Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool's most valuable features are its connectors. It has many out-of-the-box connectors. We use ADF for ETL processes. Our main use case involves integrating data from various databases, processing it, and loading it into the target database. ADF plays a crucial role in orchestrating these ETL workflows.""I am one hundred percent happy with the stability.""We haven't had any issues connecting it to other products.""I like that it's a monolithic data platform. This is why we propose these solutions.""The solution has a good interface and the integration with GitHub is very useful.""Azure Data Factory's most valuable features are the packages and the data transformation that it allows us to do, which is more drag and drop, or a visual interface. So, that eases the entire process.""It is easy to deploy workflows and schedule jobs.""The solution can scale very easily."

"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.""This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems.""You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it.""The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems.""The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things.""Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools.""The most valuable feature is the robotic process.""The pricing of the solution is quite good."

Cons
"I have not found any real shortcomings within the product.""They require more detailed error reporting, data normalization tools, easier connectivity to other services, more data services, and greater compatibility with other commonly used schemas.""The Microsoft documentation is too complicated.""When the record fails, it's tough to identify and log.""When working with AWS, we have noticed that the difference between ADF and AWS is that AWS is more customer-focused. They're more responsive compared to any other company. ADF is not as good as AWS, but it should be. If AWS is ten out of ten, ADF is around eight out of ten. I think AWS is easier to understand from the GUI perspective compared to ADF.""Sometimes I need to do some coding, and I'd like to avoid that. I'd like no-code integrations.""The solution can be improved by decreasing the warmup time which currently can take up to five minutes.""We have experienced some issues with the integration. This is an area that needs improvement."

More Azure Data Factory Cons →

"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint.""Kofax RPA needs to improve integration with SAP and Microsoft. The professional services offered by the tool's team is below par. Its licensing needs to be more modular.""Exception handling needs to be improved.""The scalability has room for improvement.""There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product.""It needs a free training portal for anybody on the internet to use so that they can get an idea of what the possibilities are.""Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution.""RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "In terms of licensing costs, we pay somewhere around S14,000 USD per month. There are some additional costs. For example, we would have to subscribe to some additional computing and for elasticity, but they are minimal."
  • "This is a cost-effective solution."
  • "The price you pay is determined by how much you use it."
  • "Understanding the pricing model for Data Factory is quite complex."
  • "I would not say that this product is overly expensive."
  • "The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model, where you pay for what you consume."
  • "Our licensing fees are approximately 15,000 ($150 USD) per month."
  • "The licensing cost is included in the Synapse."
  • More Azure Data Factory Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
  • "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."
  • "Its pricing is reasonable given the product capabilities. Kofax has a wide range of products, and it can sometimes be confusing to understand which capabilities come with which product set. One of the key facets that we've been looking into recently is cognitive document recognition that was a core pile of some of their other technologies such as Kofax transformation modules (KTM)."
  • "Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
  • "There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
  • "Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
  • "I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
