The Nintex alternative native to Microsoft 365

FlowForma is the Nintex alternative native to Microsoft 365. It runs inside your own SharePoint Online tenancy, needs no consultants to build or change a workflow, and has a transparent approach to pricing and support.

Why are organizations migrating from Nintex?

Products past end of life or no longer living up to expectation

Nintex On-Premise and Nintex Workflow for Office 365 reached end-of-life in April 2026, and Microsoft has removed the SharePoint 2013 workflow engine, so anyone still running them is unsupported.

 

K2 customers move too, usually because its complexity means every workflow change goes back to IT leading to backlogs.

A more seamless Microsoft 365 experience

Organizations already invested in Microsoft 365 want automation that lives inside it, not alongside it. No third-party connectors, no data leaving the tenant, and permissions that mirror the SharePoint estate they already govern.

Desire for AI innovation

Many organizations are re-evaluating legacy workflow platforms as expectations around speed of innovation and AI continue to rise.

Where earlier-generation tools may not have AI deeply embedded across workflows and automation, newer platforms like FlowForma are designed with AI at the core.

Rising cost of ownership

Costs are rising for organizations moving off the Nintex on-premise offering. Businesses tell us they want to lower total cost of ownership with platforms they can manage in-house, with less reliance on external partners for consultancy and bespoke work.

We're seeing FlowForma across an increasing number of areas across our organization where custom development either cannot be justified or is simply time-expensive.

Nintex migration questions, answered.

What is the best alternative to Nintex?

FlowForma is preferred over Nintex for its no-code, user-friendly platform that allows business users to easily automate workflows and build forms without technical expertise. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Office 365, is more cost-effective, and offers flexible automation, document management, and compliance features. With transparent pricing and strong customer support, FlowForma is an ideal alternative to Nintex.

Can FlowForma migrate Nintex On-Premise workflows as well as cloud workflows?

Yes. FlowForma supports migrations from Nintex On-Premise, Nintex Workflow for Office 365 and Nintex K2. Whether you're moving off legacy on-premise infrastructure or transitioning from a cloud Nintex product, our migration specialists and Copilot support both paths.

Can FlowForma replace Nintex K2?

Yes. K2 was built as a developer platform, so complex applications tend to sit with IT and every change goes back to them. FlowForma is no-code, which means the business team that owns a process can change it themselves. FlowForma Copilot rebuilds your existing K2 forms and workflows, and our migration specialists take on the complex ones.

Do you offer custom pricing for organizations migrating from Nintex?

Yes. We offer tailored migration packages for organizations moving from Nintex, designed to reduce effort, minimize risk, and accelerate transition.

Each package includes FlowForma Copilot access for rapid migration of your Nintex flows onto the FlowForma platform, plus 10,000 migration credits, from which you can decide how to spend these to have our experts complete the migration of more complex processes.

Speak with our team to define the right approach for your environment.

How long does it take to migrate from Nintex to FlowForma?

Simple processes can be rebuilt in FlowForma using Copilot in minutes, just upload your existing Nintex form and Copilot recreates it automatically. For larger migrations, our dedicated migration specialists work alongside your team through a structured program: onboarding, a 2-day training session, and phased go-live. Complex enterprise migrations typically complete from 6 weeks, with priority workflows delivered first using your included migration credits.

Who can build using FlowForma?

Anyone with basic business knowledge can build processes using FlowForma, thanks to its intuitive, no-code interface and easy to use Copilot. The platform is specifically designed for citizen developers, business users who don't have technical or coding skills but understand the workflows and challenges in their roles.

With Copilot building processes with simple prompts, drag-and-drop tools, templates, and user-friendly design, managers, team leads, operations staff and other non-IT professionals can quickly create and modify workflows.

IT teams or technical experts can also use FlowForma for more complex customizations, but the platform is accessible to a broad audience across various departments.

Can I try FlowForma before migrating from Nintex?

Yes, FlowForma offers both demos and trial versions to help organizations explore the platform's capabilities. You can request a personalized demo where our team will showcase how FlowForma works and how it can address your specific needs.

Additionally, we provide a 7-day free trial, allowing you to test the platform hands-on within your environment. This trial typically includes access to all key features and is fully supported by our solutions experts so you create and test workflows to experience the full potential of FlowForma.
