Transformed document processing has become foolproof with seamless data extraction

Altair Monarch ( /products/altair-monarch-reviews ) is valuable because it allows a one-time setup for data extraction, making the process extremely easy with just a few clicks to get the output. It is foolproof and ensures perfect extraction as long as the models and templates remain standard, providing a seamless and error-free experience.

Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection

I have worked with Microsoft Power Platform and UiPath. Kofax RPA offers a comprehensive solution with built-in capabilities for executing tasks like running Excel files and web automation without additional servers. They provide their browsers and extensions. For functions such as OCR, image processing, and data extraction, Kofax has built-in features powered by their engine, eliminating the need for subscriptions to external technologies like Microsoft Cognitive Services or Google Search. One of Kofax RPA's strongest features is its on-premise solution, which is particularly beneficial for organizations operating in regions with data regulations, such as the UAE.

Pros

"Altair Monarch is valuable because it allows a one-time setup for data extraction, making the process extremely easy with just a few clicks to get the output."

"Monarch lets you quickly extract in your preferred format."

"It is stable and scalable."

"The best part of Kofax is that they have a whole concept. It's one product, but also has extra elements that can be integrated."

"The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."

"The ability to script information from websites is most valuable. It also seems to be fairly robust and reasonably easy to manage on a server-based deployment. We have a number of robots operating on the central server."

"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."

"The pricing of the solution is quite good."

"The most valuable feature is the robotic process."

"The solution is scalable."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"I rate Altair Monarch seven out of 10 for affordability. Recently, the pricing model changed from end-user licensing to a concurrent licensing model."

"The scalability has room for improvement."

"The product has some constraints and performance issues."

"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."

"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."

"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."

"The process discovery could be a bit better."

"We are on version 10.6, and the current version seems to be 11. Kofax is cycling the capabilities of the product very quickly. One of the difficulties has been to actually keep up with the capabilities as they've evolved. On the one hand, it is good that the product is getting better, but on the other hand, it is difficult to implement the best way with a product that is evolving constantly."

"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The normal price for an on-premises license is €50,000. That's the price for one robot license. You can have more than one robot license but only one can be run at any one time. I believe the cost of adding a second robot is around €14,000."

"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."

"The pricing model for automation solutions like Automation Anywhere, UiPath, and Microsoft Power Platform is subscription-based, where costs are calculated based on factors such as the number of hours used and the scale of automation required.......With Kofax, you purchase a license upfront, and that's all you need. You can create as many automation workflows as you require without additional costs for individual use cases."

"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."

"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

"I don't have complete insight at this point in time, but I would guess that Kofax is a lot less expensive than Automation Anywhere. I would expect its license to be on a yearly basis."

"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."

Overview

Datawatch Monarch is an application that runs on your Windows desktop and as soon as you drop a file or web page onto the canvas it automatically begins to extract into analytics-ready rows and columns. You can also connect to all major relational, big data, and over 30 other sources, but often the most important information you need is locked away in existing reports or difficult sources that seem impossible to use without re-keying the data.
