A tool that can be useful for small integrations and large integrations
It is a pretty scalable solution. You can use the tool for small integrations and large integrations. From a use case perspective, all the people, around 3,000 employees, use the tool in my organization since some form of the product's integration capabilities are used in the company and have their own requirements of interfaces. There are no plans to increase the use of the solution in my company. My company has a couple of managers and developers to do the coding and mapping in SAP PI/PO. If I talk about the APAC region, I have almost eight to ten people who take care of the tool's complete technical area.

Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection
My use case for the product is in the finance domain.  You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it.  The product should improve desktop automation, which is hard to configure. It needs to have…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"The performance of data processing has increased."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."
"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."
"The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."
"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."
"Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low."
 

Cons

"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"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."
"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"The solution needs to be scalable."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
"The product needs more AI capabilities."
"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."
"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."
"I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."
"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"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."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"The solution’s license is not expensive."
"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
"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)."
"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."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
