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

SharePoint 2013. Not sure if the organization is going to invest in Nintex solutions for the 365 environment - might be expecting us to use PowerApps only. If by "deployment flexibility" we mean the use cases, then there is 100% flexibility and that is the reason we like the product set.
Yes, non-IT people can get their heads around workflow easily, especially the way it is implemented in Nintex (plain English, good graphics, all the fiddly stuff that non-IT people won't know about is already handled, etc). Whereas Flow is almost impenetrable to the average person.
[The] main thing is that it ENCOURAGES the business to automate because it's so easy to give the business something that does 95% of what they want, that they are happy to ask for the next process to be tackled.
It is easy and quick to prepare a proof of concept that helps the users understand what's possible, so then they can engage and provide their input into the next [interaction].
From the users outlining their problem statement, we can often get back to them within a couple of days with an example of what's possible. They are usually keen to get something going with 95% of requirements covered, and not have to go to IT to get something programmed, so we can often have them running with the solution within a fortnight.
Microsoft's SharePoint 2013 workflow has a number of shortcomings that Nintex Workflow just deals with effortlessly. The Nintex tools seem to be built by people who understand how [to] process stuff is done properly, whereas the MS tools are comprehensive but seem to be written by & for programmers. For 365, PowerApps seem to be taking over the world, and not having PowerApps on your CV is a problem.
- no training
I bought an old fashioned book for Workflow, and followed my nose for forms. I have done process/data schema/form design for years so already knew all the concepts, but not how to do them in the products. The workflow tool is so well designed that it is fairly easy to pickup.

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

My current usage of the Nintex Process Platform is integrated into a Sharepoint system that my company uses to build team resources and homepage. In a call-center environment, we often have lists of questions to ask in a diverging branch design, where the answer to the previous question dictates which question to ask next. Nintex allow me to create forms that alter their questions in real time, shifting the questions yet to fill out based on the answers to answers already submitted. This real time flexibility allows for more targeted responses without bombarding people with white noise of questions that are not relevant to their individual inquiries and needs.
Another situation the Nintex Process Platform is used is in employee training tracking. We have a list of all our employees, and due to staggered hiring dates, often they are at different stages of training. Nintex allows us to build processes to track their progress and alert us of upcoming milestones, so that we can update their system access accordingly.
Currently the Nintex Process Platform is available to anyone in our organization who manages a Sharepoint site, which is quite a lot of non-IT people. Supervisors need only ask for access to be granted a portion of our servers to build their own digital playgrounds. A quick tutorial in both SharePoint and the Nintex Process Platform is necessary to get them up to speed, especially those who learned previous versions (a recent update is somewhat different from the previous version). It's almost easier to learn the new system from scratch than to approach it with habits built from using previous versions. However it's not very "code-heavy" so non-IT people can pick it up relatively quickly.
Unfortunately I have not used other products that are similar to Nintex Process Platforms so it's impossible for me to compare it to any competitors. Not necessarily because of a lack of experience, but because Nintex has thus far continued to not only meet our current needs, but prove feature-rich enough to grow along with us as our needs evolve. We've had no need to search for an alternative as of yet.

To my knowledge, Nintex Process platform is mostly utilized by the leadership team in my organization. We are very large so there might be sections that I have no line of sight in, but the functionality of Nintex PP is utilized in our call centers to automate certain administrative tasks, which allows our agents to be on the phones longer and have quicker access to relevant and necessary information.

There might be more, but I attend a monthly meeting where anyone who has questions regarding Nintex Process Platform or SharePoint can bring them before a handful of subject matter experts. If there is an urgent issue that cannot wait for this reoccurring meeting, we can outreach to the meeting leaders, of which there are about 4 people to chose from.
- Automating repetitive tasks
- Running reoccurring reports based on certain data thresholds
- Compressing complicated, multi-step processes into a single button click
- Checking the current date daily, and when the current date matches the date representing 3 months after initial hire, automatically emailing workforce management to alert them that the 90 day training period had completed
- Being able to manage PTO requests, informing leaders of PTO requests and automatically approving or rejecting time off if the system finds too many other employees are already off that day
- Similar to the above issue but regarding training, being able to manage agent schedules and call center volume needs while planning for offline training sessions.

I feel the Nintex Process Platform was moderately easy to learn without formal training. A quick Google search to learn what functions the system can offer lets anyone with an imagination think of ways to apply those functions to their company and workflows. After that, a few YouTube videos on the specifics can get you where you need to be.
This is somewhat beyond my personal experience with the Nintex Process Platform.

Nintex--A robust business process management solution
Nintex Platform solves issues of pre-onboarding prospects, onboarding clients, and day to day client services. It assists in moving away from all email communication to more communication through Slack and Salesforce. It has helped us to automate business processes and has helped users to be productive even while out of the office. It is user-friendly to create forms that can be available on desktops and mobile devices.
- Dropbox business team management
- Google Drive
- Collection processes
- One cannot access the “Run as workflow owner” checkbox inside action set when it is placed on a state machine branch.
- It is difficult to control permissions to lists when the items have item-level permissions.

The installation was not a problem at any time.The initial setup was straightforward. During the trial, the team had installed it.
The deployment and maintenance team is approximately five people. We have three environments, and five people to handle the deployments and batch updates.
Helps in scheduling meetings, to share documents, and create complete visibility of HR policies; helps in administrative work (creating workflows that complete essential HR processes, without printing a single page).
1) Nintex integrates with your workflows with the instant-messaging program, social media, email, and practical integration of all kinds of data and documents.
2) It also offers easy drag-and-drop workflow design that saves a lot of time
3) It could be used on multiple devices such as MS Windows and Mac OS

The feature that I found most valuable is the deeper loops, and also deeper schedules so that you can schedule a particular workflow to a particular type.
Initially, the product was very stable, but with few isssues here and there, in any case, we are now at a point where we are trying to move away from Nintex.
- Implemented in-house
Change management was a small part of the implementation and was well-handled
- When running a large workflow it can be very difficult to determine which action caused the issue. Also, due to the large amount of actions running, having the correct timing or sequence of update actions is also difficult to manage. To resolve these types of issues splitting the workflow is also recommended.

THE BOTTOM LINE is Nintex Workflow Cloud has arguably the best visual workflow editing and automated logic environment of all the low-code development platforms we've tested, but its basic app UI design and database capabilities need deeper integration and improvement.
The pros are:
Drag-and-drop workflow editing.
Strong integrations.
Native Nintex Mobile app
Superb workflow automated and logic rule creation.
Built-in task assignment and management.
