Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 10, 2024

IBM Datacap and ElectroNeek both compete in the document processing category. Datacap holds the upper hand due to its superior data extraction and OCR capabilities, making it well-suited for handling complex workflows, while ElectroNeek stands out for affordability and scalability.

Features: IBM Datacap is recognized for its efficiency in processing unstructured data, extensive configurability, and robust integration with systems like FileNet. ElectroNeek offers unlimited bots for scalability, ease of use, and budget-friendly solutions catering especially to smaller enterprises.

Room for Improvement: IBM Datacap needs to enhance its OCR speed, support for Arabic language documentation, and AI technology integration like Watson. ElectroNeek could improve by enhancing activity integrations, browser compatibility, particularly with Microsoft Edge, and expanding remote desktop interaction support.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both products offer on-premise deployment options, with ElectroNeek also supporting private and hybrid cloud setups. Users report IBM Datacap struggles with the responsiveness of technical support, while ElectroNeek experiences stretched support teams but benefits from quicker ticket response times.

Pricing and ROI: IBM Datacap is costly due to user-based and process-based charges, which may deter smaller businesses despite its integration with IBM products. ElectroNeek provides more flexible and budget-friendly pricing, appealing to startups and smaller enterprises, with its affordability being a significant advantage for accessing automation.

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 product's setup is straightforward."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."

"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."

"The drag and drop feature, which is no code, is very useful for me because I am not a technical person. It is very user-friendly."

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

"The most valuable feature is the price."

"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."

More ElectroNeek pros

"The most valuable feature is its ability to capture data, which changes all the time into different formats."

"Both Datacap Studio and Datacap Navigator are great features."

"It's a platform, not a configured application, so you can do what you want with it."

"At the forefront of my thoughts, the standout feature of this intelligent product is its remarkable capability. This project we're currently engaged in revolves around streamlining workflows within both our company and the customer's company. It entails handling information from various documents with diverse formats and types, even when they contain the same data. The ability to connect this information with the appropriate database and recognize it irrespective of the format or source is an extremely valuable feature. Moreover, leveraging machine learning is crucial since our customer deals with an extensive archive of over five million documents. Machine learning can significantly alleviate the backlog by becoming well-versed in various scenarios they might encounter during their work once we've completed our application."

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

"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. There could be a number of entities in that which you have to draw information from. Being able to extract from them is really the differentiator today between that product and many of the other products..."

"It's resiliency. There are multiple ways of identifying what you are looking for. There are multiple export formats."

"I work for an insurance company, and we use Datacap for document processing."

Cons

"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."

"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."

"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."

"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."

"Its price could definitely be lower."

"The pricing is an area with a shortcoming, and from an improvement perspective, it needs to be made cheaper."

"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

More ElectroNeek cons

"The technical support is horrible. They have downsized the support teams too much. They've outsourced some of them along with some of the development, and they're just stretched too thin."

"Its weaknesses are primarily tied to the lack of available resources and expertise in the market to effectively support and provide solutions and services to each customer for seamless implementation. Expertise in this specific product is rare throughout the market. One key reason is the product's limited downloads. Additionally, archiving solutions are often perceived as complex and challenging, dissuading many companies from venturing into this domain. Consequently, partners who specialize in archiving solutions are always seeking straightforward, uncomplicated options that are easy to manage and meet customer expectations."

"I give the scalability of the solution a six out of ten."

"The reading efficiency of the solution needs to be improved."

"Going forward, IBM needs to ensure that the output is perfect (as it can make the product) while staying true to platform's core."

"When a client's requirement is not available in Datacap, out-of-the-box actions should be simpler to implement and not very complex."

"Recognition between certain numbers and letters could be improved. Sometimes this solution misreads five with an "S" for Singapore."

"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."

More IBM Datacap cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the price an eight out of ten."

"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."

"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."

"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."

"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."

"IBM could offer more competitive pricing. This would allow them to attain more users. Some of our clients are considering moving to a different solution called Encapture which is similar but offers more competitive pricing."

"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."

"Pricing needs to stay competitive."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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