Nintex Process Platform Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

I like easy e-sign process integrated with Drawloop document generation. Ease of use.

I like most of Nintex tools like Drawloop package generation for PDF/XLS etc. Nothing to dislike.

PDF Generation with DDP and its ready for e-sign

Makes business process automation simple.

Would like more actions with third parties

HR processes

Ability to create automated workflows. Call workflows within workflows.

Sharepoint2010. Limited in built components. Requirement to use username and password to access external systems

Automatic business processes for approval and compliance.

Simplicity with usage, web browsed, and efficient

the huge cost for licenses, and the concept of license based on # of servers

We solved alot of e-services processes, we built alot of workflows for campaign management, access requets, daily and hourly jobs

The creation of workflows is very easy, it let u automatic workflow with no faults. Due the workflows, the whole company now works on the same way. People know what they will get when they start a workflow. The response of the support is also very quick, so we are very happy with Nintex. Keep going in the same direction.

Adding wait blocks to get things working, because variables aren't loaded, makes it sometimes hard. Also testing thes workflows makes it harder. Waiting 1 minute in Nintex, makes the waiting time in Sharepoint min. 5 min.

The process of checking and approving documents in our company.

easy design, drag and drop, our user can design the workflow by their own.

error workflow can't resume from the error point

Nintex helped our organizational process from paper work to digital

The ablitity to create a workflow within a couple of minutes

No error control in Update Item Action. The product is too expensive

BPM

Workflows have a lot of flexibility and power. We have many different workflows in production which have significantly cut down on our internal processing which has saved us a lot of man hours.

It takes a bit of a learning curve to get started but once you get familiar with things there isn't a lot that you can't do.

Process flow has been our most significant benefit. Instead of scanning, emailing and attaching many copies of documents around to individuals in our company we just send an email with links to the documents needed for review.

I like most that nintex is providing the workflow features in a constant way, not as Microsoft itself who are changing they used workflow engine every 2nd release of SharePoint. With nintex we as technican as well as our key users are able to establish in a short time great workflow solutions including forms.

Installation: - I would prefer that it is not necessary to have the web applicaton feature enabled on an app server to be able to manage the Workflows through central administration

We are providing digital process automation solutions to our internal business this includes: - before paper based processes - new digital processes

I like ease of use, intuitiveness and sharepoint integration and ability to automate and optimize our business processes. Although NIntex includes sample workflows, they do not seem to be available in Office 365 version. The Nintex Workflow designer works directly in SharePoint without the need to install client software to build workflows. This is a huge win as it eliminates client software as well as the IT control and governance required to deploy this software. So this is a big win for everyone from end users to IT.

I do not like that there are very few templates available and price is too high especially with subscruption model and limited number of workflows. The previous price model was better. The advanced features need to be more intuitive and would love to see more video tutorials than are currently abvailable.

forms, workflow and easy to use biz apps. SharePoint has a pretty well equipped workflow engine. Sure, it has its quirks, but it is rather reliable and it’s already there, so why not use it. Nintex leverages the SharePoint workflow engine as well as many other SharePoint objects like Lists and Libraries. This means that by installing Nintex you really don’t need to add any more resources to your farm than what you would to run say Designer workflows.

The workflow designer is easy to use with drag and drop functionality. The designer is also within the SharePoint site itself in the browser so that I do not have leave where I work.

For complex business logic, the workflow diagram will grow pretty big. Developers need to scroll up and down, or left and right across the design surface to read the workflow.

We use it mainly for business process automation. This has eliminated lots of paper / manual work.

Visual look , easy to build and monitor.

Unknown errors mostly due to time lag, sometimes errors are unfixable and not consistent . Gets limited for complex solutions . Fairly limited for large processes . Makes the system slow for lot of automation

Automation is easy , quick turnaround of solutions . Can do complex tasks with ease of configuration. Integration of SharePoint with other systems

The ability to view the workflow history in a graphical environment and how easy you can do some things like call a web service, update, delete .

That I have some perfornance issues and the fact that I migrate/deploy them manually

You are solving business problems like approvals of multiple people,

more visual representation of the workflow

initially can be difficult to learn how to setup a nintex workflow

more efficient workload less email traffic

I like that Nintex Forms allows you to filter lookup metadata. It also has the ability to bring a list view into a form which is great when linking list together through an ID. The Workflow product is also great with some great actions to extend out of the box functionality

Some of the workflow actions will only run every 5 minutes, which is something you need to take into account when designing your workflow diagram. i.e State Diagrams and Loops etc.

