A powerful solution for custom scripting but .NET knowledge is required
Knowledge of .NET is required to effectively use the solution or it can be complicated. I was able to train customers to use the solution if they had some .NET experience. The solution should offer a lightweight version that includes the OCR or document scanning and does not include the entire enterprise package with custom scripting.
PrashanthR - PeerSpot reviewer
Great with recognition and provides a high level of confidence in terms of extraction capabilities
When it comes to machine print, this is an excellent solution with features you don't find in other tools. When dealing with handwritten text they have provided some A2iA locators that require a separate license. Even after implementing that, the handwritten text extraction was not great. Microsoft Azure does better at text extraction. If an organization is looking for OCR without the need to extract anything, then I would suggest a product such as Textract or another free software. If data extraction is needed for additional processes then I would recommend Kofax. I rate this solution eight out of 10

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use it to capture documents coming through our product and mobile channels and make them available for our business to access and email. We use it to automate the email workflow in our applications, pull the documents, and email them to the users."
"Being able to have accurate extraction is most valuable. It has machine learning and other tools to make the extraction more accurate."
"The solution is very powerful because it allows for custom scripting."
"The automated version of the vendor invoice management is great."
"The enterprise and capturing feature of OpenText is its valuable feature. As we have integrated CRM with OpenText."
"It allows you to image capture, scan documents and use machine learning to automatically index and tie them."
"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"Essentially, Kofax TotalAgility as a whole is quite nice. As of now, we've only been able to use and explore its document classification and extraction capabilities. We haven't explored and used the case management capability yet, but the scan and capture capabilities we've been using heavily and those are quite good. Our solutions are mainly around those areas of Kofax TotalAgility. We haven't explored the product a lot, but the capabilities we've explored are good."
"The product is really good, and it is easy to use. It comes with multiple integrations. The solution keeps up with the trend of Microsoft Copilot and AI."
"It is user-friendly and has good documentation. It's good for developing communication and has a lot of the APIs needed for this purpose. There aren't a lot of software options available from this time period; this is the only one from 2013 that has this concept of microservices."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
 

Cons

"The setup is medium complexity."
"Knowledge of .NET is required to effectively use the solution or it can be complicated."
"The area for improvement primarily centers around licensing concerns rather than technical issues. Captiva, intended for larger clients, poses challenges for medium and small businesses due to licensing costs. The current licensing model is based on volume, such as purchasing a volume for one million dollars per year for scanning. This pricing structure may be prohibitive for companies with constrained budgets. Another aspect requiring attention is the mobile capture feature, which, although experiencing recent enhancements in intelligent document processing through AI, could benefit from further improvements. Specifically, there is room for enhancement in enabling users to efficiently capture documents using their smartphones."
"We are using it to improve the image and the documentation for the cases. And sometimes, some cases have more than fifteen different types. We use some tools as fixed standard analysis and provide information to support the different types to take some decisions and help in an automated process. We choose the case type and subtype DNS scanning documents from the data entry up."
"It can be more user-friendly, and it should also have more reporting capabilities. There are also a few other things that need improvement."
"If something is handwritten and attached to an email, it doesn't capture the information correctly."
"I would say what most of the document management solutions are lacking is smartness to detect the duplicate storage of the documents"
"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
"Room for improvement would be better OCR functionality in terms of Arabic OCR. There should be better accuracy."
"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"The one thing I would like to see more of right now: is a simplified form creation. That would be the most significant improvement I would like to see in their product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OpenText is an expensive solution."
"Some customers say the solution can get costly because it requires licenses or enterprise packages."
"The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
