entire organization. The primary business problem we are solving is the approval process for requests submitted with a form.
- Contractor approval process.
- Visitor registration.
- Pay increase authorization and approval.
- Camera authorization and approval.
- SQL control only return one value, rather than a table which could be queried after only one call to the database.
- In some cases we have to use JavaScript to accomplish seemingly simple validations that should be an option in the control.
- It needs an easier way to handle the user ID field that returns back as “i:o#.w|DOMAIN\username.”

Tales of Nintex
Nintex is used across various departments in the organization. It is used to automate business processes and the ability to run weekly scheduled notifications/reminders. We use Nintex to review documents, route documents, perform approvals, receive and approve user access requests, help desk tickets and perform submittal reviews. It is also used to plan tasks and assign action items for employees.
- Scheduled workflows and reminders work seamlessly. On a weekly basis, we have several of these workflows running without glitches
- Our help desk ticketing workflow and form used to assign, and resolve tickets works.
- We create document review workflows, by copying documents from one subsite to another subsite to maintain discretion in reviews and permissions, while keeping the link between the 2 libraries/documents on different subsites in order to respond back appropriately.
- Action Items workflow and form. This workflow is used by upper management to assign tasks with deadlines, ability to reassign, complete and close out the assignment. This allows us to track metrics for reporting purposes as well and the form allows us to lock down fields per status.
- The biggest drawback with Nintex online platform is lack of error handling and notification on suspended or failed workflows, even with Hawk-Eye it is not very helpful since it is not integrated.
- The lack of versioning in workflows limits the ability to revert back to previous working versions during development, even with the export functionality it is not always viable.
- The online environment does get unstable at times, there have been times where accessing and publishing forms and workflows been major issues.
- One missing functionality that is in other similar products is the ability to make views visible based on assigned tasks.

Big Money and Big Value
We use Nintex to automate business processes related to project controls through Workflows and Forms.
- Visual.
- Integrated.
- Extensible.
- No error handling in SharePoint 0nline.
- Slow Form rendering.
- No bulk processing options.
Nintext can be leveraged across the entire organization as a productivity enhancement tool to create workflows. The tool is given to the Lines of Business to self administer. The problem it resolved was how LOBs can create simple workflow programs by themselves.
- It's simple to install and sustain on the SharePoint platform.
- The workflows are simple to document and follow once created. Users can just follow the start trigger to the end.
- It's priced well compared to enterprise tools.
- End-users can create triggers that create endless triggers so it is powerful, but we would like the ability to limit the number of triggers if coded wrong.
