Offloads processes on the server side but needs better installation syntax

One area for improvement is the installation process. Another point could be the syntax, as it sometimes involves using syntax names that are not intuitive. For example, to calculate the difference between two dates, the general syntax in SAS is called the data difference or data net function. However, another name is used, such as NF and INK. Without knowledge of SAS programming, it becomes unclear what these functions mean. It is not good to define function names this way.

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

"A key feature allows us to enhance job performance by offloading processing to the server side, rather than processing on the server itself."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its amazing capabilities in regard to data handling."

"The solution offers very good data manipulation and loading."

"The solution is very stable."

"A key feature allows us to enhance job performance by offloading processing to the server side, rather than processing on the server itself."

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

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

"The solution is scalable."

"The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services."

"Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."

"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."

"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."

"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."

Cons

"The initial setup had issues, and even after using it for about one year, it was still not fixed."

"One area for improvement is the installation process."

"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."

"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."

"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."

"The product needs more AI capabilities."

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

"Exception handling needs to be improved."

"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."

"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."

"The solution could use some AI integrated features."

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

"Automating systems based on Citrix, where using AI or OCR-based capture of a screen, presents challenges."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive program."

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

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

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

"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."

"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."
