About Nintex
Nintex is a process automation company based in Bellevue, Washington, long known for workflows on Microsoft SharePoint. Its main cloud product, Nintex Automation CE, lets business users build workflows and approvals with a drag-and-drop designer, digital forms, document generation, e-signature and robotic process automation for desktop tasks, with process mapping tools for documenting how work is done. Nintex Automation K2 is the self-hosted option for organisations that need to keep everything on their own servers, and Nintex for Salesforce automates documents and workflows inside Salesforce. It connects to Microsoft 365, Salesforce and many other business systems. Pricing is quote-based through sales, with free trials available. Nintex sits between simple no-code workflow tools and heavyweight enterprise platforms like Pega, and fits mid-size and large companies with lots of document- and approval-heavy processes.
Best for: Organisations on Microsoft 365 or Salesforce with document- and approval-heavy processes.
