Leading-edge NLP capabilities, efficient training of machine learning models, and the automation saves us significant time
The machine learning capability is good. The algorithm helps us to get the right data with less training effort. The technology seems to be a little bit ahead of the standard NLP software. They use more pattern recognition, rather than basing everything on reading static text. The problem with relying on an unchanging text is that it can depend on things such as the formatting, and where things appear within a document. This solution can process complex formats, which is helpful for us because we get a lot of PDFs and they come in many different formats. As an example, a carrier might include a list of their rates in a table, whereas a different carrier will write their rates into a paragraph, and yet another will put them into some sort of graphic. If you only capture text then you will only capture part of that data. Pattern recognition ultimately helps us to circumvent the problems in dealing with format variability in documents and allows us to capture the right data. When it comes to predicting what it is that a document needs manual intervention, CMR Plus does it pretty well. They have a QA cycle that is usually able to highlight such data. The content recognition ability, in terms of giving us only the data that we need and nothing else, is pretty good. It has a positive effect on our efficiency and by extension, it impacts our infrastructure costs.

Pre-trained models work well, but it is very expensive
We have to do manual validation for some of the things due to the OCR engine not being so accurate. For example, S is read as 5, 5 as S, 2 as Z, and Z as 2. In the case of currency, if one dot is missing, it gives a completely incorrect number. These discrepancies should be fixed because if the OCR itself doesn't work properly, then AI doesn't help with that. When AI is used for training models, the AI Center works precisely, but if the data itself is wrong, we can't do anything. If the extraction of data is proper, it definitely helps. However, 20% errors could be reduced if the OCR engine were better. In future updates, I would like to see better handling of issues such as when a dot is missing in currency, for example, with dollars, it should handle that automatically. It's very expensive. If the volume increases, we can't afford to use Document Understanding. We are thinking of moving to another solution because we are expecting 80,000 to 100,000 invoices.

Pros

"Pattern recognition ultimately helps us to circumvent the problems in dealing with format variability in documents and allows us to capture the right data."
"The automation provided by this solution has saved us a lot of time."
"UiPath Document Understanding offers multiple types of extractors, which we can use to extract information from documents in a variety of ways."
"OCR technology is undoubtedly the most valuable feature and the feasibility of integrating data processes with AI and machine learning models is fascinating."
"I like the clear and organized way in which UiPath has structured the labeling process, as well as the user-friendly development environment."
"UiPath Document Understanding is user-friendly, with an easy-to-use self-trained model, and the OCR it provides does a good job even with scanned PDFs."
"For me, the most valuable aspects of UiPath Document Understanding are its time efficiency and minimal human intervention."
"There are many features that can be added to the action center to keep humans in the loop to evaluate the accuracy of the extracted data."
"The scalability it offers is truly exceptional, making it arguably the best in the market."
"The most valuable feature in UiPath Document Understanding is the identification of the fields column in the PDF documents."
 

Cons

"We would like to see the overall accuracy increase from approximately 70% to perhaps 85%."
"It would be very helpful to have a simple and extensive training guide, or training model, to help learn how to work with the product."
"The rising annual licensing cost of UiPath's Document Understanding product is a major turnoff for users."
"Extending the trial period for UiPath Document Understanding from three to six months would allow organizations to evaluate their capabilities thoroughly."
"UiPath Document Understanding has challenges with handwriting and screenshots."
"At times, the scanning functionality of the tool may fail to generate accurate output, resulting in the need for manual input."
"The licensing model poses a significant challenge due to the fee charged for posting a model, which impedes the development of productivity-enhancing models."
"One area where UiPath could improve is by including pre-trained models for general-use documents specific to the Middle East."
"Right now, we are trying to use Instabase, which is another tool for document understanding. It may be one step ahead. It is faster than UiPath."
"UiPath Document Understanding's ability to handle diverse document formats, including scans and signatures, needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is really good, and it's based on usage."
"The last time we implemented UiPath Document Understanding the price was high."
"The solution’s cost increases for machine learning or artificial intelligence because we have to go for UiPath Orchestrator."
"I have only been using its free version."
"UiPath is a pricey tool for small customers."
"I find the pricing to be fair."
"The cost per license is significant, approaching ten thousand dollars."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate UiPath Document Understanding an eight on cost."
"UiPath has a higher upfront cost, but its Document Understanding feature is not a significant additional expense compared to the overall platform."
