Frequently asked questions
What does Nintex do?
Nintex is a process automation and agentic business orchestration platform. It lets teams automate manual work such as approvals, routing, data entry, onboarding and loan processing, and packages workflows, forms, agents and documents into governed solutions. It connects people, systems and AI agents on one governed platform, available as multi-tenant cloud (Nintex CE) or self-hosted (Nintex Automation K2).
How is Nintex priced?
Nintex does not publish list prices. Its pricing page routes buyers to a sales conversation covering platform, products and pricing, and support entitlement depends on your subscription plan and order form. Budget for a sales-led evaluation, and confirm edition, seat and support tier in writing before committing.
Which systems can Nintex integrate with?
Nintex connects with cloud and on-premises systems including Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Salesforce and SAP, plus custom applications. The vendor states this removes manual entry and duplicate work so teams can reach data without switching platforms. Confirm the specific connectors you need, and any custom integration work, during technical validation.
Can Nintex be deployed on-premises?
Yes. Nintex CE is the multi-tenant cloud platform for scalability and speed, while Nintex Automation K2 is the on-premises or hosted option giving full control and data sovereignty for organisations with strict data privacy, governance and compliance requirements.
What support is included and are there SLAs?
Standard Support is included with a subscription for the contract term, Enterprise Support comes with Enterprise Edition, and Select/Platinum adds 24x7 coverage with inbound phone support. Nintex states it does not offer formal SLAs on cases, but publishes targeted response times, from eight hours for Severity 1 on Standard down to two hours on Select/Platinum.
Does Nintex train AI models on customer data?
Nintex's privacy page states that the Nintex Services do not retain user data obtained via third-party applications or software, including Google Workspace's API, to develop, train or improve generalised AI or ML models. Ask for the same written commitment for the specific data your automations touch, particularly for on-premises deployments.
