We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature.""IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable.""This solution is extremely flexible and scalable."

More IBM InfoSphere Information Server Pros →

"It is stable and scalable.""It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism.""The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks.""The most valuable features are workflow and process automation.""Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools.""This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems.""The product saves time and resources.""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."

Cons
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing.""There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required.""Their technical support needs improvement.""This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight."

More IBM InfoSphere Information Server Cons →

"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly.""Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution.""The solution could use some AI integrated features.""RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind.""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. ""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 technical support must be improved.""The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing cost of IBM InfoSphere Information Server depends on how many users there are."
  • More IBM InfoSphere Information Server 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."
