Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases.""The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases.""The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment."

More SAS Access Pros →

"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism.""The pricing of the solution is quite good.""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 is the robotic process.""It is stable and scalable.""The product saves time and resources."

Cons
"I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met.""The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted.""The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."

More SAS Access Cons →

"The product has some constraints and performance issues.""The technical support must be improved.""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.""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.""The scalability has room for improvement.""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.""The process discovery could be a bit better."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing model is complex and is based on modular packages as well as the size of the applicable environment."
  • "The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."
  • More SAS Access Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
  • "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."
  • "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's prices are pretty reasonable."
  • "There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
  • "Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
  • "I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