Automating expense claim forms and approvals. Training and Travel requests Creation of Doc Sets independent of Site Collection or Library Help Desk Request System Shopping Cart

Very convenient and low code solution. Easy to implement any design and process. Lot of features

Support is not good. Office 365 version is very cranky

Contract management system

Ease of use, GUI interface for building workflows and the number of connectors to other products

It is not as easy to use for a regular business user. They still need to be able to understand SharePoint and workflow logic.

Moving paper processes and approvals into SharePoint supported by a Nintex Workflow to make sure the right people are being brought into our process at the right time.

The platform is very sophisticated and provides a lot of capabilities. We have been very pleased with the

Unless you are a savvy user, it is difficult as a new user to know what Nintex actions to use for a particular type of activity.

We are using Nintex against SharePoint lists and libraries to automate the movement of list items from one list to another as part of an approval process.

Automation, Approval, really a lot of features that the users find great benefit in.

Some inconsistencies. Ticket turn around time

Forms development coupled with Nintex workflow. Content Management projects, etc

the designer is awesome and the plataform suporto many tecnologies

it has to have more actions on premisse, tha non controlls JSON responses

student Service Workflows Document Creation Workflows

The possibility of cresting simple to extremely complex workflows

The web UI can be slow when working with complex workflows

User privilege workflows that has many different approval steps

Nintex Workflow is simple to use having a drag and drop interface allowing you to quickly create and edit workflows. It has a lot of capabilities and it's completely browser-based, so it doesn't require any installations!

It does have it's limitations, specifically when you start working with web services, sometimes authentication can be an issue.

Right now we're using Nintex Workflows for document generation by getting information from a SharePoint list. We also use it to update a list according to a value in another list.

Nintex workflows are very helpful in designing productive solutions right within the browser. Very user-friendly, and can be configured in no time.

One thing in which nintex workflows are lagging on premise systems is the housekeeping part. Housekeeping of workflows is not easy for large enterprise customers like us. The out of the box purge options are timing out. It would be great if it can be incorporated in future releases. Purging workflows data should be made simple and a global configuration settings must be provided for nintex workflows auto purge activity based on certain rules.

Document approvals, some of our internal teams build creative solutions out of the workflow actions provided.

It's just simple to use and IT departments can focus on more complex workflows, since the platform is intuitive enough that end users can create their own simple workflows. Also, love the integration opportunities it offers!

Workflow errors could be more specific. Many times I find myself not knowing where to go.

Nintex resolves the need to have humans doing anything repetitive, and instead they can focus on thinking, creating, and improving processes.

I like that everything is visual, complex workflows can be generated just by drag and drop. It's really great that we can benefit form CAML query. Nintex form responsive is perfect for creating simple device friendly forms, however Nintex classic is a power tool for generating more complex form by using javascript and custom CSS.

I've found that the development in Nintex is pretty slow.

Almost all SharePoint requests go through Nintex.

Immediate response when we have raise a case with support team, because business is waiting for the update/resolution from our end. so kindly focus on it.

We are facing lot of issues, so we need immediate action from your team to provide the good service to business users.

Easy to create a workflow, even we don't have knowledge on coding. According to this Nintex is really a great tool to create a workflow easily in time and also make changes very easily.

Amongst other things, i like it because of simple creation, update and management of workflows, actions that are very simple in the usage.

It was hard to find solutions/guidelines for some of the issues that i had in some projects, i mean their support portal is not very useful (at least for me).

We are using Nintex Workflows for some of our business processes that we have here in our organization, such as procurement, certificate/diploma and some other processes.

The GUI workspace which is easy to learn & community that is actively helping to resolve issues.

The fact that certain functions within the workflow builder are not intuitive

Visitor Management automation through sharepoint, allowing for email notifications and appointment modifications.

I like the drag and drop method to create workflows

The way how some of your form actions (e.g. Repeat section) does not integrate seamlessly into SharePoint list, but exports data in an XML format.

It allows me to create reporting and data transfer solutions quickly.

The out of the box GUI interface that allows for simple escalation automation. Email notification and triggers are useful.

It is difficult to understand the mappings of the fields within each Nintex workflow box

We are solving Managerial escalation through the use of Nintex to notify managers when certain escalation events are triggered within Sharepoint
