	SharePoint Designer (discontinued)
Considered Both Products	Discontinued Products Jordan Deroubaix Programmer in Information Technology at NXO (Information Technology & Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) In order to simplify our internal workflows, we have installed additionnal tool for our SharePoint platforms : Nintex Workflow and forms. Compared to Nintex, SharePoint Designer is very far away. I am only talking here for 2 main features of SharePoint Designer : Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) I haven't used anything else like this. I use different products for workflows and forms, but they aren't listed in the listings for this page. Instead of using it for workflows or forms (deprecated 2 years ago), I use Nintex. For everything else, I have what I need in the … Incentivized Helpful? Krishn Garg Technology Analyst in Information Technology at Infosys (Computer Software, 10,001+ employees) Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) These products are very good alternatives to SharePoint Designer but SharePoint Designer stacks up when you are using it for on-premise SharePoint environment. Incentivized Helpful? Laura Stein Office365 Solutions Specialist in Information Technology at Union Tank Car (Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, 1001-5000 employees) Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) SharePoint Designer is a free tool. We use it where ever possible. Incentivized Helpful? Doreen Giles Elearning Specialist, Video Production in Information Technology at State of New Jersey (Government Administration, 10,001+ employees) Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) I prefer InfoPath for designing forms for use in SharePoint over SharePoint Designer. I have not used SharePoint Designer for designing pages in SharePoint. I have found it easier to work directly in SharePoint. Granted I have only had the product for a little over a year. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) I'd say that Nintex is a lot easier to configure and identifying errors is less complex than SharePoint Designer. In addition, an alternative that developers may prefer using is Adobe Dreamweaver which is also a web development tool. A third option is Coda, a text editor that … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) SharePoint Designer is somewhat inferior when compared to a purpose-built third-party tool like Nintex. Even though Nintex leverages built-in workflow engines (SP2010 and SP2013 depending on platform), it builds on top of that and adds many useful features. Incentivized Helpful? Scott Rawls Enterprise Content Management Supervisor in Professional Services at RSM US (Information Technology and Services, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) Nintex Forms and Workflow are both very robust tools, but cost for some clients can be prohibitive. Nintex does not provide tools to manage SharePoint sites, lists and libraries. Incentivized Helpful? Matt Finley, MSIT Web Developer in Information Technology at Express Employment Professionals (Staffing and Recruiting, 51-200 employees) Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) Both K2 and Nintex provide a powerful platform to build and run business applications that integrate seamlessly with SharePoint; business apps typically consist of workflow, forms, data and reports. The type of business apps range from simple document approval workflows to … Incentivized Helpful? Nicholas Miller SharePoint Developer and Architect in Information Technology at Holiday Retirement (Hospitality, 10,001+ employees) Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) Both Nintex and K2 Blackpearl are great products in their own way, but they are expensive. The pricing models for the SharePoint Online environment is very expensive for how Holiday uses workflows. Nintex's pricing model is by the number of workflows in your tenant, and I … Incentivized Helpful? April Dunnam SharePoint Developer in Information Technology at ThriveFast, L.L.C. (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) There really isn't a holistic, complete SharePoint Designer replacement currently. You can utilize several different tools and piece together the functionality of Designer. No one really "selects" SharePoint Designer, it is just a necessary evil. For O365 subscribers, Flow … Incentivized Helpful? Lorraine Marrero Web Administrator III (SharePoint) in Information Technology at The Institute of Internal Auditors Inc. (Non-Profit Organization Management, 201-500 employees) Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) I have not used any other products. SharePoint Designer is what I use on a daily basis. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) SharePoint Designer should be used for SharePoint it was made for this purpose. Trying to use Dreamweaver with SharePoint just doesn't work. Incentivized Helpful? Kristina Geiger Developer in Information Technology at Guardian Industries Corp. (Glass, Ceramics & Concrete, 10,001+ employees) Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) SharePoint Designer is the only tool of its kind that I feel 100% comfortable using. Compared to the Nintex workflows/forms, SharePoint Designer has much more increased functionality and ease for an IT-type user like myself. I think it has a much better and easier to navigate … Incentivized Helpful? Mary Kay Scott Web Developer III in Information Technology at USAC (Telecommunications, 201-500 employees) Chose SharePoint Designer (discontinued) As I said before, I didn't select SharePoint Designer per se, but I did (and will continue to) elect to sometimes use Designer rather than create deployable solutions in Visual Studio. Designer could be called the lazy person's tool for modifying SharePoint. Solutions created in … Incentivized Helpful?
