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 solution offers very good data manipulation and loading."

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

"The solution is very stable."

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

"The solution is really good and it's rather budget-friendly."

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

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

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

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

"The pricing of the solution is quite good."

"The tool's most valuable feature is web browser automation, which makes it easy to interact with any website. We can assemble a robot in a few hours with web automation, depending on its complexity."

"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."

Cons

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

"Something that could improve is writing SQL to integration studio because it is not that straightforward. There should be better integration with other software."

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

"One area for improvement is the installation process."

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

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

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

"Exception handling needs to be improved."

"For additional features, I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."

"The product needs more AI capabilities."

"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."

"Its documentation is not widely available on the web. When there is a problem, the channels through which I can get a solution are limited."

"Kofax needs to create a community where developers have the opportunity to donate to it. The education surrounding this solution should be better."

"There have been a lot of issues we have had that have taken weeks, if not months to fix and the support is not satisfactory."

"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."

"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."

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

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

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

"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."

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

"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."
