InfoPath alternative
Given the end of life of InfoPath, what is the recommended alternative going forward for new development? We are looking at using Nintex Forms.
- Hi Talbot, The roadmap going forward is via PowerApps and Microsoft Flow. These products are not direct replacements for InfoPath offering a much wider canvas. It's likely, imho, that Microsoft will craft a forms product from the PowerApps and Flow platforms. I'm guessing more to be said at Ignite. Keep an eye on the Office 365 Roadmap too. Nintex is a strategic Microsoft partner is this area so may still be the right choice and InfoPath still has legacy support for some time but I agree not for new projects.
Nintex pricing is insane. We were considering making the switch to Nintex, but after meeting with their sales rep, decided not to hand bundles of money to them. I haven't found anything that is what I would consider to be a viable replacement for InfoPath. MS Forms is about as far from a sutible alternative as you can get.
Do you know if now there are some new programs or workaround that can we use instead InfoPath?

You could also take a look at Lightning Tools or Skybow products, or StratusForms (The commercial version of Forms 7 which was a community solution, but is free for non commercial use.)

- We are now using Infowise. A lot cheaper than Nintex.
