Featured Reviews

Vijayraj Amin - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Jamil Milhem - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"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."
"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."
"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 features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services."
"Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."
"The product saves time and resources."
"The most valuable feature is the robotic process."
"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."
"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."
"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."
"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."
"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 solution needs to be scalable."
"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."
"Exception handling needs to be improved."
"The solution could use some AI integrated features."
"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
"The solution’s license is not expensive."
"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
"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."
"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."
"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)."
