Nintex Workflow for Office365
Overall Satisfaction with Nintex Process Platform
We wanted to use Nintex to help with workflow assignments that are in a large SharePoint list. We moved from Microsoft Power Automate because of significant throttling issues. We manage over 1,100 projects each year and each project has upwards of 100 SharePoint list fields. We have multiple workflows (e.g. review of project as multiple steps) within each SharePoint list row that need to start when a date is entered for that project in the list. Power Automate was able to use date fields as triggers. Nintex Workflow cannot.
We worked with Nintex engineers and their work around was to add two new fields for every workflow we want to kick off. That is a lot of extra work for a list that already has 100 fields. We keep asking Nintex to allow the condition builder to access date fields. It's been over a year without any progress. They seems to have a lot of turnover with their account team and we have to re explain what we want many times.

- Sends emails
- Need to be able to start workflows when a person enters a date in a SharePoint list
- Negative return on investment. We spent many hours on training only to find out it won't do what we need
- Engineering unable to meet our needs
- Workarounds require a lot of extra work for our team
