Average solution with good workflow but needs to improve machine learning
The configuration can be a bit much. The AML engine part could be better. It's not easy to train. It's not so easy to train the system. If it's not trained, the accuracy will be off. They need to improve data quality. They need to start from scratch with the AML. They need to add on the document processing tool. It's getting there; it just need to be expanded. I haven't used the reporting too much. However, it would be helpful to have it more robust. The solution does require a lot of RAM.

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

"Transact's best feature is its ease of customization."
"Transact's best feature is its ease of customization."
"I have found the keyword extraction to be helpful."
"I like the inject feature. With desktop injects, we're doing all these things and extracting these things. Its stable, scalable, and technical support is good."
"I believe Ephesoft Transact is one of the best tools because the UI is an easy one."
"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."
"It is a stable product."
"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."
"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."
"The ability to script information from websites is most valuable; it also seems to be fairly robust and reasonably easy to manage on a server-based deployment."
"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."
 

Cons

"It's not easy to train."
"Transact could be improved by removing Java and making its pricing more accessible for smaller customers."
"Transact could be improved by removing Java and making its pricing more accessible for smaller customers."
"Their email service and extraction could be better. We get the input via email, and these emails contain different types of documents like Excel, PDF, or they may contain different content in the email body."
"Their email service and extraction could be better. We get the input via email, and these emails contain different types of documents like Excel, PDF, or they may contain different content in the email body. Due to this variation, sometimes the email service crashes, and emails aren't redirected to Ephesoft Transact. Ephesoft has provided us with new hotfixes. Whatever flaws we found in the 2019.2 version, they have already updated it in the new version, 20.1.05, and it's already released. Drawbacks like not capturing the handwritten fields are now sorted."
"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."
"The technical support must be improved."
"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."
"I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."
"We are on version 10.6, and the current version seems to be 11. Kofax is cycling the capabilities of the product very quickly. One of the difficulties has been to actually keep up with the capabilities as they've evolved. On the one hand, it is good that the product is getting better, but on the other hand, it is difficult to implement the best way with a product that is evolving constantly."
"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."
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Initially, when I got a licensed copy of Ephesoft Transact, it was for one year. After one year, we had to send an email to the Ephesoft team informing them that our license was going to expire. They updated it and provided one license in our file, and we had to update and install the folder. They have versions for one year and lifelong as well."
"Transact's pricing could be better for smaller customers."
"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
"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)."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"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's prices are pretty reasonable."
"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
"The solution’s license is not expensive."
