In 10 minutes, I can do work that would take me two or three hours in another solution.

We use Monarch for account reconciliation. We have several accounts from last year that carry over into this year, so we do reconciliation to see if there are any outliers compared to last year and if the system is automatically picking up for renewals. Monarch is used for minor reconciliation work…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Monarch lets you quickly extract in your preferred format."

"It is stable and scalable."

"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."

"Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."

"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."

"The most valuable feature is the robotic process."

"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."

"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."

"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"I rate Altair Monarch seven out of 10 for affordability. Recently, the pricing model changed from end-user licensing to a concurrent licensing model."

"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."

"The technical support must be improved."

"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 scalability has room for improvement."

"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."

"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."

"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."

"The process discovery could be a bit better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."

"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)."

"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."

"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."

"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."

Overview

Datawatch Monarch is an application that runs on your Windows desktop and as soon as you drop a file or web page onto the canvas it automatically begins to extract into analytics-ready rows and columns. You can also connect to all major relational, big data, and over 30 other sources, but often the most important information you need is locked away in existing reports or difficult sources that seem impossible to use without re-keying the data.

Tungsten RPA offers an efficient solution for streamlining business processes through Robotic Process Automation (RPA), which utilizes software "bots" to automate tasks like data entry and form filling. With Tungsten RPA, organizations can enjoy increased efficiency as repetitive tasks are automated, freeing up human resources for more strategic work. Moreover, the software ensures improved accuracy by performing tasks consistently and error-free, leading to reduced costs and enhanced compliance with regulations. Key features include a low-code design environment for easy workflow creation, intelligent document processing for handling unstructured data, automated process discovery, and flexible deployment options suitable for on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environments. Tungsten RPA presents a comprehensive solution for optimizing operational efficiency and driving business success through automation.
