Finds security and customization features impressive, although cost concerns persist
My experience with Palantir Foundry and Azure has been good. Palantir Foundry is costly, but Azure is open, which allows for easier experimentation. Being a closed product, Palantir Foundry is difficult to practice offline unless we have an enterprise edition. However, it is very secure compared to other platforms. Palantir Foundry's best features include security, built-in features, low-code, no-code platform, and ease of use. The collaborative workspaces within Palantir Foundry contribute to team efficiency and project outcomes through seamless operation. The ease of customization is particularly notable. I have worked with the data lineage feature in Palantir Foundry, which comes by default. We simply need to tick the checkbox and make necessary configuration changes within the system itself. We do not need to procure another lineage platform as Palantir Foundry has its own built-in features for data lineage, data governance, and data security. The lineage feature helps enhance our data management practices by allowing us to understand the origin of data, track all activities happening on the data, identify users and consumers, and monitor how it flows across the system. This makes it easier to generate reports based on the lineage database. The predictive analytics capability within Palantir Foundry impacts financial forecasting strategies through its AIP functionality, which includes numerous pre-built models, LLMs, and data science application libraries. Using the AIP library within Palantir Foundry helps us develop quick resolutions for predictive models and analytics.

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

"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"It's scalable."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"Great features available in one tool."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The predictive analytics capability within Palantir Foundry impacts financial forecasting strategies through its AIP functionality, which includes numerous pre-built models, LLMs, and data science application libraries."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."
"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the robotic process."
"The product saves time and resources."
"The best part of Kofax is that they have a whole concept. It's one product, but also has extra elements that can be integrated."
"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."
"It is stable and scalable."
"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."
 

Cons

"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"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."
"Automating systems based on Citrix, where using AI or OCR-based capture of a screen, presents challenges."
"The product has some constraints and performance issues."
"The product needs more AI capabilities."
"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"I don't have complete insight at this point in time, but I would guess that Kofax is a lot less expensive than Automation Anywhere. I would expect its license to be on a yearly basis."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
"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."
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
"The solution’s license is not expensive."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
"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)."
