Pros
"Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features.""It is a scalable and versatile solution.""The product’s flexibility is valuable.""The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources.""The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right.""The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature.""Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking.""From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface."

"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems.""The product saves time and resources.""Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low.""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 most valuable feature is the robotic process.""It is stable and scalable.""The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks.""The drag and drop functionality is quite good."

Cons
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult.""Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved.""The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved.""The product is not suitable for application integration.""I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms.""Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before.""The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue.""The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Informatica PowerExchange Cons →

"The solution could use some AI integrated features.""The product needs more AI capabilities.""This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release.""I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface.""The scalability has room for improvement.""I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support.""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. ""The solution needs to be scalable."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "An annual package license fee is required."
  • "The cost of PowerExchange is reasonable. It does not rely on complicated formulas or unrealistic equations. The pricing model is straightforward. There is one component, and real-time integration is included. Some other solutions require purchasing additional modules or third-party plugins for this capability."
  • "It's expensive. In fact, nobody would buy any product of Informatica if the price was the only consideration. It costs money, and it doesn't come cheap, but it provides value for money in many ways."
  • "There is a need to pay towards the licensing cost of the product. It is an expensive product."
  • "Many users don't prefer to use the product, considering the high costs attached to the licensing part of the solution."
  • "The product is not very expensive."
  • More Informatica PowerExchange 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."
