Nintex Makes Process Management Simple
Nintex Promapp is used throughout the organisation. We use it to guide the team on how to do their jobs, induct new employees and to introduce potential clients to the Nintex Promapp platform.
- Easy to Use
- Links to other systems
- Provide useful improvement features
- Limited ability to analyse data
- Lack of an open API

Nintex user from aquaculture industry
We are using Nintex for our procurement centre across the company.
- Easy to use.
- Clear workflow.
- The purchase order workflow will stop for an unknown reason quite often.
- Can not generate the final PO document sometimes.
We are working on automating multiple manual paper-based processes and forms by taking them on SharePoint Online and using Nintex Process Platform's responsive forms and workflows. It significantly reduces the ongoing costs of manually managing these processes end to end.
- Responsive forms are great. Works for multiple devices from anywhere.
- Creating complex state machine workflows are very easy with Nintex Process Platform.
- Integration with 3rd party apps like DocuSign is very simple and straightforward.
- License cost is sometimes expensive if you need to create multiple workflows and forms.
- Limitation on the number of actions in workflow and size of workflow sometimes poses challenges, as then you need to create multiple instances and use multiple licenses.

Workflow & Forms for Grownups
Workflow & forms. Numerous administrative procedures which used to be manual/email/excel/impossible to track, now formalized/defined, streamlined, substantially automated, measurable, traceable, easy for people to understand and undertake, accurate data collection at the outset, signoffs if required, document generation directly [from] the captured data in some cases. Created by ICT dept and also extensively used by one business department.
- Highly configurable/[customizable]
- Extensive workflow capability
- Easy to use - most concepts presented in non-technical terms
- Perfect for a BA to use for data definition/collection/analysis/workflow
- Hide/display rules on forms rather cumbersome
- Need to be able to add comments to workflows
- Printing of workflows: the resulting format is not usable at all
- Responsive forms - not sufficient density - too much white space
- Need ON DELETE trigger!
- Need a better way of implementing smarts within the form (e.g. update fields if a particular value is chosen in another field) than javascript and the JS editing/debugging process is horrible

Nintex Process Platform--great for end-user experience
We used Nintex Process Platform as a workflow for our internal contract approval process. We have a fairly simple process but were running into issues with flexibility when we desired to edit the workflow. We had previously been using SharePoint workflow and had a significant problem when it came to being able to report on current and past workflows.
- Ability to report on workflows
- Options in building processes
- Nice UI
- Support was excellent
- Hawkeye was difficult to set up
- Was never able to get over the learning curve to be able to use Nintex Process Platform in other business areas
- Pricing was somewhat confusing

Nintex boost your on premises sharepoint environment
We use [Nintex Process Platform] to automate many day to day tasks that were used to be made manually like document review, receive payment orders, [remind] our clients to renew their contracts, integrate our CRM with sharepoint documents, etc. It allowed power users to automate their own processes without any coding. Very useful and easy to use.
- Extend sharepoint capabilites
- Integrate with other services
- Aproval process
- Error log
- Resuming error process

Document Management and Forms
Since Lubrizol is a customer of Microsoft Office 365 products, our current direction is to move as much of our SharePoint solutions (custom/OOB) from on-premises to SharePoint Office 365, and we are already building our new stuff in SharePoint O365. Moving to new technology comes with new challenges around automation like document management, archiving, acknowledgment, etc. Nintex Process Platform fits perfectly here. It allows core developers like me to design and develop workflows and forms very effectively so that these automation solutions can get deployed and used across the organization.
- Highly complex automation logic is easy to develop in Nintex Process Platform workflows
- Nintex Process Platform forms are responsive
- Can handle REST API calls to query external processes
- Recovery of deleted workflows in Office 365 is not there
- It is not hard to use, though documentation is thin

Great platform, but feeling pressure from Power Automate
Nintex is used for business process automation across several business units. It is used within a SharePoint Online context. We are in the process of completing migrating workflows from SP 2010 to SPO. Nintex is being used in cases where an existing process was automated with an older version of Nintex. New needs for process automation are being satisfied using Power Automate when possible. But we feel Nintex is often easier to use.
- Ease of use.
- Breadth of actions\conditions.
- Backed by good support and training.
- Enterprise Pricing - not per user or per process.
- An improved "superior position" story in relation to Power Automate.
- Feature parity to Power Automate—I realize this is overly broad
- An easy, robust method to create custom actions.

This assists and saves our user effort to setup SOA, Proposal, Kick Off documentation and also for Approval Notifications Email templates and also helps pull information specific to the project and insert in the document.

