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 feature is real-time streaming.""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.""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 product is very user-friendly."

"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.""The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services.""The pricing of the solution 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.""The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things.""The solution is scalable.""It is stable and scalable.""The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."

Cons
"The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation.""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.""Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving.""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 product needs more AI capabilities.""The interface could be better from a usability standpoint.""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.""The technical support must be improved.""Exception handling needs to be improved.""The process discovery could be a bit better.""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.""I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
  • "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."
  • More Spring Cloud Data Flow 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."
