Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It makes it easy to collect data from different sources.""Data Factory itself is great. It's pretty straightforward. You can easily add sources, join and lookup information, etc. The ease of use is pretty good.""Data Factory's best features are simplicity and flexibility.""It's extremely consistent.""The feature I found most helpful in Azure Data Factory is the pipeline feature, including being able to connect to different sources. Azure Data Factory also has built-in security, which is another valuable feature.""For developers that are very accustomed to the Microsoft development studio, it's very easy for them to complete end-to-end data integration.""ADF is another ETL tool similar to Informatica that can transform data or copy it from on-prem to the cloud or vice versa. Once we have the data, we can apply various transformations to it and schedule our pipeline according to our business needs. ADF integrates with Databricks. We can call our Databricks notebooks and schedule them via ADF.""What I like best about Azure Data Factory is that it allows you to create pipelines, specifically ETL pipelines. I also like that Azure Data Factory has connectors and solves most of my company's problems."

"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.""Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low.""The most valuable features are workflow and process automation.""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 flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things.""The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services.""The solution is scalable.""The most valuable feature is the robotic process."

Cons
"We require Azure Data Factory to be able to connect to Google Analytics.""The deployment should be easier.""Azure Data Factory should be cheaper to move data to a data center abroad for calamities in case of disasters.""The support and the documentation can be improved.""Lacks a decent UI that would give us a view of the kinds of requests that come in.""In the next release, it's important that some sort of scheduler for running tasks is added.""Sometimes I need to do some coding, and I'd like to avoid that. I'd like no-code integrations.""The initial setup is not very straightforward."

More Azure Data Factory Cons →

"The scalability has room for improvement.""Exception handling needs to be improved.""The technical support must be improved.""The product needs more AI capabilities.""Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution.""The solution needs to be scalable.""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.""There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "In terms of licensing costs, we pay somewhere around S14,000 USD per month. There are some additional costs. For example, we would have to subscribe to some additional computing and for elasticity, but they are minimal."
  • "This is a cost-effective solution."
  • "The price you pay is determined by how much you use it."
  • "Understanding the pricing model for Data Factory is quite complex."
  • "I would not say that this product is overly expensive."
  • "The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model, where you pay for what you consume."
  • "Our licensing fees are approximately 15,000 ($150 USD) per month."
  • "The licensing cost is included in the Synapse."
  • More Azure Data Factory Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
  • "Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
  • "I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