- Generate PDF,PPTX,XLS,WORD DOC,EMAIL automation
- Easy to setup and manage the Templates
- User permissions logic which allows us to place approval process
- Can make UI and Templates more Admin Friendly

Encourage actual reading of your processes and improve communication
Nintex Process Platform is being implemented for use across our entire North American region. It is much more user-friendly and intuitive than combing through long documents to find the needed information, and helps connect the dots between lengthy processes as they pass from department to department. It also helps reduce duplication of information across departments.
- Displays detailed information in an easy to understand way.
- Connections between processes are easy to follow and visualize.
- Built-in Glossary of terms to be used across all processes.
- Keeps system/product managers in the loop by including them as stakeholders.
- No ranked searches in Glossary.
- Changes only in content in the notes feature can be hard to see if notes are collapsed.
- No ability to add comments when approving processes for publishing.

Nintex Workflow - your way to digitize business processes
Nintex Workflow for Sharepoint is being used across the whole organization. It is used for building of business processes. For example, approval processes (vacation, purchase, development of new products), documentation, information boards etc. Over time, we are digitizing more and more bureaucratic tasks. We can no longer imagine using Sharepoint without Nintex Workflow.
- It is quite easy to learn.
- It's logical and easy to document.
- It is flexible.
- Starting workflows from a specific location (continuing).
- Debugging.
- Workflow scheduling.
- Integration with Active Directory (Windows Domain).

Nintex is a great solution for no-code forms and workflows.
Nintex Process Platform is our primary e-forms and workflow application used across our company. I have implemented over 50 e-forms and workflows across various teams: HR, Finance, Health and Safety etc.
- Easy to create form solutions.
- Drag and drop workflow creation.
- Able to develop form/workflow solutions for our Intranet (SharePoint Online) using Nintex for O365 or standalone cloud-based forms and workflows using Nintex Workflow Cloud.
- Can quickly improve internal processes by rapidly (within days) replacing manual forms processes with automated e-form and workflows.
- Happy with the platform - no issues.

Workflows gave me my day back!
My organization was able to use Nintex workflows to compress processes that previously took multiple steps (with multiple points of opportunity for human and technical errors) into a single step from a user point of view. Being able to eliminate the possibility of any one step being forgotten or bottlenecked was great. Additionally, the automation allows for the system to function independent of any one employee being at work, eliminating the fear of the "person who knows how it works" to leave and take the functionality with them.
- Easy to pick up, very intuitive
- Scalable for small tasks or large
- Transparent operation if troubleshooting is needed
- If a workflow doesn't work, maybe a button to send the entire workflow to customer service of some sort to debug
- More gui to enhance the drag and drop functionality
- Options to automate purging history of workflows
We struggled with using out-of-the-box new and edit forms in SharePoint Online. Lack of conditional formatting, end user adoption, etc. Implementing Nintex Forms allows us to create a more user-friendly solution with the security trimming and formatting we looked for. Currently we're using Forms firmwide across a variety of solutions: research requests, information gathering, etc.
- Security trimming fields, based on SharePoint user groups.
- Design flexibility.
- Their modern form template doesn't include functionality that older forms offered, like buttons.
- Much of their available training focuses on the older template designer.
- Older template designer is difficult to work in, and end-result "looks" old.

Efficient and Effective Workflows - Never Breaks
We utilise the Nintex Work flow tool to automate the processes within our Case Management Systems on SharePoint. We also use Nintex Forms. Both are used across the organisation.
- What the platform does so well is handling the workflow efficiently and effectively without errors.
- It is very visual, you can view the entire process (as a map).
- An area I'll want to see improvement is the provision of training by Nintex.
- Another area is the engagement with Nintex, we currently have to go through a 3rd party.
- On the product itself, it's ensuring the guides are easy to assimilate e.g. in the rare occasion when a workflow gets stuck.

Nintex workflows with SharePoint services
We use Nintex workflows quite often along with SharePoint services. I feel personally this is helpful to me to built in built process flow within SharePoint sites, libraries and lists.
Majority of the times I used it with InfoPath forms and I see it's more helpful and reliable. I wish to use Nintex forms to replace InfoPath forms, and I see it's more compatible and user friendly using along with Nintex workflows on SharePoint platform.

- Don't really need prior experience to start with.
- I personally believe more automated actions would help.
- Compatibility with automate triggering workflow would help.

