Nintex RPA

Workflow + RPA combined, under Thoma Bravo PE pressure.

By Nintex Group Pty Ltd · Founded 2006 · Bellevue, WA · pe backed

Nintex is the workflow-first automation vendor that added RPA via the 2020 acquisition of EnableSoft / Foxtrot RPA. Acquired by Thoma Bravo in 2021 (private equity, deal value not publicly disclosed but reported in the $1B+ range). The combined platform spans Nintex Workflow (SharePoint and Office 365 anchored), Nintex Automation Cloud, Nintex RPA (Foxtrot heritage), Nintex Process Discovery, and AI workflow generation. Strengths: strong SharePoint + Microsoft 365 workflow heritage, simpler RPA experience for departmental use, broader process platform play (workflow + RPA + process discovery), mature SMB-to-mid-market positioning. Trade-offs: under Thoma Bravo PE ownership pricing pressure and headcount discipline are real (similar pattern to Coupa, SolarWinds, Anaplan post-PE), RPA capability lighter than UiPath / Automation Anywhere, and Foxtrot heritage feels separate from the Nintex Workflow product.
