Featured Reviews

Choon Hwa Khoh - PeerSpot reviewer
A java based platform, which is used for application integration and has a user-friendly GUI
I haven't encountered any drawbacks with TIBCO BusinessWorks so far. Despite being a new user for the past year, everything has been smooth, including development and deployment. Challenges with TIBCO BusinessWorks were mainly due to unclear documentation, but these were overcome by referring to comprehensive documents and raising tickets with TIBCO support.

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 solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"It is a very robust system."
"We are using only plugins for the database and SAP."
"The most valuable feature is the integration."
"Good performance and reliability."
More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros
"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 most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"Initially, the most effective features for process automation were website automation related to web auditing, SharePoint implementations, and automated management of information."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."
"The product saves time and resources."
"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."
More Tungsten RPA pros
 

Cons

"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."
"The cost has room for improvement."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
More TIBCO BusinessWorks cons
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"Exception handling needs to be improved."
"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."
"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."
"The technical support must be improved."
"Automating systems based on Citrix, where using AI or OCR-based capture of a screen, presents challenges."
"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 process discovery could be a bit better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."
"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."
"The solution is too expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions out there, particularly because there are so many open-source competitors on the market. I don't know the exact numbers, however."
"The product is not cheap."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The cost depends on the components required."
More TIBCO BusinessWorks 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."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"The solution’s license is not 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)."
"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 give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
"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."
