Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize.""If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick.""The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful.""The technical support is excellent.""Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools.""In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features.""This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points.""The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."

"The OCR was quite stable and flexible.""Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools.""The drag and drop functionality is quite good.""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.""Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low.""The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things.""The most valuable features are workflow and process automation.""The ability to script information from websites is most valuable. It also seems to be fairly robust and reasonably easy to manage on a server-based deployment. We have a number of robots operating on the central server."

Cons
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable.""We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows.""Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics.""One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place.""The solution could use better documentation.""The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure.""We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive.""I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."

More SAS Data Management Cons →

"The scalability has room for improvement.""RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind.""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.""Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution.""I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support.""The interface could be better from a usability standpoint.""The process discovery could be a bit better.""This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "While it is even free for personal use on the cloud, it can be expensive for desktop installations and enterprise use."
  • "The tool is a bit expensive."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • More SAS Data Management 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."
