Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version.""It is a seamless and sophisticated tool.""It is a very robust system.""The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently.""The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time.""It is user friendly, it's not complex.""Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions.""The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the robotic process.""The drag and drop functionality is quite good.""The best part of Kofax is that they have a whole concept. It's one product, but also has extra elements that can be integrated.""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.""Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low.""The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services.""This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."

Cons
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult.""A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace.""There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations.""Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time.""Could be more user friendly in the development area.""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.""The communication protocols could be improved."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks Cons →

"We are on version 10.6, and the current version seems to be 11. Kofax is cycling the capabilities of the product very quickly. One of the difficulties has been to actually keep up with the capabilities as they've evolved. On the one hand, it is good that the product is getting better, but on the other hand, it is difficult to implement the best way with a product that is evolving constantly.""There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product.""The interface could be better from a usability standpoint.""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.""RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind.""I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support.""This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release.""I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
  • "It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."
  • "Its price policy has changed quite a lot in the last two years. It was extremely expensive previously. Nowadays, you can buy a license for BusinessWorks for €2000. Looking at what you get in return in terms of support, TIBCO community, and stability, it is fairly reasonable. It is not too expensive."
  • "I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."
  • "Licensing scheme is too rigid"
  • "I don't have the prices of the products, but I know that TIBCO is not a cheap solution. I think that this solution is more suitable for large companies because I don't think that small- or medium-sized companies would have the money for this solution. WSO2 has the community version for free, so many of the smaller companies can use it. I'm not sure what the prices are for support, though, so I suppose the support for WSO2 is not cheap either."
  • "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."
  • "I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
  • More TIBCO BusinessWorks Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
  • "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."
  • "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)."
  • "Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
  • "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."
  • "I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
