Effective for data discovery and supports multiple authentication methods, not just username and password
For data discovery, we create datasets. The most frequently used datasets are featured on the dashboard. Users can create their own if their requirements aren't met by the most frequently used datasets. We also create data requests, and owners can approve these requests, which adds a process layer to accessing particular datasets. So, it has been effective for data discovery in our company. I use different functionalities within the tool. I use Collibra Catalog for metadata management or Collibra Lineage for data governance. Once configured, data in the Catalog will be automatically updated, reducing the need for manual maintenance. So, the automation feature has positively impacted our data management tasks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data lineage capability is valuable as it shows how different sources are connected and how data flows, which is crucial for projects like migrations. Moreover, data lineage visualization in Collibra Catalog aids our data governance initiatives."
"Collibra Catalog has significantly enhanced data governance and compliance for our team, primarily through its valuable feature of endpoint lineage enabling visual representation of the data."
"Collibra Catalog's best feature is the data quality checker."
"We have had no complaints about the stability."
"Collibra Catalog is simple to use and user-friendly for those who are not technically inclined since it is easy to find while also easy to see data lineage diagrams."
"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."
"The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."
"The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."
"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."
"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 features are workflow and process automation."
 

Cons

"The tool's overall functionalities need to improve since, nowadays, many tools, from a business perspective, are easy to use."
"I'd like to see more integration with other reporting sources."
"Collibra Catalog could improve its automation to increase the efficiency of the software."
"A key area for improvement in Collibra Catalog lies in its integration capabilities, particularly with a broader range of sources."
"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."
"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."
"The process discovery could be a bit better."
"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."
"The solution needs to be scalable."
"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."
"The product needs more AI capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think they can bring a few more features and align better with other quality products."
"Collibra Catalog is fairly priced - I would rate their pricing seven out of ten."
"Collibra offers a per-user licensing model."
"The product is highly priced compared to other vendors."
"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
"Kofax's prices are pretty 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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing model for automation solutions like Automation Anywhere, UiPath, and Microsoft Power Platform is subscription-based, where costs are calculated based on factors such as the number of hours used and the scale of automation required.......With Kofax, you purchase a license upfront, and that's all you need. You can create as many automation workflows as you require without additional costs for individual use cases."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
