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."
"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."
"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."
"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 solution is scalable."
"Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."
"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."
"Initially, the most effective features for process automation were website automation related to web auditing, SharePoint implementations, and automated management of information."
"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"Kofax RPA needs to improve integration with SAP and Microsoft. The professional services offered by the tool's team is below par. Its licensing needs to be more modular."
"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."
"The process discovery could be a bit better."
"The technical support must be improved."
"Automating systems based on Citrix, where using AI or OCR-based capture of a screen, presents challenges."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution’s license is not expensive."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
"Kofax's prices are pretty 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."
"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 cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"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)."
