It lets us create models so we can generate real-time predictions and insights for a our clients
Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing. I would like it if we could set the solution up to process and respond to real-time events. For example, say I want to configure an app to run based on the mileage a car has driven, and I configure the metering system, so the event occurs every 15 days. Let's say we want to automatically send an alert to EMS, police, etc. if a car gets into an accident. Transformation Manager is more of a conventional tool for reporting, extracting volume, bulk loading, etc. but there should be more provisions for dealing with real-time events, creating some insights, and dealing with perishable data. Ten minutes after the accident, the data doesn't have value. It has value before you saved the person.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a reliable solution."
"It is among the best, even if not widely known."
"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."
"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."
"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 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 product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."
"The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services."
"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."
 

Cons

"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."
"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."
"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'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."
"The solution needs to be scalable."
"The product has some constraints and performance issues."
"The process discovery could be a bit better."
"The technical support must be improved."
"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."
"The solution could use some AI integrated features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
"The solution’s license is not expensive."
"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
"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 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."
