GouravSuri - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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 most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."
"The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."
"It is stable and scalable."
"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."
"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 pricing of the solution is quite good."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the robotic process."
 

Cons

"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The product has some constraints and performance issues."
"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."
"The technical support must be improved."
"I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."
"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."
"Exception handling needs to be improved."
"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The solution’s license is not expensive."
"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)."
"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
