We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of IBM Business Automation Workflow is cost management.""This product is tightly integrated with the RPA automation process.""The most valuable feature is automation, which is quite strong and we are quite happy with it.""It has had a positive effect on decision-making in my organization. It helps us with our dispute process.""No matter what somebody's technical experience level is, the tool can start adding value immediately. Even if that is just an analyst who doesn't have any technical background, they can use some of these no quote accelerators to get things from ideation to deployment in a matter of minutes.""One of the most valuable features is the way that they are adapting to the market. Initially, it was doing only workflow. Now it has started bringing all the other components like rules within the workflow and then the integration with RPA.""It's a flexible solution.""IBM has spent a lot of time on the connections between the rules engine and its other product, the core BPM platform. They've really centralized the suite as one offering now."

"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer.""Essentially, Kofax TotalAgility as a whole is quite nice. As of now, we've only been able to use and explore its document classification and extraction capabilities. We haven't explored and used the case management capability yet, but the scan and capture capabilities we've been using heavily and those are quite good. Our solutions are mainly around those areas of Kofax TotalAgility. We haven't explored the product a lot, but the capabilities we've explored are good.""Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence.""Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding.""One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document.""Kofax TotalAgility is stable.""Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document.""What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."

Cons
"IBM Business Automation Workflow is not a very user-friendly solution.""The setup and installation process could be made easier.""Sometimes, we feel like we are not getting the full features of the content management capabilities.""I would like to see more streamlined install and provisioning; preferably containerized IBM BPM would be helpful.""The development UI is sometimes a little slow.""The initial setup is actually a really complicated process.""Requires a lot of customization code writing which could be reduced.""I feel that the features are not user-friendly."

"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers.""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.""There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing.""The pricing for Kofax TotalAgility could be more attractive, particularly the cloud version of the solution which was offered to my company. This is its area for improvement.""The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better.""Lacks sufficient inbuilt features.""They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement.""Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution has saved us time."
  • "There is still a relatively high total cost of ownership to actually implement, support, and stand up solutions."
  • "Nowadays, clients are looking at pricing as one of the major factors. For IBM products, they always think it is expensive for them. We are still educating our clients on the IBM FlexPoints licensing."
  • "When you compare with Laserfiche and M-Files, IBM is expensive."
  • "Licensing varies by use-case."
  • "IBM Business Automation Workflow has a flexible pricing mode, but the price is expensive. The price of the solution reflects the quality of the solution which is very high. The technical support is an additional cost."
  • "Our license is on a three-year term."
  • "It is on the expensive side, but it provides excellent supportability and an ecosystem that is proven to be a great fit for our organization."

  • "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."
