Tungsten Automation alternatives for teams who want agentic workflows
Kofax renamed itself Tungsten Automation on 16 Jan 2024, and Ephesoft is now part of it. Docsumo is an intelligent document processing (IDP) platform: AI agents check every document in the case, and workflows follow your process.
A commercial lighting rebate claim from Oakhurst Dental Group: the application, the contractor's invoice, the fixture spec sheets, a W-9 and installation photos. Docsumo's AI agents sort the five documents, read every line item and model number, and check the claim against the program's qualified-product list: 12 of the 18 fixtures qualify, so the $2,160.00 claimed (18 × $120.00) comes down to $1,440.00 (12 × $120.00). A workflow agent routes the file to the program's rebate review queue, where their own analyst approves $1,440.00.

“There's no way we could've scaled our operations as we did if it weren't for a product like Docsumo.”
Orla Kane, VP of Settlement Operations, ClearOne AdvantageQuestions about Tungsten Automation alternatives.
What is the best alternative to Tungsten Automation (Kofax)?
Docsumo (ours) is an intelligent document processing (IDP) platform for agentic workflows, whose AI agents check each case (Enterprise plan). ABBYY FlexiCapture and Hyperscience are the closest enterprise suites; Rossum suits AP. Stay on Tungsten for on-premises or FedRAMP High.
What is Kofax called now, and who owns it?
Tungsten Automation: Kofax renamed itself on 16 Jan 2024, keeping its products, contracts and logins. Ephesoft, maker of Transact, is now part of it. Clearlake Capital and TA Associates back it, per its July 2025 CEO release.
How much does Tungsten TotalAgility cost?
Tungsten publishes no TotalAgility prices; its Microsoft Marketplace plans are placeholders it says aren't real prices. Transact starts at 120,000 pages a year. The $129 you may see is Power PDF, a one-time desktop PDF license.
Is there a free trial of Tungsten TotalAgility?
We found none; TotalAgility starts with a demo from a Tungsten rep, and Transact's 10-day trial starts from a form. Docsumo's free trial runs 14 days, with up to 1,000 pages and 10 users.
Who are Tungsten Automation's competitors?
Enterprise IDP platforms such as ABBYY, Hyperscience and Grooper; AP tools such as Rossum, now part of Coupa; RPA platforms such as UiPath; and Docsumo.
Do Kofax Capture customers have to move up to TotalAgility?
Tungsten's site doesn't say so, and we found no end-of-life date. Its Capture, Transformation and Transact pages point to TotalAgility, and one form covers renewal and Move Up options.
Can TotalAgility run on-premises? Can Docsumo?
TotalAgility can, in a public or private cloud, on-premises or hybrid. Docsumo is cloud-hosted only (SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR), so if documents must stay on your servers, Tungsten fits better.
How is Docsumo different from Tungsten TotalAgility?
Both use AI agents: TotalAgility has an AI Agent Builder, multi-agent orchestration and a Case Agent. Docsumo is one cloud product where agents check each document in a case against the others (Enterprise plan).
