Easy matching and reconciliation of data

The initial setup was easy for the data warehousing concept. But for a person who is new to ETL and warehousing concepts, it may take some time. If someone is familiar with these concepts, they could understand and learn the tool quickly. However, compared to other tools, the UI is complex. It would be helpful to have a better UI and documentation for new users. As of now, there is a challenge in learning the Compose tool for new users altogether. Qlik Compose was deployed on-premises. But the servers, like the SQL servers were maintained on the cloud—the managed instances.

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

"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."

"It is a scalable solution."

"The technical support is very good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."

"As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem. It's good."

"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."

"One of the most valuable features was the ability to integrate multiple source systems that mainly used structured IDBMS versions."

"I like modeling and code generation. It has become a pretty handy tool because of its short ideation to delivery time. From the time you decide you are modeling a data warehouse, and once you finish the modeling, it generates all the code, generates all the tables. All you have to do is tick a few things, and you can produce a fully functional warehouse. I also like that they have added all the features I have asked for over four years."

"It can scale."

More Qlik Compose pros

"The pricing of the solution is quite good."

"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."

"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."

"The solution is scalable."

"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."

"The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."

"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."

"It is stable and scalable."

Cons

"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."

"When processing data from certain tables with a large volume of data, we encounter significant delays. For instance, when dealing with around one million records, it typically takes three to four hours. To address this, I aim to implement performance improvements across all tables, ensuring swift processing similar to those that are currently complete within seconds. The performance issue primarily arises when we analyze the inserts and updates from the source, subsequently dropping the table. While new insertions are handled promptly, updates are processed slowly, leading to performance issues. Despite consulting our Qlik vendors, they were unable to pinpoint the exact cause of this occurrence. Consequently, I am seeking ways to optimize performance within Qlik Compose, specifically concerning updates."

"I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved."

"It would be better if the first level of technical support were a bit more technically knowledgeable to solve the problem. I think they could also improve the injection of custom scripts. It is pretty difficult to add additional scripts. If the modeling doesn't give you what you want, and you want to change the script generated by the modeling, it is a bit more challenging than in most other products. It is very good with standard form type systems, but if you get a more complicated data paradigm, it tends to struggle with transforming that into a model."

"The solution has room for improvement in the ETL. They have an ETL, but when it comes to the monitoring portion, Qlik Compose doesn't provide a feature for monitoring."

"There could be more customization options."

"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."

"There should be proper documentation available for the implementation process."

More Qlik Compose cons

"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."

"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."

"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."

"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."

"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."

"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."

"The scalability has room for improvement."

"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."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While they outperform Tableau, there's room for improvement in Qlik's pricing structures, especially for corporate clients like us."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the solution a six."

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

"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."

"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)."

"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."

"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."

"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."
