Easy development and trouble shooting. Very user friendly and citizen developers developed it
Will fail for no reason. Will not handle the load. We had several workflow failure cases
Developing custom apps on sharepoint
Ease of creating workflows and its very intutive
Sometimes not so stable and its slow at times
Digitising internal processes3
I just started using Nintex and it is very intuitive to learn the basics
I'm using the Nintex version for 365 and cannot believe they did not include the ability to capture individual approvers....this is a software application used for business processes, people have to approve or reject things................AND THERE IS NOT AN OUT OF THE BOX OPTION TO CAPTURE AN INDIVIDUAL APPROVER??? To me this was a big miss.
We are using Nintex for our Business Processes that require approvals.
The flexibility and capability that Nintex offers.
Simple workflows become complex very easily. For example: Just to implement a simple Employee Change Notice workflow (notification for onboarding, chanigng and separating staff) required weeks of Professional Services. This eats into the soft costs that Nintex provides.
Employee onboarding, change management, tracking cyclical IT activities
State machine makes is easy to route approval decisions to different levels.
Performance not as fast as I would like, especially for looping.
Everything from simple email confirmations to approval type forms.
The drag-and-drop interface makes workflow design simpler, and easily approachable for no-code development and configuration. The ability to automate business processes provides a huge ROI, and increases the value of using SharePoint for collaboration.
Support tickets are often resolved by linking to articles or blog entries. Sometimes these provide enough information, but often we have follow up questions or require support that is more specific to our products and environment. It can sometimes take a number of back and forth emails before a more senior support analyst gets involved and can provide the resolution we are looking for.
Document and information reviews, project lifecycle management, and data manipulation. We run Nintex across multiple SharePoint environments, and the benefits are always related to reducing manual effort and streamlining process.
Consolidate all pending action task in one place. Able to track and trace every approval action, process, activity in details in terms of Date and Time. Eliminate manual form disappearing and the integration with other platform such as SAP and Microsoft SQL database tables from other system.
Not really a fast development tools although it is a so call low code platform. Example: Need to develop the workflow process even though there is existing similar workflow process. Not able to just copy paste and re-use.
From a developer site, did not benefit much from it. While from user point of view, other than we can see all pending task in worklist,
K2 is very powerful. Much more powerful than anything you can get out of the box.
It is not for beginners. We have users that want to try to use it, but usually give up in frustration if they are not an experienced programmer or the like.
We use it for departmental workflow tasks that are not handled by our bigger systems.
The drag and drop functionality that allows me to seamlessly integrate business processes.
Would like to see more forms integration.
Hiring onboarding and NDAs.
The Nintex workflow process seems so much more simplified than SharePoint workflows. I like the flowmap structure to setting up workflows.
I would like to see additional training opportunities in our local areas. Our staff are all over the US, and we'd like to be able to send more of our staff to local training.
We are trying to automate several of our current products that involve routing documents for signatures, and sending documents to archive libraries.
Usability is amazing. dragging and dropping actions with descriptions and instructions is very helpful
Some actions could have features built into them that require a separate actions, which can be detrimental when billing occurs per workflow over 5 actions.
We are transitioning from a SharePoint 2007 environment to a SharePoint online environment, while moving away from InfoPath forms.
Promapp is easy to access. A new employee can easily find all the required processes in one place
It is not very flexible in terms of writing the processes. It doesn't allow you to have diagrams and images directly in the process
-Reducing the number of processes -Eliminating multiple processes for the same job - Single process repository
tht the tool forces the used to think in small, bite sized, logical steps.
Would love it if Promapp also included policy so that both policy and process were in the same environment in our organisation.
Simplification of the "how" and reduction of complexity.
High level process maps with multiple stakeholders involved is very understandable. Easy to use.
A number of features not worth using. The save functionality can be frustrating.
Redesigning business processes. Identifying end to end processes
I like the ease in using the nintex workflow with best UI.
some features while upgrading to O365 is unavailable and cannot find the similar alternate from 2016 Nintex to O365.
Workflows with state machine, Approval process parallel and serial, reading the content from word document and so on.
It is easy for programing the workflows
The workflows sometimes error without reasons
The purchase approval purchase
The seemless integration of Nintex workflow with SharePoint online.
Nintex workflow still need to update workflow action where user name and password is required. Nintex need to support modern ways of authenication.
Automating process is biggest winner for us.
The best part is that I have learned a lot since starting to learn Nintex forms and workflows since I started about a year ago. The forms can do many things and has helped our business improve business processes.
The biggest concern is trying to figure out how to do some things right away. It would be nice to have more tutorials or classes to be able to take on nintex forms.
We have been putting forms and approvals into Nintex forms. We feel like it improves our business processes.
I don't build many processes, I mainly just run them, and they are a big timesaver, that the out of the box SharePoint ones normally are. I like that I can approve with an email, and not have to log in.
I don't like using Internet Explorer, but we are told that other browsers may have untested issues, so just use IE. :(
We use it for requesting non-inventory products for store use, like a petty cash. When we need trash bags, or dish soap, we put in the request and upload a receipt.
It's easy to create forms and basic workflows.
Workflows could be more intelligent, for example when it comes to handle variables. Forms could support saving drafts, a feature that we are missing big time and has been forced to implement ourselves on top of Nintex and Sharepoint.
Huge time save since paper forms can now be processed much faster digitally. Can keep track on where in the process a certain form is. Environmental benefit since no trees needed.
