Hi All,

I was just wondering, does anyone know/use NINTEX?

Brief expert note expanding on the thread (context: asked about Nintex; mentioned vendor demos/support).

For teams evaluating Nintex with legacy InfoPath forms, the key questions are maintainability, migration effort, and total cost — not just initial delivery speed. Nintex is a low‑code workflow/forms platform that can speed rollouts, but it brings licensing, a different operational model, and a potential vendor lock‑in. Ask for a proof‑of‑concept that mirrors actual data volumes and concurrency, not just a canned demo.

Practical checklist to decide next steps:

  • Inventory every InfoPath form: note code‑behind, repeating sections, custom XSLT, and external data calls. Forms with server code or complex business logic are the costliest to move.
  • Pilot with a high‑value, low‑complexity form. Rebuild it as a Nintex Form (or Power Apps) and run the same workflows under realistic load to measure latency and error rates.
  • Check integration points: REST/SOAP calls, authentication methods, secure credential storage, and how the workflow will behave under SharePoint list thresholds or Office 365 throttling.
  • Clarify Nintex licensing, upgrade path, support SLA, and deployment/process for moving workflows between dev/test/prod.

Common pitfalls and fixes:

  • Long, monolithic workflows are hard to debug. Break them into smaller, orchestrated steps and add explicit status fields and audit logs.
  • Heavy queries or large attachments can hit thresholds; batch or schedule those tasks.
  • If InfoPath forms contain compiled code, plan for rewrite rather than simple conversion.

For a high‑value decision, require vendor references, documented SLAs, and a migration plan with estimated hours per form. For basic product info, see Nintex’s site: Nintex.

It's a commercial product I saw at some trade show. They seem to offer demos, answer questions so if they are not answering your questions my bet is you should never speak of them again.

Ok, thanks.

The company I work for is using NINTEX workflows with MS InfoPath to automate some manual forms in our company.

I've seen the combination of technologies and I am not impressed with it.
