Nintex Workflow for Office365
Overall Satisfaction with Nintex Process Platform
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
- In some cases it saved thousands of man-hours per year
We mainly use Nintex Process Platform in the Microsoft Office 365 environment, and being a developer, deployment of workflow and forms is crucial to us.
Citizen development is present in our organization, where power users of SharePoint sites develop solutions around document library and lists.
Nintex Process Platform really helped cut down the cost of the learning curve and bring in additional developers for many of our projects.
In most cases, it took under 40 hours to develop and deploy a digital solution. This really saved the business time to focus on other things.
- Microsoft Power Automate (formerly microsoft flow)
Power automate offers tough competition to Nintex Process Platform when it comes to citizen development, since MS pushed that option right into the SharePoint list.
