Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The handwriting recognition is very good, as it can recognize handwriting done with pen and paper with at least 70% accuracy.""It's easy to use.""Abbyy is really good in terms of reading OCR.""Its ease of use is valuable. It is easy to use and configure.""The ability to extract and insert data, then structuralize it into the actionable format, would be the most valuable.""While using ABBYY FlexiCapture we did not use the generic models that they do have for invoice and purchase orders. For one of the use-cases, the document was exactly the purchase order, but we are not using that generic model. We are creating the model from Scratch. However, if I was to compare ABBYY FlexiCapture with other IA tools, the machine learning and how the extraction is done is far better than competitors. This allows a lot less effort for the development.""Its OCR Engine is very successful, and it is the leading OCR Engine. It also has NLP support.""The most valuable feature of ABBYY FlexiCapture is the accuracy of the general extractions."

"There are many options and customizations that you can make to each individual extractor that allows you to tweak it for exactly what you need.""Grooper processes difficult sorts of data and unstructured or semi-structured content very well. It's probably one of the better solutions I've seen compared to other solutions I've seen out there. It does a lot more things like segmentation extraction. It does it a lot better. Grooper has more focus on these types of freeform documents where other solutions are very generic and this is a little more elaborate in what they've done. I think they take it to the next level of extracting freeform data.""The user interface is easy to use, and the flexibility is noteworthy.""Lexicons where the key vocabulary can be inputted it is very helpful."

Cons
"The system does not always train itself to recognize data properly.""The modelling, classification and handwritten information are not great.""This solution could be improved by offering better integration with other platforms.""In the future, I would like to see integration with Google Sheets.""In IRISXtract, we can have master data, and we can set the master data. There are more options for taking any data and comparing it with master data. For a project, they have a dump from SAP for validation. This feature is there in ABBYY, but it is not extensive like IRISXtract. ABBYY is capturing the data, but there are not a lot of options to validate the captured data. It would be helpful if there are more options for validating the captured data in ABBYY FlexiCapture.""The is a long time between application updates.""The solution needs more web or cloud-based development.""ABBYY Vantage could improve the processing of handwritten notes."

More ABBYY Vantage Cons →

"They should have more sub-extractors or exclusion extractors so that the user does not have to make a parent data type.""Grooper is new. It's new beta stuff, so we've had some issues, but that's understandable. Getting the beta product to more of a true release is where it needs improvement. I'm going through training now, so it's hard to judge what they have and don't have until I get through that training. Training is the main thing for me because I'm trying to learn and take things I've learned from other products and try to transfer that knowledge to this one.""If Grooper could "sense" important fields on the document and auto-build extractors for them, that'd be really cool.""Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "For us, the price is reasonable."
  • "We did not go with the licensed version of this solution."
  • "The price of this ABBYY FlexiCapture is a bit expensive and the price is based on how many documents have been captured. For example, one or two million captures."
  • "Its price is a little bit high and can be lower. Its licensing is very expensive. I don't remember exactly, but for each page, it is about four or seven cents, which is too expensive."
  • "Most of our customers have purchased an annual license and if you have multiple developers from other companies, you can assign the license on a monthly basis to developers."
  • "It is expensive as compared to UiPath. We pay for the licensing and the page count."
  • "It is more on the reasonable side as compared to the competition that I am aware of. I'm not an expert on pricing schemes for all sorts of things, but when we offer them a solution, we like to say we're agnostic. So, we offer more than one solution when possible. Amongst the ones that we've offered, ABBYY usually is the more reasonable solution on a big scale. On a small scale, they're all pretty similar. As far as I understand, you pay a license for a number of pages, and that's pretty much it. It has just the rate per page, and it decreases as you scale."
  • "Its price should be a little lower. It is a lot higher than the competition, and if they just break the gap a little, then more people might jump onto their product. Their price is definitely a deterrent in the few cases that I remember. They have monthly and yearly options, and if you want, they also have per project and per page options. They do charge extra for different types of installation. They have the standalone, which is pretty straightforward and a lot cheaper than the server installation. Server installation gives you a lot more, and it gives you control over the environment."

  • "Know how many pages you will be needing to process, as the pricing is based on that."
  • "Overall, their pricing is higher than the competitors, but they offer functionality that is otherwise not available."
