Improves disaster recovery processes and offers an efficient CPU cycle optimization

Using BMC Data Management for IMS and DB2 on z/OS has greatly improved our database administration tasks. Although we don't test the database before production, we have experienced benefits in disaster recovery situations and capacity management. For instance, when facing capacity issues during peak transaction times, I've been able to quickly allocate additional resources to ensure smooth operations. This has been crucial, especially during times when the demand surges, such as peak flight hours.

Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection

I have worked with Microsoft Power Platform and UiPath. Kofax RPA offers a comprehensive solution with built-in capabilities for executing tasks like running Excel files and web automation without additional servers. They provide their browsers and extensions. For functions such as OCR, image processing, and data extraction, Kofax has built-in features powered by their engine, eliminating the need for subscriptions to external technologies like Microsoft Cognitive Services or Google Search. One of Kofax RPA's strongest features is its on-premise solution, which is particularly beneficial for organizations operating in regions with data regulations, such as the UAE.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BMC Data Management improved our data recovery process by simplifying it."

"I have worked with DB2's great features in the last five years. The IDAA feature transformed the vision of warehousing, business analytics, and big data at my bank. Besides the mainframe, I saw that this solution was evolutionary. It gives real-time information."

"The tool's most valuable feature is web browser automation, which makes it easy to interact with any website. We can assemble a robot in a few hours with web automation, depending on its complexity."

"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 flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."

"The solution is scalable."

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

"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."

"Initially, the most effective features for process automation were website automation related to web auditing, SharePoint implementations, and automated management of information."

Cons

"DB2 is a hard tool to grasp. It's hard for users to learn how to use it. It's not easy to see how it works."

"One area for improvement with this product could be in providing clearer guidance and tools for disaster recovery planning and execution."

"The scalability has room for improvement."

"Automating systems based on Citrix, where using AI or OCR-based capture of a screen, presents challenges."

"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."

"The product has some constraints and performance issues."

"It needs a free training portal for anybody on the internet to use so that they can get an idea of what the possibilities are."

"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."

"The solution could use some AI integrated features."

"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

"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."

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

"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."
