Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support

SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

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 product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."

"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."

"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."

"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."

"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."

"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."

"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."

"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"Initially, the most effective features for process automation were website automation related to web auditing, SharePoint implementations, and automated management of information."

"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."

"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."

"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."

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

"The solution is scalable."

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

"It is stable and scalable."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."

"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."

"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."

"The solution needs to move to the cloud."

"Some configurations can be a little tricky."

"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."

"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."

"The cloud capability features need improvement."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"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."

"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."

"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."

"We are on version 10.6, and the current version seems to be 11. Kofax is cycling the capabilities of the product very quickly. One of the difficulties has been to actually keep up with the capabilities as they've evolved. On the one hand, it is good that the product is getting better, but on the other hand, it is difficult to implement the best way with a product that is evolving constantly."

"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."

"The process discovery could be a bit better."

"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."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."

"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"The solution is highly-priced."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"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)."

"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."

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

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

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."

"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."

"The solution’s license is not expensive."
