FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.
PrashanthR - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important."
"The architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"The flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business."
"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."
"It has been a stable solution so far since it meets our needs, including data modeling, which we need to do before we embark on analyzing and optimizing the business processes."
"I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features."
"The number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
"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."
"It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
 

Cons

"The product must provide more videos and training materials."
"In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly."
"If they could build some scripts or some configuration to get it up and running in a Docker environment, that would be good. I didn't find anything when on Docker, however, maybe they have something and I didn't see it yet."
"It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers."
"I would also like a very easy to use form builder."
"The primary issue regarding the Camuto platform is its high cost of training. This is why I haven't discussed it extensively, as compared to other products that are more affordable in terms of developer training."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack."
"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code."
"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."
"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."
"Camunda has a free service as well as a commercial service. We are using the free service."
"I use the open-source free version."
"There is an open-source version available, that in its core features (workflow and decision engine, modeler) is exactly the same as in the enterprise version."
"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."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"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."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
