Solution reduces time-to-value; high ROI

Fivetran has room for improvement in data pipeline observability. The Fivetran logs are fairly basic, compared to, for example, the insight Fivetran gives into helping users understanding the performance of data pipelines. So I think their observability into the pipeline itself could be improved. In addition, Fivetran is in the very early stages of allowing other companies to access its metadata API, but that's something that could use improvement, and I know that they're working on right now. We use a separate tool for "reverse ETL", which is the opposite of what Fivetran does; it pushes data from your data warehouse back out to business applications. If Fivetran pulls data from those same applications, they should also enable users to push it back. I would love to do both ETL and reverse ETL in the same tool. It would be nice if Fivetran offered both their regular offering plus the reverse ETL option as well.

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

"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."

"The simplicity and scalability are the strongest features of Fivetran."

"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."

"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."

"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."

"You can manage all of your connectors individually, which gives you a very good ability to trace which one of your ETL processes is running and when."

"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."

"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's very easy and quick to set up. It also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface. For GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."

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

"The product saves time and resources."

"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."

"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 best part of Kofax is that they have a whole concept. It's one product, but also has extra elements that can be integrated."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"The documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums."

"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."

"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."

"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."

"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."

"Their pricing has increased over the years, so it's not seen as an advantage anymore."

"There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high."

"We use a separate tool for "reverse ETL", which is the opposite of what Fivetran does; it pushes data from your data warehouse back out to business applications. If Fivetran pulls data from those same applications, they should also enable users to push it back. I would love to do both ETL and reverse ETL in the same tool."

More Fivetran cons

"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."

"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."

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

"I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."

"We've faced a few challenges with Tungsten RPA. One issue I recall was with sending emails that needed multiple attachments. At the time, the feature only allowed attaching one file at a time. We discussed this with Tungsten RPA, and they planned to add multi-attachment capability to their backlog. I'm not sure if it's been upgraded since then. The solution's desktop automation is tricker."

"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."

"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."

"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is reasonably expensive"

"In the first year, we were given a very good discount. It was approximately 20,000 Euros per year. In the third year, we purchased credit for two years and the price was 33,000 Euros per year."

"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."

"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."

"The solution is affordable."

"I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."

"I've heard that the license for HVR is a bit costly compared to its competitors, but since it's reliable and efficient, I think the customer shouldn't be bothered about the cost."

"I don't have the exact information, but I know it is high, and it is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost for what we're doing. We're always open to doing things cheaper, so we might potentially implement a different solution."

More Fivetran pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

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

"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."

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