Accurate invoice automation enhances efficiency with multilingual support
The accuracy of ABBYY Vantage is not directly applicable to us as we use this in our product to implement it with our clients, and we are yet to see the impact. We anticipate that ABBYY Vantage will help in reducing the time taken to process invoices. As a product manager, I am not aware of the competitor pricing for ABBYY Vantage. I cannot think of any significant flaws in ABBYY Vantage, and I am satisfied with its features, though I may not be using it extensively. Overall, I would rate ABBYY Vantage an eight out of ten.

Software Development Consultant at a hospitality company with 1-10 employees
Average solution with good workflow but needs to improve machine learning
The configuration can be a bit much. The AML engine part could be better. It's not easy to train. It's not so easy to train the system. If it's not trained, the accuracy will be off. They need to improve data quality. They need to start from scratch with the AML. They need to add on the document processing tool. It's getting there; it just need to be expanded. I haven't used the reporting too much. However, it would be helpful to have it more robust. The solution does require a lot of RAM.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the flexibility of the layout. For example, for the documents that we're using, this is the main feature that is very useful and makes it flexible for extraction."
"There are a lot of options in ABBYY FlexiCapture, and it is very vast. I have worked with multiple OCR tools, and I found ABBYY FlexiCapture to be the most accurate tool."
"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."
"Other than that, clients have always been extremely happy with this solution."
"The form extractions engine and the FlexiCapture designer are really useful."
"The solution has its own language that can be configured many ways and with higher accuracy than other products."
"We can quickly integrate the catalogs with proper documentation."
"The solution responds well to automatic document classifications with a 90% success rate."
"Transact's best feature is its ease of customization."
"I believe Ephesoft Transact is one of the best tools because the UI is an easy one."
"I have found the keyword extraction to be helpful."
"Transact's best feature is its ease of customization."
"I like the inject feature. With desktop injects, we're doing all these things and extracting these things. Its stable, scalable, and technical support is good."
 

Cons

"The integration with UiPath is not good."
"There are certain controls like radio buttons and checkboxes that when reading PDFs, really doesn't go well with the RPA."
"Our basic concern is that ABBYY does not allow you to use the product unless you are a trained professional."
"It's important to incorporate image detection for signatures or other handwriting elements."
"We had to put a great deal of effort into this, and it took a lot of time and our money to invent our process together with ABBYY."
"The system does not always train itself to recognize data properly."
"It would be good if the product provided an AI-based prebuilt model that predicts and gives output."
"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."
"It's not easy to train."
"Transact could be improved by removing Java and making its pricing more accessible for smaller customers."
"Their email service and extraction could be better. We get the input via email, and these emails contain different types of documents like Excel, PDF, or they may contain different content in the email body."
"Transact could be improved by removing Java and making its pricing more accessible for smaller customers."
"Their email service and extraction could be better. We get the input via email, and these emails contain different types of documents like Excel, PDF, or they may contain different content in the email body. Due to this variation, sometimes the email service crashes, and emails aren't redirected to Ephesoft Transact. Ephesoft has provided us with new hotfixes. Whatever flaws we found in the 2019.2 version, they have already updated it in the new version, 20.1.05, and it's already released. Drawbacks like not capturing the handwritten fields are now sorted."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"ABBYY is fairly priced."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"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."
"We were able to qualify for a reasonable price. The price is in the low to medium range compared to other solutions."
"The price per page is high."
"The solution offers both cloud and on-premises models but the pricing is on the higher side."
"Initially, when I got a licensed copy of Ephesoft Transact, it was for one year. After one year, we had to send an email to the Ephesoft team informing them that our license was going to expire. They updated it and provided one license in our file, and we had to update and install the folder. They have versions for one year and lifelong as well."
"Transact's pricing could be better for smaller customers."
