We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One advantage of Azure Data Factory is that it's fast, unlike SSIS and other on-premise tools. It's also very convenient because it has multiple connectors. The availability of native connectors allows you to connect to several resources to analyze data streams.""It is easy to integrate.""The scalability of the product is impressive.""The data copy template is a valuable feature.""From my experience so far, the best feature is the ability to copy data to any environment. We have 100 connects and we can connect them to the system and copy the data from its respective system to any environment. That is the best feature.""The data factory agent is quite good and programming or defining the value of jobs, processes, and activities is easy.""When it comes to our business requirements, this solution has worked well for us. However, we have not stretched it to the limit.""The two most valuable features of Azure Data Factory are that it's very scalable and that it's also highly reliable."

"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.""The OCR was quite stable and flexible.""The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services.""It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism.""The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems.""You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it.""The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks.""The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."

Cons
"There's space for improvement in the development process of the data pipelines.""If the user interface was more user friendly and there was better error feedback, it would be helpful.""In the next release, it's important that some sort of scheduler for running tasks is added.""Some of the optimization techniques are not scalable.""Data Factory's monitorability could be better.""The pricing model should be more transparent and available online.""Snowflake connectivity was recently added and if the vendor provided some videos on how to create data then that would be helpful.""We are too early into the entire cycle for us to really comment on what problems we face. We're mostly using it for transformations, like ETL tasks. I think we are comfortable with the facts or the facts setting. But for other parts, it is too early to comment on."

"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint.""This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release.""Its documentation is not widely available on the web. They should work on the availability of its documentation. In Automation Anywhere, there is a feature called Discovery Bot that automatically records the process steps and suggests a possible bot. I am not sure if such a feature is available in Kofax. If it is not available, it will be very good to have this feature. ""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.""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 product needs more AI capabilities.""Exception handling needs to be improved."

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."
