A powerful solution for custom scripting but .NET knowledge is required
Knowledge of .NET is required to effectively use the solution or it can be complicated. I was able to train customers to use the solution if they had some .NET experience. The solution should offer a lightweight version that includes the OCR or document scanning and does not include the entire enterprise package with custom scripting.
Mahmoud Alyabroudi - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-use solution that supports multiple integrations
The product is really good, and it is easy to use. It comes with multiple integrations. The solution keeps up with the trend of Microsoft Copilot and AI. The tool's digital mailroom feature can handle documents from multiple sources. This includes incorporating documents from scanners, multifunctional devices, email attachments and various importers. Kofax TotalAgility's OCR capabilities process structured, semi-structured, and unstructured documents. Additionally, it supports both on-demand requests and batch scanning. The main feature I find exceptional about Kofax TotalAgility is its ease of use. While many business process management tools offer similar features, the solution stands out for its simple setup for KPIs and easy configuration of processes and forms. Additionally, it provides auto-generated forms. The solution was also easy to integrate with existing systems and workflows. The tool provides insights into document extraction and classification, including confidence percentages. The system can automatically proceed or route documents for validation based on these metrics. In HR systems, Kofax TotalAgility enables the creation of workflows for employee requests, such as leave approvals, based on predefined criteria like tenure or behavior. Similarly, KPIs can be integrated into customer care to monitor agent performance, tracking metrics like ticket volume and resolution times.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is very powerful because it allows for custom scripting."
"The automated version of the vendor invoice management is great."
"Being able to have accurate extraction is most valuable. It has machine learning and other tools to make the extraction more accurate."
"We use it to capture documents coming through our product and mobile channels and make them available for our business to access and email. We use it to automate the email workflow in our applications, pull the documents, and email them to the users."
"The enterprise and capturing feature of OpenText is its valuable feature. As we have integrated CRM with OpenText."
"It allows you to image capture, scan documents and use machine learning to automatically index and tie them."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."
"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
 

Cons

"It can be more user-friendly, and it should also have more reporting capabilities. There are also a few other things that need improvement."
"I would say what most of the document management solutions are lacking is smartness to detect the duplicate storage of the documents"
"We are using it to improve the image and the documentation for the cases. And sometimes, some cases have more than fifteen different types. We use some tools as fixed standard analysis and provide information to support the different types to take some decisions and help in an automated process. We choose the case type and subtype DNS scanning documents from the data entry up."
"If something is handwritten and attached to an email, it doesn't capture the information correctly."
"The setup is medium complexity."
"Knowledge of .NET is required to effectively use the solution or it can be complicated."
"The area for improvement primarily centers around licensing concerns rather than technical issues. Captiva, intended for larger clients, poses challenges for medium and small businesses due to licensing costs. The current licensing model is based on volume, such as purchasing a volume for one million dollars per year for scanning. This pricing structure may be prohibitive for companies with constrained budgets. Another aspect requiring attention is the mobile capture feature, which, although experiencing recent enhancements in intelligent document processing through AI, could benefit from further improvements. Specifically, there is room for enhancement in enabling users to efficiently capture documents using their smartphones."
"The pricing for Kofax TotalAgility could be more attractive, particularly the cloud version of the solution which was offered to my company. This is its area for improvement."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it."
"The one thing I would like to see more of right now: is a simplified form creation. That would be the most significant improvement I would like to see in their product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Some customers say the solution can get costly because it requires licenses or enterprise packages."
"OpenText is an expensive solution."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
