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 monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."

"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."

"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."

"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."

"It is a scalable solution."

"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."

"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"The solution is scalable."

"Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."

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

"The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."

"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."

"The product saves time and resources."

"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."

"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"The cloud capability features need improvement."

"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."

"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."

"It requires some maintenance."

"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."

"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."

"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."

"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

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

"The product has some constraints and performance issues."

"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."

"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."

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

"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."

"We are on version 10.6, and the current version seems to be 11. Kofax is cycling the capabilities of the product very quickly. One of the difficulties has been to actually keep up with the capabilities as they've evolved. On the one hand, it is good that the product is getting better, but on the other hand, it is difficult to implement the best way with a product that is evolving constantly."

"I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not an expensive solution."

"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."

"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 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."

"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)."

"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."

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

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

"The solution’s license is not expensive."
