Efficient data warehouse automation with robust features, but may require enhancements in user-friendly self-service options and pricing flexibility for broader corporate appeal
It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it. When it comes to end users who may lack technical expertise, they are limited to toggling between existing developments. To empower end users to make critical changes without relying heavily on technical expertise, it would be beneficial to introduce more user-friendly features for development and modification. If it could incorporate correlation analysis capabilities into its platform, especially in a user-friendly manner, it would greatly enhance the tool's overall utility and make it an even more outstanding solution. There is a room for improvement regarding stability.

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

"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."
"It's a stable solution."
"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."
"It is a scalable solution."
"One of the most valuable features of this tool is its automation capabilities, allowing us to design the warehouse in an automated manner. Additionally, we can generate Data Lifecycle Policies (DLP) reports and efficiently implement updates and best practices based on proven design patterns."
"The most valuable is its excellence as a graphical data representation tool and the versatility it offers, especially with drill-down capabilities."
"The technical support is very good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"One of the most valuable features was the ability to integrate multiple source systems that mainly used structured IDBMS versions."
"Kofax RPA has allowed us to create a program in which the top 100 forms used across the organization are extracted and pushed into a database, from which any team globally can extract the information from those forms."
"It is a stable product."
"Kofax RPA has provided our organization with a lot of savings in many different areas and we have improvements in data quality."
"Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."
"It's a good product."
"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."
"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."
"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."
 

Cons

"There could be more customization options."
"It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it."
"My issues with the solution's stability are owing to the fact that it has certain bugs causing issues in some functionalities that should be working."
"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."
"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."
"For more complex work, we are not using Qlik Compose because it cannot handle very high volumes at the moment. It needs the same batching capabilities that other ETL tools have. We can't batch the data into small chunks when transforming large amounts of data. It tries to do everything in one shot and that's where it fails."
"I don't think Qlik can be used in a high-volume scenario. It didn't work for us."
"There should be proper documentation available for the implementation process."
"The solution could use some AI integrated features."
"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."
"Concatenation of error messages."
"For additional features, I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."
"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."
"We're not really happy with the outcome of one particular complex process."
"Its documentation is not widely available on the web. When there is a problem, the channels through which I can get a solution are limited."
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive."
"While they outperform Tableau, there's room for improvement in Qlik's pricing structures, especially for corporate clients like us."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the solution a six."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
"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."
"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)."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
