We performed a comparison between Kofax RPA and Microsoft Power Automate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."
"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."
"Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low."
"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 pricing of the solution is quite good."
"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."
"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."
"Different trigger events were most valuable. You could schedule a process on a recurring basis, at a certain time of day or week, or when something happens, which is huge."
"Its complete integration with Microsoft tools and the inclusion of the CRM are the most valuable features. It is embedded directly in the Office package, so clients have direct access to it. It has a lot more functionality than other standalone solutions, such as UiPath or Blue Prism."
"It is a low-code platform. It is easy to use and good for automating small tasks such as expense approvals, timesheet approvals, etc."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power Automate in the desktop version is web scraping because you can do a lot with it. I work in retail and you can study prices changes, which can give you a lot of information. The solution is no code which is a large advantage."
"The tool is very good at implementing automation within processes. It's saved us from doing a lot of manual processes."
"We have a good overview of our processes now thanks to Power Automate."
"The best feature of the tool is that it is generic, so it allows one to do as he wishes."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are the connectors, such as loops, which make things easier."
"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
"The process discovery could be a bit better."
"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."
"The solution could use some AI integrated features."
"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. "
"Kofax RPA could improve web-based automation and there should be a choice of what browser we can use, such as Google Chrome, instead of an inbuilt browser from Kofax RPA. Additionally, Kofax RPA is missing an orchestrator that other solutions have, such as UiPath."
"It's not as user-friendly as a solution such as UiPath, which is really easy to use."
"It would be great if it was able to integrate more with various other platforms. It would make development easier."
"The solution is difficult to customize. I would like to see more flexibility when it comes to using different kinds of activities."
"How long it takes to deploy will depend on how confident you are with your development. The development itself is not easy."
"Their OCR capabilities are not as evolved as the other tools."
"The OCR part or scanning of documents is missing."
"I've had issues with reordering columns. When I tried to do it, it seemed to take a long time, and then, later, it gave me some kind of error."
"The debugging tools require improvement as well as the monitoring which goes along with it."
