Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support
SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

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 support from SAP Process Orchestration is very helpful."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"SAP Process Orchestration is quite flexible in supporting various integration standards and protocols, and it's fulfilling all our needs."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"SAP is now one of the leaders in integration."
"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"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 most valuable feature is the robotic process."
"The pricing of the solution is quite good."
"The end user only has to click once to preserve the entire email conversation."
"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"It's a good product."
"The scalability of Kofax is very handy, because with a few clicks you can have your scalable environment up and ready and it is not so complex to configure the entire environment."
 

Cons

"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"The solution isn't meant to scale when high-volume transactions are in play; the scalability could improve."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"It requires some maintenance."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The negative side is that UiPath has a really large community on the RPA side, and Tungsten RPA doesn't have any community for the developer side, which is a red flag for us and for customers."
"Kofax needs to create a community where developers have the opportunity to donate to it. The education surrounding this solution should be better."
"For additional features, I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."
"The solution needs to be scalable."
"The HR and IT areas of the product need to be improved."
"This product has room for improvement in support of airplanes and aviation."
"The product has some constraints and performance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
"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."
"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 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."
"The solution’s license is not expensive."
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
