Struggles with handwritten document accuracy and cost concerns persist
I just wanted to read some bank statements, receipts, and scan documents. I only tried it for those purposes, but I didn't get to use it extensively Amazon Textract was easy to use. The training processes were also straightforward. Despite its ease of use, I had concerns about its accuracy. The…

The solution can process a large volume of invoices with a high success rate and little human validation
We are working with 40,000 different vendor templates. Document Understanding can understand and process various formats without much manual effort to configure the templates. That wasn't the case when we were using Microsoft. UiPath can read handwritten signatures with a success rate of around 70 percent. We've even processed pay slips in German. The language translations are around 90 percent accurate. The AI/ML component offers great flexibility in creating custom models. Its built-in models are also highly mature. The integration is seamless. We have RPA talking between our ERP systems and sharing information on the UiPath cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amazon Textract was easy to use."
"The UiPath Document Understanding tool is very easy to use for document understanding."
"It has advanced capabilities compared to other competitors, whether Blue Prism or Automation Anywhere."
"I like UiPath's machine-learning capabilities. My first impressions were good, but we only use it in a few processes. We intend to expand our use of these features in other situations, but we're still learning how to use the AI functions. We use the OCR much more."
"UiPath's Document Understanding significantly reduces the effort needed to train a machine-learning model for our documents."
"The most valuable feature of UiPath Document Understanding is the AI Center."
"The best feature, in my opinion, is, we can train the document using a machine-learning classifier."
"The solution is quite stable, and I am happy with its performance in my programs and processes."
"UiPath Document Understanding offers multiple types of extractors, which we can use to extract information from documents in a variety of ways."
 

Cons

"The product has not given correct results for me. It was not accurate, especially with handwritten items and documents with pencil marks, which Amazon Textract failed to identify correctly."
"The rising annual licensing cost of UiPath's Document Understanding product is a major turnoff for users."
"If there were more integrations with Veracode or the AWS server, so we don't have to completely transfer our data and keep data on our servers, that might increase security."
"Existing models have room for improvement."
"Sometimes we have challenges when we need to read something like a barcode, so we must use the Cisco algorithm to solve the issue, or I have to ask developers for help specifically to capture this kind of information. There are other processes, such as refunds, that we still must do manually because there is no way to use automation to solve this issue."
"UiPath Document Understanding has challenges with handwriting and screenshots."
"It would be much easier if UiPath increased the count of pages. Currently, they are allowing one million pages for $10,000 per month. I would prefer to increase the page count or reduce the dollar count in terms of processing the documents. I would prefer $6,000 per month for processing 2 to 3 million pages per month. It will then be much easier for companies with a low budget to use this product."
"There is room for improvement in handwriting processes."
"Making the design of Forms AI more flexible and accommodating to companies' branding preferences would be beneficial."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution a nine."
"UiPath is a pricey tool for small customers."
