Sensible vs Kofax

Kofax (now Tungsten Automation) is an enterprise workflow orchestration platform with document extraction as one capability. Sensible is document extraction, focused — no workflow engine to deploy, no platform to migrate.

Document extraction only

Narrow, deep focus on extracting structured data; Kofax bundles extraction inside TotalAgility, an enterprise workflow orchestration platform

Cloud-native, no migrations

Modern SaaS with no version upgrades to schedule; Kofax customers manage TotalAgility upgrades and migrations as platform projects

API-first, not GUI workflow designer

REST API with Python and Node SDKs plus SenseML config as code; Kofax configuration happens in a GUI workflow designer within TotalAgility

Published per-document pricing

Predictable cost, no procurement cycle; Kofax requires sales engagement for custom enterprise pricing and implementation

Days to production, not implementation projects

Start from 150+ pre-built configs; Kofax deployments are platform implementations that take months

Sensible vs. Kofax: Key Differences

Kofax (rebranded Tungsten Automation) is a Gartner-recognized leader in intelligent document processing, sold as part of the TotalAgility workflow orchestration platform. It is purpose-built for enterprises that want extraction inside a broader process-automation suite. Sensible takes the opposite shape: API-first, document extraction only, with config as code that engineering teams treat like any other software dependency.

Kofax

Why it matters

Product shape

Document extraction service, API-first

Document extraction inside the TotalAgility workflow orchestration platform

Adopt extraction without adopting a workflow platform

Document complexity

Multi-page, multi-table, nested fields, 1,000+ page documents

Broad document support across banking, insurance, healthcare, supply chain

Both handle enterprise complexity; Sensible publishes the page-count ceiling

Pre-built support

150+ pre-built configs, production-ready

Pre-built solutions via Tungsten Marketplace; scope not published

Library scope is documented; no procurement engagement required to evaluate fit

API

REST API with Python and Node SDKs

API access within the TotalAgility platform; no public SDK documentation

Build extraction into your product without standing up TotalAgility

Pricing model

Per-document, published

Custom enterprise pricing, sales and implementation engagement required

Forecast cost before signing; no procurement cycle to find out what it costs

Integrations

REST API, webhooks, Python and Node SDKs, custom connectors

Enterprise connectors for ERP, ECM, BPM, and RPA platforms

Fits into modern engineering pipelines, not just enterprise back-office systems

Configuration

SenseML: config as code, version-controlled, CI/CD ready

GUI-based workflow designer within TotalAgility

Treat extraction logic like any other software — peer-review, branch, deploy

Extraction approach

Hybrid: AI + deterministic rules

AI-powered classification, extraction, and validation within a workflow orchestration platform

AI flexibility with deterministic guardrails, without inheriting a workflow engine

Schema enforcement

Output validated against your schema on every extraction

Workflow-level validation rules in TotalAgility, not API-level schema enforcement

Validation lives in the API contract, not in a downstream workflow you have to maintain

Audit trail

Full provenance — every field traced to source coordinates

Process audit logging within TotalAgility; source coordinate mapping for API output not documented

Per-field traceability for auditors and reviewers, not just process-level logs

Confidence signals

Per-field confidence scores with automatic flagging for review

Not documented in public product pages

Route uncertain extractions to human review without a custom scoring layer

Security

SOC 2 Type II. HIPAA available on Enterprise.

Security certifications via Tungsten Trust Center (portal access required); Gartner MQ Leader (2025) for IDP

Both meet enterprise security bars; Sensible publishes the cert list and HIPAA tier without a portal gate
