IBM Watson Discovery resulted more robust and performant, also the insights were much more interesting than just an AI search from Microsoft or a prompt for ChatGPT.
For starters, IBM Watson Discovery was very easy to use and set up. Google Cloud AI was more advanced in learning and navigating through it, in my opinion. Ironically, the free trial was the biggest selling point. We were trying on products, and it was faster to get started …
This is a unique application which provides automation comfortably and with the minimum of human interaction to create the perfect application for the client involved as generally there is a chance of someone else using the similar or slightly better tool
A edge of having a safe secure work environment where in organizations can make use of power of AI with no concern safe guard their data where IBM watson discovery provides hybrid cloud solution to mitigate the vulnerablity of data security.
To be entirely honest, in my review, I have used Elasticsearch in the past, but not in a way similar to that I am using Discovery, and I cannot honestly say that I can compare the two because I used Elasticsearch in infrastructure management and monitoring setup while using the …
Discovery differs from its competitors due to the better ease of implementation and the high level of natural language recognition, it is equal in integration resources such as API and workflow or process pipeline, but it loses in the price for a high volume of documents and/or …
In terms of performance, IBM Watson Discovery performs well and as expected compared to competitor offerings. Search works well Web crawl, content library creation, and 3rd party integration all possible The main driver for us is that we were already using other IBM …
IBM Watson Discovery for salesforce stacks up really well against the other products. It provides higher, better, and faster insight and capabilities than other options. We evaluated the return on investment and saw how great it would be to use for what we have. I think it has …
I have not found any other software solutions that can stack up against IBM Watson Discovery for Salesforce. This feature has proved nothing but beneficial for our bottom-line, as well as our customers'. I would recommend this solution to any company that heavily focuses on …
Kofax TotalAgility is a beast of a package that gives you a thousand ways to tackle a problem, but it may not be the best platform for your needs. It is more of an enterprise platform that integrates well with other systems with moderate development time. Other packages may be …
Whether using it as a standalone search tool, integrating with other IBM Watson products, or using the API to integrate with proprietary or third-party systems and applications, Watson Discovery addresses these and many other scenarios where document search is required -- understand- if here documents can be pdf, doc, txt files, websites, among other formats --, don't confuse Watson Discovery with EDRMS (Electronic document and records management system) software, Discovery goes further, allowing text search to be done within a context using natural language (NLU) and returning not only the search term but also insights and related issues. File indexing works very well, and training Discovery so that documents and technical terms are learned a bit of work, but it can be reduced by using some of the learning models already trained and available for use.
Less appropriate would be where the customer is mainly concerned in how fast they can get the work done due to the performance issues in Kofax TotalAgility. The customer needs to weigh the overall elimination of functions that were done manually and how long it takes them to do these functions. They have to consider the overall time, not just the act of launching the form and completing it. Many manual functions should be replaced with the automation in the workflow.
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.
I believe AI should be more flexible about providing data. However, it's understandable that you need to provide the details you need in a more specific and detailed way.
The interface could use more tweaking. Being new to the program, it was kind of hard to navigate.
Luckily, there was a customized feature of the dashboard that I could set up, and having something that you know where you are placed always feels familiar and comfortable.
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.
IBM Watson Discovery has the best user capabilities and easily transform business decision-making portfolio. The automation system saves time used in data analysis as opposed to manual research that consumes a lot of time. The visualization across the dashboard enables my team to interpret complex data and use it to make reliable marketing decisions.
Similar to all IBM Watson and Salesforce product solutions, the overall support would be a 10/10. Their provided FAQ's help with frequently experienced issues and if still unable to figure something out, their customer service representatives are always super responsive. With instant chat functions available, it is easy to ask a quick question rather than sitting on hold.
To be entirely honest, in my review, I have used Elasticsearch in the past, but not in a way similar to that I am using Discovery, and I cannot honestly say that I can compare the two because I used Elasticsearch in infrastructure management and monitoring setup while using the ELK stack (Elasticsearch - Logstash and Kibana).
Kofax TotalAgility is a beast of a package that gives you a thousand ways to tackle a problem, but it may not be the best platform for your needs. It is more of an enterprise platform that integrates well with other systems with moderate development time. Other packages may be cheaper, easier, and faster to implement depending on needs.
IBM Watson Discovery has had only positive impacts on our overall business objective of providing quality customer service and timely resolutions for our clients.
The use of this integration has made life easier for our customer service team, who can now resolve cases for customers quicker and easier.
Our company prides itself on the service and expertise we're able to provide for our customers and IBM Watson Discovery has only made that task easier for our employees to perform.
The product is a behemoth to stand up and is cost prohibitive well before it can be implemented. Long term vision planning must be done to realize a positive ROI.
It is costly to locate or train internal resources to implement the product successfully. It is very easy to be lost in a black hole if trying to implement it with no previous experience of an ECM platform.
Demonstrating the platform to key stakeholders from multiple departments will most likely lead to discussions where business processes can be automated allowing for a faster ROI.
