Frequently Asked Questions

There is no enterprise-grade free alternative to Nintex for SharePoint. Microsoft Power Automate is included in some Microsoft 365 plans but has significant limitations in on-premises support and requires developer expertise. NITRO Studio is not free but is substantially less expensive than Nintex through flat-rate annual licensing that does not scale by workflow count.

After Nintex's on-premises product reaches end-of-life, organizations still running it face security and compliance risks without supported patches or updates. Microsoft's retirement of SharePoint 2016 and 2019 on July 14, 2026 creates a compounding deadline. Organizations should begin migration planning at least 90 days before the deadline to allow adequate time for workflow rebuilding and user training.

Nintex is not being discontinued entirely, but Nintex has ended support for its on-premises SharePoint product. Organizations using Nintex in a SharePoint on-premises environment need to migrate to either a cloud-based Nintex offering or a different platform entirely. Many organizations are using this forced migration as an opportunity to evaluate lower-cost alternatives like NITRO Studio.
