Fully-featured, good performance, and easy to use and install
We are using it to back up the software across the network to a remote server It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do. It is also very easy to use and install. It is pretty self-explanatory, and their support was also very good. Everything is fine. The user…

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 fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"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. We have a number of robots operating on the central server."
"Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low."
"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."
"The most valuable feature is the robotic process."
"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."
"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."
"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."
"The solution needs to be scalable."
"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 scalability has room for improvement."
"Its documentation is not widely available on the web. They should work on the availability of its documentation. In Automation Anywhere, there is a feature called Discovery Bot that automatically records the process steps and suggests a possible bot. I am not sure if such a feature is available in Kofax. If it is not available, it will be very good to have this feature. "
"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."
"The process discovery could be a bit better."
"The solution could use some AI integrated features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
"The solution’s license is not expensive."
"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)."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
