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

"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."

"The solution is easy to use."

"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."

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

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

"The solution is stable."

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

"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"It is stable and scalable."

"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."

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

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

"The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."

"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."

"The solution is scalable."

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

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."

"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."

"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."

"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."

"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."

"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."

"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."

"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"The solution needs to be scalable."

"The product has some constraints and performance issues."

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

"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."

"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."

"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."

"The process discovery could be a bit better."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"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."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

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

"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 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."

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
