Forms, I like all the functionality in the Nintex form
I'm not too fond of the Nintex learning site; it should contain some interactive learning like Alteryx has on its site.
On the workflow, I sometimes face problems searching for the best tool. There should be an easier way to look for Tools just with the keyword.
Ease of use and ability to connect across multiple platforms without much trouble. Especially platforms that tend not to connect to the other or at least not in a quick and easy way.
I do wish it was a bit easier to make use of on prem applications when using NWC.
We are using this for our IT Security Risk Assessment Workflow. It has cut down the time drastically between use of the online form capabilities along w the easy to setup workflow functions that ensure the same path is followed each and everytime and not missed.
Its just a powerfull tool to create proceses - forget excel sheets
thinking about that - theres nothing I "dislike"
Contract management, on and offboarding people,
Click and Build interface is very intuitive for all types of users. Usually, there is a barrier for these types of platforms which is the learning curve. For this platform, it is very easy to learn, and there are a lot of guides they put out for users out there. The community is also large and there are a lot of power users out there with experience that are very happy to help out. The Nintex support team has also been easy to reach out to and easy to get support from. I got assistance within a few hours and the team will constantly follow-up as required. They would even provide development assistance.
There is a lot the platform can improve on. One example is that sometimes there can be too many steps on a workflow or too many controls on the forms. While this can be actually required for the business, I believe some of them can be made a lot more simpler.
I am solving problems with errors in the workflow and forms that our users are developing. It could range from problems with the forms or flows, and if these are having an impact on their SharePoint sites. The automation bit of it can sometimes be problematic, but hey, that is why we are here.
Both Forms and Workflows are GUI tools; no code is necessary. Support is top notch!
It's definitely expensive. We have the unlimited enterprise license.
Many business processes and some systems built in SharePoint. We use Forms for front end design and Workflows to run SQL stored procedures to move data to custom databases.
The reason for selecting Nintex in our organization was very simple, it is a product easy to use.
Nothing. Have not found anything not to like.
Used to manage, automate and optimize different business processes at the Hospital. it provides capabilities for process mapping and workflow automation.
I like the forum help from nintex community. i like the development in forms using JS and CSS we can do whatever we want to, it is not limited. I like using nintex workflows in automating most of the business processes. I like the way we test the web services in run now section, i use nintex run now function than postman tool to test the web serices. i like the LDAP action on workflows which is useful to make contact with AD easily. I like the electronic signature feature which is released recently,i am very excited and eager to use it.
I personally think nintex forms would have extended capabilities of talking to web services. The error notifications of workflows are too generic, sometimes they just say error out and failed on start. While developing forms, the labels connected to items which requires validation shows red asterick with break tag in inproper format, if we develop the form in google chrome. This is not fixed in recent versions as well.
I have built lot of forms in nintex and automated lot of approval, id creation, reporting works in nintex workflow. The most liked feature in nintex forms is repeating section, using that i built a shopping cart functionality. In nintex workflows, i like the collection variable concept where we can work with large amount of data. LDAP action for creating an account in AD.
The form tools are easy to work with, as long as you use the New Responsive Designer. It is easy for end users to pick up and work on their own.
The form designer is missing a number of items like being able to make your own buttons and being able to set values when submitting the form that are incredibly useful and I miss not having them
We have done 2 years worth of work in 3 weeks using Nintex Forms. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we had to ensure that our Emergency Operations Center could still function when working remotely. They were using paper forms and in 3 weeks we converted them to electronic forms.
Simple no code approach, makes it easy for anyone to be able to use right away.
Would like more training opportunities that we could attend with hands on instructions.
Creating workflows for my whole system in SharePoint
In theory it is straight forward on how you have to build the workflow out.
Adding the logs and pulling from them later was a little tricky and took a little time to understand.
We took a 100% manual process and automated about 80% of it and are now saving ~70 man hours a week.
