Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment.""The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases.""The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."

More SAS Access Pros →

"Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low.""The solution is scalable.""Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools.""The drag and drop functionality is quite good.""The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks.""The best part of Kofax is that they have a whole concept.

Cons
"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted.""The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner.""I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."

More SAS Access Cons →

"Kofax RPA could improve web-based automation and there should be a choice of what browser we can use, such as Google Chrome, instead of an inbuilt browser from Kofax RPA. Additionally, Kofax RPA is missing an orchestrator that other solutions have, such as UiPath.""There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product.""The product needs more AI capabilities.""Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution.""The product has some constraints and performance issues.""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.""I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface.""I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing model is complex and is based on modular packages as well as the size of the applicable environment."
  • "The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."
  • More SAS Access 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."
