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 The speed of product development means that my experience with it is likely out of date in terms of the product suite capabilities.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 most valuable features have been the rate of recognition and the structured documents."
"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."
"Compared to other tools, ABBYY Vantage is better because it's very user-friendly."
"The machine learning capability is pretty good."
"Its OCR Engine is very successful, and it is the leading OCR Engine. It also has NLP support."
"We like the fact that this solution is enterprise-ready, so it can be deployed on-premises, scale it, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to capture data from documents with different formats."
"ABBYY Vantage has reduced our data because it can classify and extract information from documents."
"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"The product is really good, and it is easy to use. It comes with multiple integrations. The solution keeps up with the trend of Microsoft Copilot and AI."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"It is user-friendly and has good documentation. It's good for developing communication and has a lot of the APIs needed for this purpose. There aren't a lot of software options available from this time period; this is the only one from 2013 that has this concept of microservices."
"The AI-powered features are incredibly important for operational efficiency; they are a game changer in terms of the accuracy of OCR and ICR."
 

Cons

"It would be good if the product provided an AI-based prebuilt model that predicts and gives output."
"There is an area of improvement. For example, when we read the data from the OCR, the accuracy is not good."
"They say that they have invoice training or document training where if you put in a certain number of documents of the same type and you fix it once, twice, or a few times, it'll automatically be able to read the same document perfectly without you having to create a layout for it to follow. That has never worked properly for any project, so I just stopped recommending it completely. We spent time trying to test and getting a bunch of invoices to test it with, and in the end, it just didn't do what it needed to. If they fix that or if they can improve on that, that would be great. It will save a lot of time for a lot of people, and it will allow people with less experience with ABBYY to be able to use it."
"Based on our use cases, handwritten recognition for Arabic is not supported."
"Their tutorials are not enough. They can improve the tutorials and maybe add more examples in their tutorials. Currently, if you want to learn ABBYY technology, it is very difficult. There are just a few resources, such as YouTube channels and blogs. There are not many resources for learning ABBYY."
"ABBYY's support model could be improved because we get some complaints from customers regarding the amount of time it takes and the kind of responses we get. They also need to improve their professional services team and train them to support customers better during custom implementations."
"One major area that requires improvement in ABBYY Vantage is its current JSON output format."
"Occasionally, we found the Machine Learning feature to be not working as per our expectations. Sometimes, it also failed to extract details from a PDF. It would be great if training batches work with 100% accuracy. I don't see any other major concerns with ABBYY FlexiCapture."
"Room for improvement would be better OCR functionality in terms of Arabic OCR. There should be better accuracy."
"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code."
"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"TotalAgility needs to improve communication with ECMs or other file storage systems because TotalAgility does not have file storage. A good improvement would be to create file storage or integrate with other file storage tools that are currently available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'd give ABBYY Vantage's pricing a rating of seven out of ten."
"It is moderately priced."
"The licenses for this solution are payable on a yearly basis, and are transferable from one year to the next, if they go unused. The license payment also includes a number of support hours from the vendor."
"We were able to qualify for a reasonable price. The price is in the low to medium range compared to other solutions."
"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."
"We did not go with the licensed version of this solution."
"The price of ABBYY FlexiCapture is better than some competitors, such as OpenText."
"The cost is per page we use. So, the number of pages we use will be its cost."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"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 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."
