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

Trusted by teams turning documents into production data






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.

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
