Facilitates data quality monitoring and AI governance with a complete suite of tools
When I initially started with Collibra, it was just a data cataloging platform with governance workflows around it. Now they have acquired a lot of other tools, or they have merged or acquired different platforms. It is a complete suite of tools for managing data. We can monitor data quality and take actions on the profiling results obtained by running data quality checks. Collibra helps catalog data assets, monitor the health of data assets, and take necessary actions. If we find data quality issues, it also provides a medium to capture those issues and how to remediate them. The workflows allow the creation of custom workflows based on needs. The newest addition in their tool suite is AI governance, which allows cataloging all AI models currently deployed or even in the pre-production stage. It helps document model meanings and the risks involved, thus managing all risks related to AI deployments.

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

"Using lineage and Collibra Catalog has helped me overall improve the trust and transparency regarding data origin and transformation."
"Gartner identifies Collibra Catalog as the leader, which aligns with our observations."
"The workflows allow the creation of custom workflows based on needs."
"Collibra Catalog is simple to use and user-friendly for those who are not technically inclined since it is easy to find while also easy to see data lineage diagrams."
"Collibra Catalog allows us to automate metadata management, significantly saving time, effort, and finances."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Catalog are its customizability and ease of use."
"Except for data quality, everything is perfect."
"Collibra Catalog's best feature is the data quality checker."
"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."
"The tool's most valuable feature is web browser automation, which makes it easy to interact with any website. We can assemble a robot in a few hours with web automation, depending on its complexity."
"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."
"The pricing of the solution is quite good."
"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."
"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 drag and drop functionality is quite good."
"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."
 

Cons

"If the price is a bit reduced, that would be better."
"The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."
"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources."
"Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software."
"There is an issue with Collibra Catalog's pricing model, especially for organizations with many databases, as the initial package comes with a limited number of connectors."
"In Collibra Catalog, the main area that has room for improvement is the search functionality. It should be more natural language oriented instead of searching for exact names."
"One of the very key drawbacks is that automation for access provisioning is not available. If I discover a data set or data product in the marketplace and want to access the data, this feature doesn't exist at all."
"I'd like to see more integration with other reporting sources."
"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."
"I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."
"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."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."
"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."
"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"Collibra Catalog is fairly priced - I would rate their pricing seven out of ten."
"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
