A cloud solution that has a lot of connectors, but it should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples
Smaller customers who want to integrate with other systems don't need too much in-house expertise in terms of technology. They can hire consultants who can implement this solution for them, and they don't have to maintain any infrastructure. For a smaller setup, it is a go-to integration system wherein they don't need a lot of expertise or infrastructure. The solution's UI is pretty intuitive and easy. It is good for smaller integration use cases. I think it would be a problem for bigger use cases. Overall, I rate TIBCO Scribe a six out of ten.

A n automation solution with OCR and scanner
Tungsten RPA features enhanced desktop automation capabilities, improved Active Directory integration, and upgraded recorder functionality. These updates will be available in the upcoming release. Firstly, The first level of support needs enhancement. When you open a ticket with Tungsten, they inquire about various aspects of the issue. The initial support level should involve conducting a Webex meeting to address and assess the reported issues within the environment directly. This would involve thoroughly checking the issues and logs, among other relevant factors. It may require a minor configuration adjustment that could be resolved promptly during the session. There are several challenges associated with Tungsten RPA. Firstly, there is often a perception issue among employees who may believe that RPA is intended to replace their jobs rather than enhance efficiency. This misconception can hinder the adoption of RPA solutions in the workplace, as employees may resist the implementation of automation technologies. Secondly, there have been challenges related to integrating Tungsten RPA with applications built on Java. Many issues have been addressed and resolved in V11.3, thus improving the compatibility of Tungsten RPA with Java-based applications and major challenges.

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 of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."
"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."
"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."
"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."
"The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services."
"If you don't have a computer science background, you can easily use Tungsten RPA because this is a low-code platform and it is easier than other RPA tools."
"The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."
"The product saves time and resources."
 

Cons

"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
"Automating systems based on Citrix, where using AI or OCR-based capture of a screen, presents challenges."
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
"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."
"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The solution could use some AI integrated features."
"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."
"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
"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."
"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
"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."
"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 solution’s license is not expensive."
"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."