Saves me paperwork time!
We use Nintex to generate our proposals and contracts or agreements across a few functions within the organisation, namely sales, client management and marketing.
It helps alleviate manual work, inconsistencies or discrepancies in documentation and meets our objective of meeting audit requirements.

- Flexibility to customise different sets of documents and formats.
- Allows users options to generate the type of document they want.
- Fewer steps to generate one document - we have to click 'download' and 'run document' in order to achieve the same thing.

- Ease of use
- Low code
- Process automation
- Flexibillity

Nintex Transforms Organizations
This is used by our digital transformation team, which is responsible for reducing costs and improving efficiencies through the use of Nintex forms and workflows. Our use case includes inspection forms for maintenance departments, lab workflow, and form engine to support testing, employee gift cards, employee vacation requests, global approval forms, and host of solutions for specific business areas.
- Approvals
- Forms
- Automations
- The ability to pass variables through other workflows such as local vs. site workflows
- The forms should have the ability to display parent and child records such as a relational database.
- Ability to extract information from standard formatted emails
We are using Nintex Workflows (and Forms) in all our internal and external processes: from HR for the annual employee interview, to purchase order but without forgetting sales order approval processes or expert time booking tool.
Based on our Intranet (and Extranet) platform, all users have restricted access to some or all of our applications. We have at least 100 workflows On-Prem, that help users in their daily tasks.
Nintex Workflow has reduced the turnaround time of the purchase order process, with the very appreciated feature "lazy approval."
Our productivity and responsiveness have been improved, and all users are now fully familiar with the Nintex Process Platform.

- Approval workflow.

- Webservices call.
- Active Directory queries.
- Nintex Forms simplicity.
- More integration with External Content Type field.
- API for custom workflow block.
- More specific error log.
The Nintex Platform is used primarily as our "Thank You" letter generator for gift acknowledgements by a single user. I have found its integration with Salesforce cumbersome and the ramp-up time to support it overly complicated. For the Salesforce NPSP, a reduced package streamlining an easy step-by-step letter upload/generator process would be greatly beneficial. Certain aspects are still not compatible with Lightning and cost significant time debugging.
Once up, it works fine. But going back in for modifications makes me take a deep breath. Upgrading to the latest version took days.

- Generates Documents in Bulk
- Incorporates Salesforce Fields
- Support is responsive
- Integration with Salesforce NPSP is overly complicated. Simple interface would be beneficial.
- Upgrade procedure involves way too many intricate steps.
- Interface is archaic as Lightning integration is incomplete.

Vetted Review
Verified User
We intended Nintex to address problems across the board, however, Sharepoint On-Premise product has been neglected since Nintex was acquired and began getting into other products such as 365 and RPA, as well as there’s much more [customization] necessary than advertised. I would not recommend the product if asked.
- I honestly cannot think of three things it does well without custom code.
- Forms need to be more intuitive, too much JavaScript is necessary.
- Still cannot use SQL and web service calls in the mobile app.
- Document generation should be free. Not much value when everything is nickel and dimed.
It is used across the whole organization. It simplifies converting the typical paper-based forms to digital forms easily and route it for different roles involved in the process. Power users are empowered to automate their needs without looking out for some specialists to implement the form or workflow for them.
- Browser based WYSIWYG form designer.
- Lot of actions to suit all needs requirement to model any process.
- Ability to design a complex step as a user-defined action so that it can be used by normal users across the organization.
- Seamless workflow/form design and publish experience.
- For complex form designs, using custom javascript or CSS is not so straight forward. The advanced responsive form is not so flexible for complex requirement needs.
- Large workflows are not so stable and have performance impact. To get around this, rather than one big workflow, multiple smaller workflows to be created which is not so user friendly while looking at the workflow history.
- Lack of support to implement multilingual forms in SharePoint platform.

My Journey through Nintex
It is used to develop in-house forms and workflows through Office 365 with SharePoint. It is used across the org and it helps digitize our intake and workflows. We use it for our project management intake process, to take in new initiatives. Having the customization to add and remove fields, and the ability to set controls to collect them has significantly helped our planning and prioritization process.
- Ease of use
- Pricing
- Ease of maintenance
- Limitations in integration with Microsoft tools.
- Limitations in the new responsive forms.
- Defects introduced in the responsive forms.

Easy To Use and a Better Price Than the Competition
Used by our Sales team to generate contracts and pre fill any available info via Salesforce.
- Easy to train users
- Easy document replacement/updates
- Quick support team
- Direct integration with Salesforce
- UI issues
- Hard to install updates.
- Account security is complicated.
