Offers reliable data management and simple to use but requires more intuitive configuration

I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests. A lot of the time, the support asks the same questions repeatedly, which takes time. Usually, I solve my issue myself before they give me solutions. It seems like they do not really understand my problem, even if I translate what I want to say from Italian with tools like Google Translate. Sometimes it is very difficult to communicate with them. We have some Oracle support staff in Italy whom I can reach directly, which helps, but there seems to be a problem with the support requests. It is also an issue when different Oracle representatives handle my request at different times and ask me to explain the problem again despite it being written in the support request. This makes it very frustrating. Additionally, issues arise with product understanding. For example, in dedicated infrastructure, the Oracle staff handling the support request may not be familiar with the product or suggest solutions suitable for other infrastructures but not mine. Oracle Support should know the solutions that fit my infrastructure since they manage it, not me.

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

"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."

"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud. Instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."

"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."

"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."

"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."

"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."

"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The tool's most valuable feature is web browser automation, which makes it easy to interact with any website. We can assemble a robot in a few hours with web automation, depending on its complexity."

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

"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."

"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."

"The product saves time and resources."

"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."

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

"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."

"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."

"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."

"Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."

"Pricing is rather expensive. Oracle typically prices on the higher side, and there is scope for them to reconsider the price, especially since it is a cloud service."

"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."

"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."

"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."

"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."

"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."

"Automating systems based on Citrix, where using AI or OCR-based capture of a screen, presents challenges."

"We've faced a few challenges with Tungsten RPA. One issue I recall was with sending emails that needed multiple attachments. At the time, the feature only allowed attaching one file at a time. We discussed this with Tungsten RPA, and they planned to add multi-attachment capability to their backlog. I'm not sure if it's been upgraded since then. The solution's desktop automation is tricker."

"Kofax RPA could improve web-based automation and there should be a choice of what browser we can use, such as Google Chrome, instead of an inbuilt browser from Kofax RPA. Additionally, Kofax RPA is missing an orchestrator that other solutions have, such as UiPath."

"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."

"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."

"The product should improve desktop automation, which is hard to configure. It needs to have custom connectors. It is the only advantage that Microsoft Power Platform has over Kofax RPA. It has more than 800 custom connectors."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

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

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

"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."

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

"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)."

"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."

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