AI compliance integration elevates data quality and decision-making

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

"Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which allows the integration of the European Artificial Intelligence Act into our processes."
"Using Precisely improves data quality, which can lead to a 30% increase in revenue and boost net income by 20% to 25% if implemented correctly."
"The solution is scalable."
"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."
"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."
"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."
"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."
"The product saves time and resources."
"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."
"Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low."
 

Cons

"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."
"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."
"The product has some constraints and performance issues."
"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."
"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."
"Exception handling needs to be improved."
"The process discovery could be a bit better."
"The solution needs to be scalable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"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."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"The pricing model for automation solutions like Automation Anywhere, UiPath, and Microsoft Power Platform is subscription-based, where costs are calculated based on factors such as the number of hours used and the scale of automation required.......With Kofax, you purchase a license upfront, and that's all you need. You can create as many automation workflows as you require without additional costs for individual use cases."
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
"The solution’s license is not expensive."
