Has a plug-and-play model and provides good robustness and scalability

The solution's community support could be improved. I don't know why the Spring Cloud Data Flow community is not very strong. Community support is very limited whenever you face any problem or are stuck somewhere. I'm not sure whether it has improved in the last six months because this pipeline was set up almost two years ago. I struggled with that a lot. For example, there was limited support whenever I got an exception and sought help from Stack Overflow or different forums. Interacting with Kubernetes needs a few certificates. You need to define all the certificates within your application. With the help of those certificates, your Java application or Spring Cloud Data Flow can interact with Kubernetes. I faced a lot of hurdles while placing those certificates. Despite following the official documentation to define all the replicas, readiness, and liveliness probes within the Spring Cloud Data Flow application, it was not working. So, I had to troubleshoot while digging in and debugging the internals of Spring Cloud Data Flow at that time. It was just a configuration mismatch, and I was doing nothing weird. There was a small spelling difference between how Spring Cloud Data Flow was expecting it and how I passed it. I was just following the official documentation.

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

"The dashboards in Spring Cloud Dataflow are quite valuable."

"The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like."

"Overall, Spring Cloud Data Flow is a really good solution and a lot cheaper than a lot of infrastructure provided by big companies like Google or Amazon."

"The most valuable feature is real-time streaming."

"There are a lot of options in Spring Cloud. It's flexible in terms of how we can use it. It's a full infrastructure."

"The best thing I like about Spring Cloud Data Flow is its plug-and-play model."

"The product is very user-friendly."

More Spring Cloud Data Flow pros

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

"The solution is scalable."

"Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low."

"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."

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

"We use Kofax effectively and I'm happy with it."

"The scalability of Kofax is very handy, because with a few clicks you can have your scalable environment up and ready and it is not so complex to configure the entire environment."

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

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications."

"I would improve the dashboard features as they are not very user-friendly."

"The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation."

"Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving."

"The documentation on offer is not that good."

"The solution's community support could be improved."

"The visual user interface could use some help; it needs improvement."

"On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."

More Spring Cloud Data Flow cons

"The scalability has room for improvement."

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

"The process discovery could be a bit better."

"It needs a free training portal for anybody on the internet to use so that they can get an idea of what the possibilities are."

"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."

"The solution needs to be scalable."

"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."

"Exception handling needs to be improved."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you want support from Spring Cloud Data Flow there is a fee. The Spring Framework is open-source and this is a free solution."

"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."

"The solution provides value for money, and we are currently using its community edition."

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

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

"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."

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

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

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

"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)."

"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
