Room For Improvement

Talend faces installation, support, and performance issues, with users seeking improvements in usability, scalability, and documentation accuracy.
Tungsten RPA needs interface improvements, better scalability, AI features, enhanced integration, and support for complex processes and legacy systems.

Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration.

Talend's pricing offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness but presents high setup costs and limited mid-tier options for enterprise users.
Tungsten RPA offers flexible subscription pricing with unlimited workflows, varying costs by project needs, and requires upfront payments.

Tungsten RPA offers seamless integration, robust automation, and ease of use with advanced tools for document and process management.
Having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial.

Featured Reviews

Comprehensive documentation and smooth collaboration have transformed our development process
There are always areas for improvement. They have actually in the last 12 months done a lot of work on the UI. If you had contacted me at Christmas last year, the UI was really dated. Now, they have not finished cleaning it up or bringing it into a new flash version. But because it has such a simple design, it is actually so easy to use. They have taken a lot of the complexity out of it, so you just click on a button and it does it all for you. I think one weakness, which I might have worked around today, is spatial data. But that might change by Monday. That is again because there is so much functionality, actually the real weakness is they have got too much functionality, if that is a weakness. Because there are 10 ways to do everything, and each way has its own pros and cons, and you really have to make your decision about which way to implement it. When you have five developers or three developers doing something, it is very easy for three people to do the same thing three different ways. On the flip side, that is one of its amazing strengths, as you are not locked into a very rigid way of doing something. It means that a lot of our custom environments are fantastic because we can just plug it in a slightly different way. But because it does so much, it is a lot to get your head around the whole thing. We tend to focus on the small stuff that we are adding value to right now.

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.
