FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.
PrashanthR - PeerSpot reviewer
Great with recognition and provides a high level of confidence in terms of extraction capabilities
When it comes to machine print, this is an excellent solution with features you don't find in other tools. When dealing with handwritten text they have provided some A2iA locators that require a separate license. Even after implementing that, the handwritten text extraction was not great. Microsoft Azure does better at text extraction. If an organization is looking for OCR without the need to extract anything, then I would suggest a product such as Textract or another free software. If data extraction is needed for additional processes then I would recommend Kofax. I rate this solution eight out of 10

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is open-source. It supports microservice orchestration. This is what we are really interested in. We can customize our products depending on the use cases."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important."
"It is simple to use. The user experience is very good."
"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."
"We like the idea of working with Cawemo because it enables us to keep on working, remotely or not. It allows us to collaborate between areas. It's easy to model and easy to use"
"Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design."
"I can use any other tools to create services and the UI, and then use them together with the Camunda BPMN engine."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."
"Essentially, Kofax TotalAgility as a whole is quite nice. As of now, we've only been able to use and explore its document classification and extraction capabilities. We haven't explored and used the case management capability yet, but the scan and capture capabilities we've been using heavily and those are quite good. Our solutions are mainly around those areas of Kofax TotalAgility. We haven't explored the product a lot, but the capabilities we've explored are good."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."
"It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."
 

Cons

"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved."
"There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible."
"I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack."
"If they could build some scripts or some configuration to get it up and running in a Docker environment, that would be good. I didn't find anything when on Docker, however, maybe they have something and I didn't see it yet."
"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."
"The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options."
"Documentation can be improved."
"The product must provide more videos and training materials."
"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"The one thing I would like to see more of right now: is a simplified form creation. That would be the most significant improvement I would like to see in their product."
"TotalAgility needs to improve communication with ECMs or other file storage systems because TotalAgility does not have file storage. A good improvement would be to create file storage or integrate with other file storage tools that are currently available."
"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code."
"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."
"Its price is decent. Everything is included in the license. The Community version is also good to start with. We are using the Community version."
"Camunda's pricing is good."
"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
"The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
