Kofax Capture Reviews & Product Details

KOFAX Capture is very extensive and can be scaled quite well. It can automatically capture data based on OCR and ICR which is amazing. Once the setup of the software is done correctly, It can process documents quite well. Capture is also very good at classification of different document types based on their structure. I love the feature as it will classify Invoice, quotes, Dnotes or any other documents that are setup in backend. Capture also lets you generate custom Separator sheets per document type. this is a simpler way that you will insert the printed version of the separator sheets in between different types of documents based on their document types and Capture will separate it for you after scan. Ready to Index. I have used in in the pst, Implemented it and trained users and admins on how to configure the application. Currently I don't use it.

It has a learning curve. You need to click a lot of buttons to sometimes to achieve something small. Usually the problem comes when the network changes and an error pops up. Online support database is not that extensive so I have to use all my networking and KOFAX admin knowledge to solve an issue. In many cases I had to re-Install the Client module to solve the error.

KOFAX do provide comprehensive documentation and trianing. My suggestion is to get trained first. It is not a plug and play application. It is also quite expensive and not for individuals. The application is for corporates trying to extract data from their stale important documents and digitize on the way.

Data Capture and Digital Archiving of important documents.

I love the ease of setting up simple projects with Capture, but that it can be very complex for complex projects. Capture has so much to offer and is the name in business document indexing.

Capture can be quite expensive and the licensing can be tough to work through, pricing-wise. Also, without training and documentation, learning the suite can be daunting.

We scan thousands of documents everyday and send them to dozens of locations all over the company, while indexing hundreds of pieces of metadata. Capture helps us ensure that the right documents get to the right place, tagged with the right data. We process our company invoices (AP) for finance, archive documents for historical purposes, maps, engineering drawings, contracts, and many more. We have seen so many departments go digital with our help.

I like the ease of scanning and editing through Kofax. It is simple and fast. You can edit your settings for different types of documents and save them for easy access later. I'm pretty disappointed that my organization decided to go with a different program from now on.

Mainly my issue has been with the IT group at my organization not knowing how to fix the occasional bug in the program. If we had access to professionals who knew it better, it would be easier.

Make sure you get a contract that includes support from Kofax Capture. Don't just rely on your company's IT group to fix things for you.

Kofax allowed me to scan documents directly into my agency's database. I was able to scan, change resolution and edit prior to the document being sent to the database. It gave a lot of options for metadata to be entered in.

Easy to train users to use, workarounds available for most issues that may arise.

Archaic interface. Hard to upgrade, not any real configurability, OCR is impossible to program.

I would vet out all possible vendors first. Kofax makes a lot of promises, but can't seem to deliver on them. The upgrade process is very difficult and arduous.

Regulatory and Compliance requirements to have documents on file and available for view at any time.

You can easily capture and organize things like receipts, business cards, gift cards, etc so that they aren't taking up space in your wallet, and you can edit documents in their scanning process (crop tool is very nice).

Editing interface is a little slow, you cant seem to change file type,

It helps me aggregate receipts for jobs.

A very good solution for business management.

Software quality and easy to use.

It is difficult to name cons.

Maybe it's instructions on training for work in the software.

But in general, all enjoy :)

Everyone really like the program and they do not want something else.

Consulting

Kofax is a platform for multi-channel data capture and process automation. It is a powerful tool set for pulling costs out of bureaucracies. Bureaucracy is inevitable when you are using other people's money to accomplish big goals. The various solutions in the Kofax platform allow you to improve, eliminate or automate a huge amount of the information exchange tasks in big organizations. In addition to it's unequaled performance in the Accounts Payable processing area, you can add KTM to automatically classify thousands of document types and digitize your entire mailroom operation!

Due to the vast number of ways to extend and expand the use of Kofax Capture it can get expensive and complicated. As organizations see the fast ROI of scan-to-archive projects they often move to scan-to-process operations without first getting the training needed to effectively implement and measure success. When you don't look at the savings Kofax can seem expensive, but don't kid yourself...the status quo is rarely as free as it appears!

Make sure to use a system agnostic data capture tool if you cannot easily limit your data sources and data consumers.

Never start projects that have not identified measurable success metrics to justify the costs.

Just completed a project that uses KTM to eliminated the use of manual document separator sheets, automate indexing and vastly increase the document handling speed and capacity of a large Human Services delivery client. Additionally, it uses the probabilistic learning capability of KTM to give them process agility like they have never seen before. Capturing new document and form types is now a simple task rather than a lengthy project.

Kofax Capture is a software suite of tools, solutions, and utilities that allow information to go from useless to powerful in a few short clicks. Kofax has the ability to ingest information from many different sources such as email, directories, web services and scanners and intelligently categorize and scrape information from these sources. From there, information can easily be massaged and put into practically any format for inclusion into major document management systems such as FileNet, Onbase, and Sharepoint while also supporting multiple text and database formats such as XML, HTML, and CSV. The addition of Kofax VRS on top of the Capture suite to clean up images coming in to Kofax is yet another benefit that makes this one of the best capture tools out there.

Kofax Capture can get expensive very quickly. Licensing is charged per concurrent workstation and per image, which is further multiplied if you take advantage of the Capture Transformation Modules which greatly increases the abilities of Kofax but at an additional tax.

The biggest business use for Kofax Capture is handling Accounts Payable scenarios. In many business cases, 85-90% of invoices can be automatically identified, filed, and placed in the hands of proper business decision makers all within a few minutes of the document becoming available to Kofax. Any structured document in a standardized form can benefit almost immediately utilizing Kofax Capture and even unstructured documents with a bit of training can benefit from this software.

Kofax is great for scanning on our large Fujitsu scanner. We use it in conjunction with Laserfiche to scan in documents , it’s really easy to configure and has lots of options

Sometimes diffucult to reinstall when re imaging a pc that has this installed already

We can configure scanning with lots of options before saving to our network locations

Es una herramienta de captura de metadatos a traves de anclas .Debes configurar ciertas cosas y realizar plantillas para ayudar al sistema a encontrar mejor los metadatos.

La realización de plantillas previas. Se hace muy costoso y a veces no funciona bien.

Una vez que esta configurado funciona bastante bien

I love how quick it is to scan in information quickly and accuratly for interoffice communications

Sometimes it is hard to keep documents separate and requires rescanning of entire batches

It helps us keep our old system business in a easy to read digital format

newer version allowed to scan in color, black and gray scale, double side/single sided and easy to rescan single pages or multiple pages.

older version does not allow to scan in color or gray scale.

scan medical records electronically

Easy for anyone to scan documents for Imaging.

At times when a mistake can happen by entering a incorrect date.

Kofax Capture is able to scan and save every document regardless of you IT ability.
