I tried NITRO Studio for 90 days to see if it was actually worth using for workflow and form automation in our setup.
For context, we’re on SharePoint on-prem and had already experimented with Power Platform, but costs started adding up once premium connectors came into play. So the goal was simple: find something easier and more cost-effective for internal workflows.
Getting started was pretty smooth. Setup didn’t take long, and for anyone already familiar with SharePoint, the learning curve is fairly manageable. If not, there’s a bit of ramp-up, but nothing too overwhelming. Support was also helpful when we needed it, which made the early phase easier.
The main thing I tested was forms + workflows for everyday internal processes. Both were fairly straightforward, mostly drag-and-drop setups, with some room for customization depending on how complex you want to go.
What stood out was that it actually reduced a lot of small manual follow-ups and errors in our day-to-day processes once we rolled out a few core workflows. Nothing dramatic, but noticeable improvements in consistency and time saved.
By the end of the 90 days, we decided to keep using it and expand a bit more, mainly because it fit into our M365 environment and didn’t feel overly heavy to maintain.
Curious if others here have taken a similar “small rollout first, then expand” approach with workflow tools, what worked for you?
