Kofax TotalAgility vs UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform

• Ease of use. The drag and drop configuration to create the processes makes the product easy to use and configure. Most of the icons are intuitive on what they are and how to use them. The use of the colored icons for each value also helps to know that that value is looking for.
• Forms. The capture forms are easy to create and maintain. A new field can be added to the Extraction group and then the capture form is regenerated and that field is automatically added to the form with all the proper attributes. If an additional check box or field is added to the form, that field stays when regenerated. This differs from KTA 6.0.
• Kofax has done pretty well integrating all the pieces of Kofax into one product. KC (Kofax Capture), KIC (Kofax Import Connector), KTM (Kofax Transformation Module with OCR), and workflow are all combined into KTA (Kofax Total Agility). This lets all of these features work together in one product. Kofax does keep adding more to the functions that maybe were left out original version. This makes Kofax Total Agility a robust product.

• UiPath is actually easy to learn, the training material is effective and to the point. UiPath certainly has the capabilities to automate manual repetitive tasks that involve any platform, with a stronger preference for websites.
• There is room from improvement when dealing with Excel automation, but the solution is to create Excel macros and have the robot to call it, making it a great team solution.

• Exception management within the platform can certainly be improved upon. If a job is suspended for any particular issue integrations can be put in place to attempt to handle them but it is kludgy and does not always work as anticipated.
• The administration interface is based on Microsoft Silverlight which limits it to certain versions of Internet Explorer and the interface has seen better days. Their other application, Kofax Kapow, has a much more mature and intuitive interface. This supposedly is being replaced in the next major iteration but I have doubts it will be successfully done.
• The product is expensive. It is also the Cadillac of workflow platforms with document transformation built in. In many cases the product can do what you want it to do but there may be other more cost effective platforms.

• Implementing image-based automation is quite challenging especially when you are working on the Client network using VDI.
• There can be many more activities that need to be provided so it can be further enhanced.
• If not possible to give the activities, then at least provide some paid activities like Abby OCR when it comes to the Optical Character Recognition.
• They have recently rolled out a course which is having contents for automating salesforce application, but no automation is required when you use sales force for development.
• Extension to Linux based Applications.
• Security can be further enhanced by providing different activities rather than basic Typesecurestring in order to control logging at the verbose level.

• Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive. Some customers have reported that using the KTA workflow has increased productivity and has a good ROI overall. The customers have not shared true numbers for me to give details.

• Very positive impact (mostly saving time).
• Improved the quality of your work. You can set the bot to do some quality checks (that is normally too time-consuming or boring to do) or to send out reports to monitor the work.
• Negative point is that: You need to be realistic about implementing a new project, it needs time and is not as easy as it looks. There will always be a little issue (for example, when you want the bot to run a macro or more complicated program) then you need a lot of testings to make sure everything works and all possible scenarios are considered.
