Brent Wesler - PeerSpot reviewer
Maximizes document processing control with versatile OCR engines while anticipating needed auto-learning updates
The initial setup for new users may require some time, but the process is quick to learn, and the benefits are readily apparent. Kodak Info Input Solution offers significant versatility and control by allowing multiple OCR engines without needing knowledge-based models. This solution extends beyond invoices and procurement to handle various documents with extensive customization options. KODAK Info Input Solution does not require building knowledge-based models, unlike Ancora software. This flexibility and ease of use, especially in scenarios with simple invoice processing, make it a very useful tool. The extensibility and provision for customization, such as the ability to write JavaScript, increase its appeal.

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 KODAK Info Input Solution offers fast workflows for extracting information from even the largest documents."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution's customer support is the best."
"The most valuable feature of KODAK Info Input Solution is the open intelligence piece, the ability to consume five different OCR engines."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution offers fast workflows for extracting information from even the largest documents."
"The pricing of the solution is quite good."
"Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."
"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 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 most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"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."
 

Cons

"The most significant area for improvement in the KODAK Info Input Solution is its ability to support custom definitions and auto-learn."
"Integrating KODAK Info Input Solution with other software, such as Laserfiche, presents challenges due to inadequate documentation and an unintuitive web services interface."
"The most significant area for improvement in the KODAK Info Input Solution is its ability to support custom definitions and auto-learn."
"Integrating KODAK Info Input Solution with other software, such as Laserfiche, presents challenges due to inadequate documentation and an unintuitive web services interface."
"Exception handling needs to be improved."
"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."
"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 solution needs to be scalable."
"I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Although KODAK Info Input Solution's pricing is competitive within the industry's consumption-based model, its approach is overly complex."
"The pricing of KODAK Info Input Solution in Mexico is very expensive, and the government's purchasing process requires convincing many stakeholders."
"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."
"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"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)."
"The solution’s license is not expensive."
"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
