Featured Reviews

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 stability of the product is very good; there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's reliable."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"The product saves time and resources."
"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."
"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."
"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."
"It is a stable product."
"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, and if you take the whole package with the extra products you can digitize it using RPA and also by using the other products they provide."
"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."
 

Cons

"The company has come out with a new version, SAP Cloud Integrator, which is not as good as the older version."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"We have experienced latency and reliability issues when using large amounts of data."
"The main issue is that these products, which evolved from Process Integration to SAP Process Orchestration, will be replaced and will have no support in the future."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"The user interface of SAP Process Orchestration should be more modern to enhance its appeal. It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical; only the consultants that have technical skills or development skills are able to manage this product."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."
"Concatenation of error messages."
"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."
"There have been a lot of issues we have had that have taken weeks, if not months to fix and the support is not satisfactory."
"Automating systems based on Citrix, where using AI or OCR-based capture of a screen, presents challenges."
"The process discovery could be a bit better."
"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."
"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
"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."
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
"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."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"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."
"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
