Account Director at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Automates processes efficiently with cost-effective scaling and robust customer support

Web scraping is quite good since it offers a lot of possibilities. Another important feature for me is its compatibility with MBI, the Power that is ISEQUADO Centers. I appreciate the ability to scale and increase the number of bots or studios without additional expense. Automate's non-reliance on additional orchestrators makes it quite cost-effective.

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.

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 are still in the process of rolling it to production and tweaking it (our AD groups are a mess), but the improvements are priceless. Having users ID's created the same way every time without human error is the best part. We don't need to worry about why groups were not added, user rights not set to folders or missing a private folder being created, typos or just even knowing when things are done and logged."

"A great feature that you seldom see in these kind of systems is the ability to use a database as trigger to launch a task. This is something I asked for a few years ago and that was added."

"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."

"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."

"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."

"The most valuable features of Fortra's Automate include its FTP functionality and file manipulation capabilities."

"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."

"This tool has machine learning and voice recognition and computer vision, which are both quite useful aspects. These aren't available in other tools. It's a good addition to this tool and it gives the solution an edge on the market."

More Automate pros

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

"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."

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

"Initially, the most effective features for process automation were website automation related to web auditing, SharePoint implementations, and automated management of information."

"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."

"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."

"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."

"It is stable and scalable."

More Tungsten RPA pros

"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."

"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."

"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."

"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."

"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document."

"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."

"Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence."

"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."

More Tungsten TotalAgility pros

Cons

"I currently have three bugs open with them that I don't know if they are addressed in the new release."

"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."

"The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email."

"The workflow for variables could be better. The input and output of task-level variables could be made a little clearer in terms of passing those around from one task to another upon success, etc. Things like that could be a little easier potentially."

"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."

"There is room for improvement regarding cloud functionality; there are a few missing features, and the logging could be better, especially air logging. We can go into logging events and create our own task, but it would be nice if this were more detailed."

"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."

"Error messages should be better. For error status, there should be better documentation because a lot of times, error messages that you get are quite vague. For example, you get a message saying that the workflow has run into an unknown status, which is vague. It just tells you that it failed, but you don't know how or why it failed. It makes debugging difficult."

More Automate cons

"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."

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

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

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

"Kofax RPA could improve web-based automation and there should be a choice of what browser we can use, such as Google Chrome, instead of an inbuilt browser from Kofax RPA. Additionally, Kofax RPA is missing an orchestrator that other solutions have, such as UiPath."

"The scalability has room for improvement."

"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."

More Tungsten RPA cons

"Room for improvement would be better OCR functionality in terms of Arabic OCR. There should be better accuracy."

"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing."

"The pricing for Kofax TotalAgility could be more attractive, particularly the cloud version of the solution which was offered to my company. This is its area for improvement."

"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."

"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."

"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."

"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."

"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has gone up in price. The price of Fortra's Automate has increased since we first started using it. It does a lot but also costs a lot. It was a lot more affordable before Fortra owned the software."

"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."

"From a distributor's side, one of the biggest selling points is its price point. Without going into any numbers, compared to UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism, we're significantly cheaper. The main difference is that other competitors usually charge you per process. However, in Automate's case, it's priced per bot. So, a bot can run multiple processes at the same time, but you are only priced for a single bot."

"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."

"I believe the price falls within a reasonable range, which significantly influenced our decision regarding the product. This aspect is crucial for any technological solution, especially in our country where enterprises might be hesitant to invest heavily in something untested or uncertain about its practicality and potential returns."

"The pricing is quite reasonable. We can run the process with one bot. The limitation is at the server level because they have some resources, and sometimes that is enough. It isn't too expensive, so you can get a good return off of one, and you can also have a pack of five bots that is quite competitive."

"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

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

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

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

"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 cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."

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

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."

More Tungsten RPA pricing and cost advice

"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."

"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."

"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."

"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."
