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.

RPA Technical Solution Lead at Infomentum
Helps automate processes but needs to offer different licensing models to users
Right now, I am not working on process mining at the minute. Before I switched to the company, I worked extremely closely with the process mining tool from UiPath, SAP BTP, and the process mining that they had created. I am working with MuleSoft Automation and Anypoint. We are not doing any sort of process mining at the minute, but in my company, because MuleSoft is one of the only RPA tools that we are looking at, we have another application called Appian that we are trying to explore now. Appian has process mining capability, which is why we thought we would look at it along with AI capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have worked with multiple OCR tools, and I found ABBYY FlexiCapture to be the most accurate tool."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to scale for big processes. We are able to process 1 million pages a day. Its accuracy is also very nice. It is a good feature that they have. It is an independent platform, which is its biggest advantage as compared to other solutions. It is also very stable and powerful. It is 100% on time."
"The OCR is the best on the market."
"The most valuable feature of ABBYY FlexiCapture is the ability to create your own template on the fly."
"We have found the solution to be stable so far."
"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."
"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 also use AI to accomplish medium-complex tasks."
"The advantage of this tool is that it is a proven product, as a lot of other products are quite new in the market."
"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise."
"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment."
"The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities."
"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment."
"Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice."
"SAP Contextor has improved our organization by giving us better operational efficiency."
 

Cons

"At present it is quite complicated to understand how to use this solution, and can take time to master effectively."
"Even though the training works, it's not as good as it is made out to be."
"Hand-written documents have less than 50% accuracy."
"We would like the workflow building within this solution to be more transparent, which would allow us to model the process."
"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."
"There is always room for improvement in any product. Some of the configurations for the machine learning models for invoice reading are fairly complicated. There is so much customization that is possible with that sort of thing, so it makes sense that there are a lot of options, but some of the more important ones can be a little better streamlined or more upfront. Currently, machine learning models are a little bit difficult to configure satisfactorily."
"The main thing they need to work on is simplification of the solution, particularly use of the search tool."
"There has always been a challenge with Word and PDF reading capabilities. There are certain controls like radio buttons and checkboxes that when reading PDFs, really doesn't go well with the RPA."
"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing."
"SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes."
"The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it."
"I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images."
"I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."
"For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process."
"The support is expensive."
"The tool's licensing has been kind of a challenge...At the moment, the tool does not offer different licensing models to users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price per page is high."
"It is moderately priced."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"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."
"We did not go with the licensed version of this solution."
"ABBYY is fairly priced."
"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."
"Our license is $6,000 and includes unlimited users for the verification station."
"The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."
"It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."
"This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."
"The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."
