Nintex Workflow for Office365

Overall Satisfaction with Nintex Process Platform

We use Nintex Process Platform for our Office 365 tenant and SharePoint 2010.

Our main use is for business requests. Internal Staff are able to submit expense claims, travel request etc... using Nintex form. A Nintex workflow then sends the appropriate approvals to the designated approvers.

  • Long lasting, Workflow can stay running for longer than 90 days
  • Easy to setup
  • Good UI
  • Cost Wise
  • Limited Integration, i.e. with other Apps
  • Third Party, Relying on Microsoft to not make drastic changes
  • Time Saved
  • Hours Saved
  • Improved Customer Experience
It is a good solution, easy to use and efficient when it comes to building quick business processes.
Integration with Power Automate and Power Apps
We have front facing Power Apps that utilise Nintex workflows. We also have Nintex workflow that calls a Power Automate Flow
Microsoft Power Automate is more customizable than Nintex Workflow but harder to use. It also has a 30 day running limitation.

Do you think Nintex Process Platform delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Nintex Process Platform's feature set?

Yes

Did Nintex Process Platform live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Nintex Process Platform go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Nintex Process Platform again?

Yes

I would recommend Nintex and it's solution for businesses that require easy and immediate solutions. Nintex provides a good combination of ease of use and good capabilities, which doesn't require specialist coding skills to implement.

Nintex is less appropriate in scenarios where high customization is required. The form is limited in terms of how much you can customize and how powerful the logic/rules can be set up. In these circumstance Power Apps might be a more appropriate solution.

Also, as Nintex is a third party app. Major changes from Microsoft can cause problems. As Nintex communicated, the Office 365 Nintex workflows would all be made redundant due to changes from Microsoft in how they process SharePoint workflows.
