We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage and Tungsten RPA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is easy to deploy."
"The solution is stable."
"It works with multiple servers and offers high availability."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration for data warehousing."
"The solution has improved the time it takes to perform tasks related to batch applications."
"ETL is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the product's versatility to inject data."
"As a data integration platform, it is easy to use. It is quite robust and useful for volumetric analysis when you have huge volumes of data. We have tested it for up to ten million rows, and it is robust enough to process ten million rows internally with its parallel processing. Its error logging mechanism is far simpler and easier to understand than other data integration tools. The newer version of InfoSphere has the data catalog and IDC lineage. They are helpful in the easy traceability of columns and tables."
"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."
"The solution is scalable."
"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."
"Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low."
"The product saves time and resources."
"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."
"The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."
"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."
"The pricing should be lower."
"Working with some of the big data components is good, but I can see improvements are needed."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"The graphical user interface (GUI) feels a lot like the interfaces from the 1980s."
"It would be useful to provide support for Python, AR, and Java."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"It takes a lot of time to actually trigger your job and then go into the logs and other stuff. So all of this is really time-consuming."
"The initial setup can be complex."
"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."
"Exception handling needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."
"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."
"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The product needs more AI capabilities."
