Pros
"I have found the scheduling and email notifications features to very good compared to other RPA tools I have used.""It makes work easier.""The sequencer programming mode's ease of use is its most valuable aspect. The ease of calling out the functions in a sequence, basically from the functional side, is great.""The product provides valuable integration with other Microsoft tools.""The initial setup isn't too difficult.""It is quick, so I'm quite happy with it. It is also easy to use.""The most valuable feature is how much you can do with this solution.""The best part is the automated workflow, which is quite good and easy. It is just drag-and-drop. We are able to create workflows quite quickly. We are able to directly integrate the data that it generates with Power BI dashboards. Its integration is quite good with other Microsoft tools, such as Power BI. The visualization of the data has become helpful for us."

Cons
"Looping can be a bit tricky.""There are some bugs or intermittent behavior in the Excel activities that require using workarounds.""They can build more templates and more connectivity with other platforms. They can provide a more user-friendly way to connect with other platforms. They have their own in-built plugins for certain third-party vendors, but there are still a lot of third-party vendors that are not there.""The technical support has room for improvement.""Its licensing model should be improved. The pricing should be more visible and transparent. When you consume services, there are too many criteria to figure out how much it is going to cost you to use the product to its full extent. It should also support visual process editing, which is a standard feature for BPMN 2.0 compliance. They should improve the visual designer.""The UI of the solution is not so good.""I was working on it for around three days and then took a break of about two days. When I went back to it, all of the Excel, and all the Excel functions, just disappeared. Completely vanished. When I looked up the help, it said that sometimes that happens when you're not connected to the internet.""Not suitable for connecting other applications like browsers and third party applications."

"Further simplifying the low-code development process can attract a broader user base by making automation accessible to those with minimal technical skills.""There could be some features to fix compatibility issues with firmware.""Nintex RPA is not suitable for PDF automation."
