It's accurate, flexible, and easy to customize without using code
The OCR accuracy is high. Vantage is flexible and customizable. It's a low-code/no-code tool, so you don't need to get into detailed coding. You can just use AI to accomplish medium-complex tasks. ABBYY can process complex documents and supports around 230-250 languages. It's critical that ABBYY can recognize and correctly classify most documents. If it can't, that would just add to the manual work. The pre-trained AI models do a great job on invoices because the models are trained on a larger pool of documents, so they perform well with any new invoice we ingest. Tax forms and other templates don't work as well because they are newer models. However, as they process more samples and train the models, it will likely improve over time. AI is a relatively new offering, and it does a decent job. The accuracy can vary depending on the quality and type of documents. If you have a good model and a high-quality document, you can process most of them end-to-end without human intervention. The rate is about 75 percent for our invoices.

Has faced challenges adapting to evolving capture methods and competitive integrations
It's difficult to say what I'd improve in Tungsten TotalAgility because we haven't been actively marketing that particular product in the last probably six to nine months. The speed of product development means that my experience with it is likely out of date in terms of the product suite capabilities. The difficulty with customers nowadays is that they are subject to the winds of change in terms of the adoption of cloud technologies and the offerings those cloud technologies bring. Microsoft, for instance, is rapidly filling in the spaces between various product areas that other vendors typically owned. That makes it difficult for customers to settle on their functional requirements because the offers are competing in the same space. I look for more integration with mainstream subscription based platforms, more security integration, and possibly some more lifecycle management features. However, the difficulty with that is the competition with existing options that people have in their subscription library.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's technical support is very supportive."
"We are able to extract details from a PDF and put them into a CSV. It is able to extract the details that we are looking for. We have the Machine Learning feature to extract the data with respect to the position of the field."
"The most valuable features have been the rate of recognition and the structured documents."
"The most valuable feature of ABBYY Vantage is flexibility. You are able to edit at a granular level providing good control over the process. Additionally, the brochures and guides were helpful in learning the solution."
"Its OCR Engine is very successful, and it is the leading OCR Engine. It also has NLP support."
"The solution's AI technology is genius."
"The OCR is the best on the market."
"Compared to other tools, ABBYY Vantage is better because it's very user-friendly."
"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"The AI-powered features are incredibly important for operational efficiency; they are a game changer in terms of the accuracy of OCR and ICR."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"Essentially, Kofax TotalAgility as a whole is quite nice. As of now, we've only been able to use and explore its document classification and extraction capabilities. We haven't explored and used the case management capability yet, but the scan and capture capabilities we've been using heavily and those are quite good. Our solutions are mainly around those areas of Kofax TotalAgility. We haven't explored the product a lot, but the capabilities we've explored are good."
"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer."
 

Cons

"The price for trainings or certifications are on the very, very high side."
"I would like to see a machine learning model to make the solution more intelligent."
"Customization in the solution needs to be modified. In the future, I would like to see the product have better customization functionality."
"Based on our use cases, handwritten recognition for Arabic is not supported."
"The solution needs more web or cloud-based development."
"ABBYY Vantage needs to incorporate interfaces similar to cloud and OpenAI chat to streamline workflows."
"The accuracy changes depending on the scenario so you need to test it before committing to this solution."
"There are certain controls like radio buttons and checkboxes that when reading PDFs, really doesn't go well with the RPA."
"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing."
"Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it."
"The one thing I would like to see more of right now: is a simplified form creation. That would be the most significant improvement I would like to see in their product."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"The pricing for Kofax TotalAgility could be more attractive, particularly the cloud version of the solution which was offered to my company. This is its area for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the price a six out of ten."
"The price of ABBYY FlexiCapture is better than some competitors, such as OpenText."
"It costs 5,000 Euro per year for one license. There are almost 500,000 pages available, so I think the price is good for what we have. It's worth the money."
"Our company receives discounts because of our good partnership with the vendor and our vendor's partnership with ABBYY."
"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."
"ABBYY is fairly priced."
"You need to purchase user licenses, and you also need to purchase the license for the pages. User licenses are required for your developers to use the developer tools, and you also need to ensure that there is a pool of licenses for the business users so that they can log in and perform their activities."
"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."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
