Aditi Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides an ease of access and an automated mapping feature
We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records. Above that, we need to look for alternative solutions. They could provide automated transformation or mapping features around 10 to 15 independent data objects. We could have a default mark or limit of free usage for standard objects. It will be helpful. Additionally, we can have more integrations with large data volumes as we need a lot of exercises to handle the files in case of complex sites.

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

"he product’s most valuable feature is ease of access."
"I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM."
"DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free."
"Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."
"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."
"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."
"It is stable and scalable."
"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."
"The pricing of the solution is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is the robotic process."
"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."
 

Cons

"Dataloader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions. Additionally, at times it can be slow, and when integrating DBM, we find it more complex than Dataloader."
"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."
"DataLoader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions."
"Automating systems based on Citrix, where using AI or OCR-based capture of a screen, presents challenges."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"We've faced a few challenges with Tungsten RPA. One issue I recall was with sending emails that needed multiple attachments. At the time, the feature only allowed attaching one file at a time. We discussed this with Tungsten RPA, and they planned to add multi-attachment capability to their backlog. I'm not sure if it's been upgraded since then. The solution's desktop automation is tricker."
"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."
"The product should improve desktop automation, which is hard to configure. It needs to have custom connectors. It is the only advantage that Microsoft Power Platform has over Kofax RPA. It has more than 800 custom connectors."
"The solution needs to be scalable."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive and economical."
"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."
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
"The solution’s license is not expensive."
"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
"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."
