Nintex Workflow 2010 adds significant workflow functionality to SharePoint 2010 that is not included out of the box or with other Microsoft products like SharePoint Designer or Visio. It allows designing and managing workflows entirely within SharePoint with an easy to use graphical interface. It also provides tools to track and analyze workflow performance, secure workflow design and deployment, reuse workflows, and connect to external systems. In summary, Nintex Workflow enables much more powerful and "real world" workflow logic and management capabilities for SharePoint compared to the native and other Microsoft options.
