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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Familiar, intuitive GUI coming from a Java development background, in-depth, descriptive, and well-laid-out documentation, responsive support through forums directly from Clover staff, a wealth of customizable pre-defined components, descriptive logging for error messages, and ease of install with a light footprint make it very effective to use."
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"We switched to CloverETL because of its flexibility to connect to various data sources and no dependence on native language and ease of use."
"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"It's a good product."
"The solution is scalable."
"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."
"Initially, the most effective features for process automation were website automation related to web auditing, SharePoint implementations, and automated management of information."
"It is a stable product."
"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."
"The solution is excellent for consulting websites, helping us send information, download the solution, and allow clients to upload files, with very fast and easy configuration, good pricing, and a very stable and scalable product supported by helpful technical support."
"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."
 

Cons

"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"Needs easier automated failure recovery, more and more intuitive auto-generated or filled-in code for components, and easier or more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"Exception handling needs to be improved."
"The negative side is that UiPath has a really large community on the RPA side, and Tungsten RPA doesn't have any community for the developer side, which is a red flag for us and for customers."
"We are on version 10.6, and the current version seems to be 11. Kofax is cycling the capabilities of the product very quickly."
"The technical support must be improved."
"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."
"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."
"For additional features, I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."
"The solution needs to be scalable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
"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 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."
"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)."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
