Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a good tool for automation.""It is easy to use. We have enabled our resources who don't have a background in automation to be certified and trained, then implement this product within a very short period of time, as it is very user-friendly.""It's not inclusive, in terms of automation, you can just do it standalone, in its own silo. It's not going to force your existing system or teams, your admin teams, to create new IDs for you or even force them to create new services or APIs for you or expose something from there. They can just keep the way they are doing it right now, but you still automate it.""The solution’s performance is good.""The solution is scalability.""The good stuff about IBM is the fact that it's very easy to use, there are very nice and smart AI tools within the licensing that you don't have to pay any access. Moreover, it's more precise and more secure.""The most valuable feature is the ability to automate mundane tasks. This improves efficiency, reliability, etc. You can form critical operations which can be highly automated.""If you have a business process, and once you have automated that process, you have a readily available workflow in place."

"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 handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc.""The most valuable features are workflow and process automation.""You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it.""The product provided all the security controls that we asked them.""The product saves time and resources.""The pricing of the solution is quite good.""It is stable and scalable."

Cons
"I would like to have more flexibility in connecting the platform with third-party systems.""We are looking to see how it can connect with various interfaces seamlessly, through APIs.""The scalability of the solution can be challenging.""Extensibility is the key, especially in terms of the Recorders feature that we have. That should be browser independent. Enhance it because some people have Chrome, some have Internet Explorer, etc. Also, integration with PDFs: Not just the ability to read information from PDFs but the ability to write information from PDFs, make it secure, sign it, etc. Finally, if they can allow a token exchange inside the tool itself, that would help.""We would like a decreased need for customer support.""Stability could be better.""IBM should provide specific solutions for specific problems, like templates for invoicing processes, or general templates for creating efficient processes.""The time it takes for approvals, and risk analysis could be faster."

More IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Cons →

"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind.""This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release.""The interface could be better from a usability standpoint.""I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface.""The technical support must be improved.""The solution could use some AI integrated features.""The product has some constraints and performance issues.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "IBM licensing is annual and based on Virtual Processor Cores (VPC). This provides flexibility as part of the containerization environment."
  • "The license is paid annually."
  • "The product has a yearly licensing fee."
  • "The pricing is reasonable for this solution."
  • "I rate the pricing ten out of ten. So, the pricing is very good for me."
  • "The product is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
  • "There is a free trial for one month, so you can use it to run your payloads or proof of concept. After that, you can pay for the license on a monthly or annual basis."
  • "IBM RPA is cheaper than other tools."
  • More IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) 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."
