Comes with API services and data analytics features but needs to improve stability

We use the product for API and interface collections. The tool's most valuable features are API services and data analytics. Datamatics TruCap+ needs to improve its stability. I have been working with the product for a month. I rate the tool's stability an eight out of ten. The product is…

Has improved document scanning accuracy with advanced OCR capabilities

IBM needs to improve on scanning and reading accuracy for unstructured documents. Additionally, an important missing feature is the ability to merge documents and present data across different UI screens. This is especially beneficial for customer onboarding where documents are scanned not all at once but periodically. Incorporating automation could also aid in this area.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's most valuable features are API services and data analytics."

"It's resiliency, with multiple ways of identifying what you are looking for and multiple export formats, and it's a platform, not a configured application, so you can do what you want with it."

"The OCR extractions are very good, almost 100% accurate now."

"The most valuable features of IBM Datacap is the capturing and recognizing of pages, documents as well as the scanner and barcodes."

"It is highly extensible, which we found to be most valuable. It is a very extensible solution because it is based on configurable rule sets. We were able to amend and adjust the solution and very easily add custom code and custom components. It does require some programming experience, but we found that not to be an issue. We liked its extensibility."

"It is a very extensible solution because it is based on configurable rule sets, and we were able to amend and adjust the solution and very easily add custom code and custom components."

"It is highly scalable; we have customers who are pumping through thousands of documents a day, and if you're looking for enterprise, this is the solution because it is a platform."

"Datacap will help you to streamline and automate your document driven capture processes, saving time and effort on manual, error-prone tasks."

"The big thing these days is really the Insight Edition component and being able to build annotators to extract from literally unstructured content: paragraphs and information where there's no start anchor point to define where that data is located."

Cons

"Datamatics TruCap+ needs to improve its stability."

"They have to stop focusing on new development and stabilize the latest release. It is not stable."

"There are times when external features impact services. For example, Windows patching or antivirus updates can affect production-level services."

"Datacap is not that difficult to set up, however, there are some limitations. For example, it's supposed to only be used with Windows, it will not support a Linux platform and has been built on top of .Net technologies."

"The user interfaces for exception processing can be tweaked. I commonly find that we try to tweak and customize some of those components to more of what the industry standard is. The product is still trying to play catch-up a little bit in those areas."

"Datacap has performance issues when processing large volumes of documents. We're doing 18,000 pages daily. Scanning takes almost 20-30 minutes, but it normally takes one or two minutes. We informed IBM and opened a ticket for that. They forwarded the issue to developers but didn't give a specific timeline for it to be resolved. Version 8.1 is already at the end of support."

"If it is registered as a critical issue, we receive a response from IBM after one day which can cause our clients to lose business."

"I would like to see the product have the ability to process more documents in parallel."

"I would like to see integration of Watson AI technology into Datacap."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is an expensive solution."

"You save a lot of time and money, but the benefit is you have people who are able to run the systems, check to see if there are any errors at all, and there are a lot less errors than a human system."

"Pricing depends on how much we use it. We pay per bulk quantity. We pay as you go. Therefore, it sort of depends on our usage of it."

"We were using the User Value Unit licensing, which means we get charged per active user of the system, and if I'm not mistaken, we also had it for the rule runner service. They had a PVU license model, which is a processor value unit. For each process that we have in our system, we pay a certain amount of money. We found the pricing to be quite steep. It was really an expensive solution in comparison to Kofax, which had a different licensing model and was actually cheaper overall because they charge per page and not per user and per process."

"It varies, and it depends on the client's requirements and negotiations. Nowadays, Datacap is also included in the IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation."

"This solution offers seamless integration with other enterprise products, which is my area of responsibility, focusing on government sector projects. Larger enterprise projects don't pose problems. It might be suitable for small businesses as well."

"If you want IBM Datacap on cloud, which is a service run by IBM, the price can be quite expensive, but if you want to just purchase the licenses and own those yourself, then the price is very competitive."

"This solution is the most expensive in the market."
