Offloads processes on the server side but needs better installation syntax

One area for improvement is the installation process. Another point could be the syntax, as it sometimes involves using syntax names that are not intuitive. For example, to calculate the difference between two dates, the general syntax in SAS is called the data difference or data net function. However, another name is used, such as NF and INK. Without knowledge of SAS programming, it becomes unclear what these functions mean. It is not good to define function names this way.

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 solution offers very good data manipulation and loading."

"The solution is very stable."

"A key feature allows us to enhance job performance by offloading processing to the server side, rather than processing on the server itself."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its amazing capabilities in regard to data handling."

"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."

"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."

"The solution is scalable."

"Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low."

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

"Initially, the most effective features for process automation were website automation related to web auditing, SharePoint implementations, and automated management of information."

"The product saves time and resources."

"The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."

Cons

"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."

"One area for improvement is the installation process."

"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."

"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."

"The initial setup had issues, and even after using it for about one year, it was still not fixed."

"Exception handling needs to be improved."

"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."

"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."

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

"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."

"The technical support must be improved."

"The product has some constraints and performance issues."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive program."

"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."

"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."

"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."

"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

"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."
