Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"you want to do modeling with the old notation form, ours was EPC, you can use the same object in the BPMN because the database is built in a way that you can use both things. So you only have to define it once, and if the notation form is BPMN and those kind of activities, you can use the same EPCs, so there is a connection between them.""The most valuable feature in the latest versions is the connect portal, where you can do very simple modeling using the web-based portal.""Fully-reportable database over Visio.""BPA, the modeling tool, is the main module used because of our need for documentation.""The shared repository allows for cross-functional cooperation instead of doing things in a silo. You can operate cross-functionally and really work end-to-end, instead of dividing everything up on a functional basis.""The capability to integrate all information of the business and to generate simulations of processes. It can analyze the model of operations quickly.""Good at controlling the workflow and relevant key processes.""​It is a well-featured, functional product."

"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document.""Data extraction and auto-classification are great features.""Kofax TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features.""The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development.""Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence.""It's not so complex to design what you need to.""Kofax TotalAgility is stable.""It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."

Cons
"I had a hard time with ARIS's access and licensing policy. It requires you to pay for each step you want to take forward with the solution.""With ARIS BPM, the script creation is quite cumbersome. With version ten, we needed our developers to do scripting.""Sometimes, ARIS BPA breaks down, and its stability can be improved.""​The usability. Others tools are easier to manage without same complexity that ARIS has.​""I use it strictly for developing the business process model. I don't use it for the actual automation. I do that with Vtenext. I have standardized on Vtenext, and I don't use ARIS BPM anymore. The Vtenext UI is just as good, and it is much more tightly coupled to the underlying object model. I can get more done in one session with Vtenext rather than first going to ARIS BPM, then importing, and having to edit it for tight coupling.""The tool must provide more documents.""The product is difficult to use for someone without prior knowledge of working with it. It requires a certain level of administration training.""I could use more icons and other graphical elements.​"

"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution.""Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it.""The one thing I would like to see more of right now: is a simplified form creation. That would be the most significant improvement I would like to see in their product.""Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions.""TotalAgility needs to improve communication with ECMs or other file storage systems because TotalAgility does not have file storage. A good improvement would be to create file storage or integrate with other file storage tools that are currently available.""Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code.""Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts.""They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."

  • "The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."
  • "It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
  • "Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
  • "It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
  • "The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
