Tungsten RPA vs UiPath comparison

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

"The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services."

"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 feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."

"It is stable and scalable."

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

"Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."

"The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."

"Our consultants have been able to go through the training videos and pick up the ability to build their own automations."

"The core RPA is the best feature because of how easily we can get started. The other most valuable feature is DU or Document Understanding. It doesn't require huge setup and implementation times. When you look at a pure machine learning model, it requires a lot of expertise. Though UiPath is not purely plug-and-play, it's almost like plug-and-play because it can be up and running very quickly."

"The cloud deployment option is particularly attractive to some customers for its flexibility and scalability, along with customary thin client advantages."

"The solution is user-friendly and has great training materials available."

"The user community is pretty great. You can find an answer to basically any query."

"REFramework... is a pre-defined template built with proper exception handling and logging activities. Those aspects help developers to develop code properly."

"The training available in UiPath is really awesome and the material makes you automation-ready so that one can work on real-time projects."

"I do all my developing in Studio. I develop and publish into the orchestrator cloud, and then I try and run everything unattended. So, Studio is a very valuable feature for me."

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

"The solution needs to be scalable."

"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."

"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."

"The process discovery could be a bit better."

"The product has some constraints and performance issues."

"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."

"Some features are limited for Orchestrator. For example, the AI features could be more flexible and easily accessible. Every time I want to use some new features, we have to do a deep dive into this technology."

"Although improvements have been made, such as auto-healing, there is room for improvement. Changes in the UI can break automations. If you upgrade from Windows 10 to 11, you may need to rewrite some of those UI selectors completely. That is probably the biggest weakness that I can think of."

"When it comes to debugging, there is some improvement needed for UiPath compared to other RPA tools. There are features to edit the workflow or content of the automation file while we are debugging. For example, we have 10,000 lines of code that we have integrated by 10 different users. So, there is one integrated code and you are debugging it. After some time, you might find a line which is not an error. You may have forgotten to remove it or change the value to your desired criteria. It is really a pain to stop the entire debug session and just edit it, then start again at zero. It will do the same steps again just to reach that level or step where you were actually stuck previously. Whereas, in different automation tools, whether you are on the findings step or in-between a debug session, you can actually edit that information. This is good because sometimes the developer also forgets to add or remove certain values in-between a long code. I think this should be improved in UiPath. This should already be in consideration because I have been in touch with UiPath a couple of times because of this."

"For UiPath Orchestrator and Studio, if I want to watch the performance of my machines at a specific time or time range, there is no option for that. There are options for one day or week, but there is no option to specify a date such as from Nov 1 to Nov 3. This option should be there for queues and monitoring."

"UiPath needs to improve Orchestrator and its back office licenses."

"The pricing of particularly on the bot licenses is placed to maximize revenue forUiPath and is not in the best interests of the customer. For example, if I have 150 robots, our utilization of that is about 27% as my demands come in spikes. Most of the robots sit there doing nothing, and I paid for them."

"They need to keep fixing the bugs and improving the tool. For example, if an Excel file is running and I'm doing an automation on that Excel file, it doesn't complete. There are some bugs, and fixes and improvements are required."

"Some of the releases have been a little shaky."

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

"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."

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

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

"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."

"On a scale where one represents the most expensive and 10 is cheapest, I would rate UiPath at about two."

"The cost of UiPath is reasonable."

"I would rate the cost of UiPath eight out of ten with ten being the most expensive."

"Compared to other automation tools, UiPath is expensive."

"The setup cost is minimal as far as other options are considered."

"It is cost-effective and has an affordable price."

"Do your research, the infrastructure piece is important to understand before purchasing."

"This solution is priced less compared with other products."
