User-friendly and accessible for anyone with computer knowledge and logical thinking
There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool. Currently, it provides basic reports and the ability to create graphs and dashboards, but I'm looking forward to more robust analytics. The plan is to enhance this feature in 2024, around Q2 or Q3, which would save us from relying on external tools like Power BI for insights.

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

"Transformation Manager is the backbone of every data pipeline these days because the solution has been on the market for 20 to 30 years, and we use it for various industries, including financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, etc."
"It is among the best, even if not widely known."
"It is a reliable solution."
"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."
"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"The end user only has to click once to preserve the entire email conversation."
"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, and if you take the whole package with the extra products you can digitize it using RPA and also by using the other products they provide."
"It's a good product."
"The solution is scalable."
"We use Kofax effectively and I'm happy with it."
"It is a stable product."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."
"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."
"We get decent support. It's okay but not great."
"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."
"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."
"Automating systems based on Citrix, where using AI or OCR-based capture of a screen, presents challenges."
"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."
"Kofax needs to create a community where developers have the opportunity to donate to it. The education surrounding this solution should be better."
"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."
"Concatenation of error messages."
"Its documentation is not widely available on the web. When there is a problem, the channels through which I can get a solution are limited."
"The solution needs to be scalable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
"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."
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"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."
"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."

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.

Tungsten RPA reduces manual work, especially in financial services and HR solutions.
