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 The speed of product development means that my experience with it is likely out of date in terms of the product suite capabilities.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 itself is valuable due to its ability to classify and extract information with embedded OCR, which is good."
"The most valuable features have been the rate of recognition and the structured documents."
"Some of the most helpful features of ABBYY Vantage that I really appreciate are the accuracy and the multilingual capabilities."
"Abbyy is really good in terms of reading OCR."
"Compared to other tools, ABBYY Vantage is better because it's very user-friendly."
"The advantage of this tool is that it is a proven product. A lot of other products are quite new in the market."
"The solution responds well to automatic document classifications with a 90% success rate."
"It saves us a lot of manual work."
"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."
"It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer."
"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 a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution needs more web or cloud-based development."
"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."
"It's important to incorporate image detection for signatures or other handwriting elements."
"ABBYY Vantage's reporting could be improved - they don't have any out-of-the-box or detailed advanced reports."
"The accuracy changes depending on the scenario so you need to test it before committing to this solution."
"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."
"Quite complex, particularly for those who are not tech savvy."
"One major area that requires improvement in ABBYY Vantage is its current JSON output format."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
"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."
"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."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"Room for improvement would be better OCR functionality in terms of Arabic OCR. There should be better accuracy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have a trial license that is limited to a certain number of pages. The paid license varies from six months to one year depending on the number of documents that need to be processed."
"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."
"The cost is per page we use. So, the number of pages we use will be its cost."
"The price of ABBYY FlexiCapture is better than some competitors, such as OpenText."
"We were able to qualify for a reasonable price. The price is in the low to medium range compared to other solutions."
"We did not go with the licensed version of this solution."
"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."
"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."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"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."
"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."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
