Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools.""The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things.""Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc.""It is stable and scalable.""The solution is scalable.""The most valuable features are workflow and process automation.""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 connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature.""Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices.""The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve.""We can connect Zapier with Zoho CRM for lead generation. I like the tool's drag and drop feature.""What's most valuable in Zapier is its simplicity, seamlessness, and smooth plug-in, so you won't need to build code for every action. I'm not a developer, but I can use Zapier.""Zapier handles everything under the sun that you would think you need in automation. It is the most mature integration platform and service on the market.""There are a few valuable features, like the stability that it comes with and also the number of features that it offers. I've used other services like Pabbly, but they don't offer similar numbers of applications that Zapier has or allows to integrate with – it's maximum.""The initial setup is pretty easy to do."

More Zapier Pros →

Cons
"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.""There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product.""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.""Exception handling needs to be improved.""I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support.""Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution.""I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface.""The process discovery could be a bit better."

More Tungsten RPA Cons →

"With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation.""Zapier could be a little faster, but that might not be possible. I would encourage Zapier to make more API endpoints for each application""It could support various languages along with Python.""Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was.""At the moment, they allow a limited number of apps. I look forward to getting more apps for each package.""I would like to see them improve the Quickbase integration. Currently, it only allows triggering actions when records are added, but it would be more useful if we could also trigger actions when records are modified or deleted.""My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy.""The pricing could be a little cheaper."

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."
  • More Tungsten RPA Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "There is a free plan that is, of course, limited. However, it allows you to understand and check true scenarios for a while."
  • "Think your Zaps through to make sure you don't use more Zaps than you need."
  • "It's very straightforward licensing. There's only one cost you have to pay, and if you want a relevant pricing plan, I think you have two or three different models or packages which include the number of notifications or Zaps, as they call it, that you can program."
  • "The price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."
  • "Zapier is a paid service. Its license renews monthly, and Zapier will downgrade your subscription to the free version when your credit card doesn't have funds. That significantly impacts your service because everything halts completely. Zapier doesn't have any hidden costs."
  • "Per task, there is a monthly plan involving 15 euros...Also, in different forms, they just give you the ability to use different features. They charge 18.58 euros for the first standard plan, which includes 750 tasks. So, it is about 25 cents per task."
  • "It's very affordable."
  • "The least expensive plan is $24 a month, and you can go all the way to $800 a month if you're a huge company using many tasks."

    Overview
    Tungsten RPA offers an efficient solution for streamlining business processes through Robotic Process Automation (RPA), which utilizes software "bots" to automate tasks like data entry and form filling. With Tungsten RPA, organizations can enjoy increased efficiency as repetitive tasks are automated, freeing up human resources for more strategic work. Moreover, the software ensures improved accuracy by performing tasks consistently and error-free, leading to reduced costs and enhanced compliance with regulations. Key features include a low-code design environment for easy workflow creation, intelligent document processing for handling unstructured data, automated process discovery, and flexible deployment options suitable for on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environments. Tungsten RPA presents a comprehensive solution for optimizing operational efficiency and driving business success through automation.

    Zapier is a tool for primarily non-technical users to connect together web apps.

    An integration between two apps is called a Zap. A Zap is made up of a Trigger and one or more Actions or Searches.

    Whenever the trigger happens in one app, Zapier will automatically perform the actions or searches in another app in order.

    Zaps are very lightweight and easy to set up. Zaps do not import or export old data (they only operate on new items created after the Zap is enabled). Zaps are also not kept in sync ("two way syncing") after the Zap is triggered.

    Zaps are deceivingly simple if you're used to dealing with complex and difficult integrations. Their simplicity is what enables anyone to create them.
