Eliminates replication and allows you to use only one database, speeding up performance and reducing amount of storage

The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades. As a company, you're either hiring or paying an outsourcer to do that, and you have to manage it, keep up with the updates to the hardware, software, and the operating system. It's very expensive because there's a lot to control and take care of.

Tungsten RPA features enhanced desktop automation capabilities, improved Active Directory integration, and upgraded recorder functionality. These updates will be available in the upcoming release. Firstly, The first level of support needs enhancement. When you open a ticket with Tungsten, they inquire about various aspects of the issue. The initial support level should involve conducting a Webex meeting to address and assess the reported issues within the environment directly. This would involve thoroughly checking the issues and logs, among other relevant factors. It may require a minor configuration adjustment that could be resolved promptly during the session. There are several challenges associated with Tungsten RPA. Firstly, there is often a perception issue among employees who may believe that RPA is intended to replace their jobs rather than enhance efficiency. This misconception can hinder the adoption of RPA solutions in the workplace, as employees may resist the implementation of automation technologies. Secondly, there have been challenges related to integrating Tungsten RPA with applications built on Java. Many issues have been addressed and resolved in V11.3, thus improving the compatibility of Tungsten RPA with Java-based applications and major challenges.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use this solution for all kinds of communications like RFC, BAPI, IDoc, connecting with the orders, accounts, finance, data stuff, banking, everything."

"Currently, there is a Hadoop-based infrastructure with several engineers to maintain the data, and now, using SAP Replication Server, it has become automatic and requires fewer people to put data in the data warehouse."

"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."

"This product has a catalog with the location of all the objects which were replicated, and it's very simple to maintain."

"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."

"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."

"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."

"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."

More SAP Replication Server pros

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

"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."

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

"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."

"I would definitely recommend this solution."

"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."

"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."

"The end user only has to click once to preserve the entire email conversation."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"It's complex. It's necessary to understand a little about infrastructure, like network LAN and VLAN environment."

"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."

"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."

"Setup was a little complex."

"There is a need to improve performance in high transactional processes."

"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."

"It's a very expensive solution."

"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."

More SAP Replication Server cons

"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."

"Kofax RPA needs to improve integration with SAP and Microsoft. The professional services offered by the tool's team is below par. Its licensing needs to be more modular."

"The HR and IT areas of the product need to be improved."

"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."

"Kofax needs to create a community where developers have the opportunity to donate to it. The education surrounding this solution should be better."

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

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a very expensive solution."

"You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."

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

"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's prices are pretty reasonable."

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

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

"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."

"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."
