Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It is stable and scalable.""Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools.""The OCR was quite stable and flexible.""Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc.""This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems.""You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it.""The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."

"Being able to customize this is extremely helpful for us because we have other attended automation processes, and they can each be tailored to the needs of the business.""The queue feature is the most interesting to me because it allows us to work on a list of tasks in parallel on several robots.""The OCR engine is a valuable feature.""The democratization, automation, and attended automation, all of these are pretty good features. Those are all good value add to what it was there previously.""It has a lot of features, but the ones that I'm really interested in and focused on are the Automation Hub and the Task Capture tool that they have created. Automation Hub helps you in gathering a lot of ideas, and Task Capture helps subject matter experts in capturing the step-by-step processes. It helps them build their SOPs or a document system wherever it is not already available.""The most valuable feature of Studio is the ease of use for developers who do not have a technical background.""The way they stay on top of Orchestrator is really helpful because that has been the platform that controls everything. The dedication to that is pretty helpful. Every time there's a new release, it seems there are more and more features. It's also not hard to learn.""UI commands with minutes change in selector: The command works effectively in all environments."

Cons
"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.""The scalability has room for improvement.""I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support.""The product needs more AI capabilities.""RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind.""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.""The solution needs to be scalable.""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."

More Tungsten RPA Cons →

"There should be a click-event-update activity present in the UI Studio where we can click a link and the result should act as a button.""The operations need to be improved.""There is room for improvement in browser automation, particularly regarding access and success rates.""Some kind of code repository would be good. Other than that, everything is fine in UiPath. They improve it every quarter and bring something new.""There is a big room for improvement when it comes to mobile automation. The Find Element activity is not present in mobile automation. There are activities to extract data, but we don't have data scraping in mobile automation. These activities are available for UI automation of web applications, but they are not available for mobile automation, which is a drawback when working on mobile automation with UiPath.""VM was on the service for high density. It is finicky at times. The latest release is a lot more stable. However, I've had a two week production outage where DLLs weren't registered and someone from Vegas had to login for eight hours onto the fraud service to work it out. Even though they uninstalled and re-installed it, all the different apps still wasn't working. So, I have lost a bit of faith in it to be honest.""This solution needs improvement, especially in terms of continuing the process that is left in case of any kind of disaster that happens to the trimmers. If there is a state that can be maintained to removing the machines to another location and continue from there, it would be helpful. Right now, this is lacking.""The Orchestrator is in drastic need of improvement. Three or four years ago, the Orchestrator UI was very simple and comfortable to use but now, they have added so many features that it is difficult for new users to quickly understand it."

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."
  • More Tungsten RPA Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It costs much less and it does much more than the competitors' solutions."
  • "The pricing differs on the requirements. If there is a huge purchase, then we get a discount. There is not a fixed pricing of the product."
  • "If you want to do a demo trial, it is a 30 days free."
  • "The community edition is completely free. Then, people say, "There is nothing to lose, let me try it.""
  • "There are operational benefits in terms of time savings and user satisfaction of not having to do menial, repetitive tasks."
  • "Traditionally, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism are the biggest things competing against UiPath. Those are usually what most of the clients lean towards, if they see a cheaper licensing option. Clients choose UiPath because it's easier to deploy and learn within their teams."
  • "We saw ROI in 15 days."
  • "They give it away in the community edition for free, so I use it at home."
