Good data ingestion and classification capabilities, supports various media types and formats, and the interface is easy to use
Currently, we're still using version 2-7-2, and now they're about to do the beta release on their version 2021. In this coming version, we expect that some of our issues will be fixed. We've had challenges in classification tasks where similar documents were flagged as multiple matches. The system would identify them and say, "Hey, I think I've got multiple matches. It could either be this one or that one." Because of that, it required us to instruct the system to either leave it unclassified, or we had to halt the process for somebody to look at it. With the new version for 2021, they have changed the paradigm. As it is now, we're using something called a form type, where pages within the document are referenced using a specific page number. For example, in a ten-page document, you might refer to information specifically on the first or fifth page. In the new paradigm, there is a first, middle, and last page concept, as opposed to having the different form types with all of the different pages. What they're telling me is that it's going to make the classification more accurate. Just because the first page of two different documents looks the same, they will not be considered duplicates. Having multiple points of reference will now allow it to better distinguish them. The other area we have had challenges with is table extractions, where if the data headers were not defined, or the tables did not have descriptions for the columns. My understanding is that in the 2021 version, they've now shown that they're handling that. Again, we don't have it and haven't been able to test it, but it's coming. Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is easy to use, and the flexibility is noteworthy."
"Grooper processes difficult sorts of data and unstructured or semi-structured content very well. It's probably one of the better solutions I've seen compared to other solutions I've seen out there. It does a lot more things like segmentation extraction. It does it a lot better. Grooper has more focus on these types of freeform documents where other solutions are very generic and this is a little more elaborate in what they've done. I think they take it to the next level of extracting freeform data."
"Lexicons where the key vocabulary can be inputted it is very helpful."
"There are many options and customizations that you can make to each individual extractor that allows you to tweak it for exactly what you need."
"The most valuable aspects of UiPath Document Understanding are its accuracy, ability to automate processes end-to-end, and the availability of a free trial period to conduct a proof of concept and assess its accuracy and speed."
"This solution has played a significant role in drastically reducing human errors by ensuring that 95% to 98% of tasks are done through the system."
"It's helped us free up time for other staff projects."
"It shortens the time of extracting data by 70 to 80%."
"UiPath Document Understanding offers multiple types of extractors, which we can use to extract information from documents in a variety of ways."
"UiPath Document Understanding produces a high accuracy rate of 98 percent."
"I believe the most valuable feature is the prebuilt algorithm for extracting information from foreign invoices."
"The validation process is easy. The Validation Station shows you the extracted data on one side and the document on the other, so you can easily scroll down and check if the data is accurate. You just need to click a checkbox. If you don't think it is fine, you have the option to add an exception. Based on that exception, you can create multiple conditions for how to address the same issue if it happens again."
 

Cons

"They should have more sub-extractors or exclusion extractors so that the user does not have to make a parent data type."
"Grooper is new. It's new beta stuff, so we've had some issues, but that's understandable. Getting the beta product to more of a true release is where it needs improvement. I'm going through training now, so it's hard to judge what they have and don't have until I get through that training. Training is the main thing for me because I'm trying to learn and take things I've learned from other products and try to transfer that knowledge to this one."
"Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals."
"If Grooper could "sense" important fields on the document and auto-build extractors for them, that'd be really cool."
"There is also room for improvement in long-running table extraction. If a table continues for more than 10 pages, in some cases, we have observed that it only extracts six or seven pages and skips the last pages."
"UiPath Document Understanding, while effective for its own platform, could be even more valuable if it integrated with other commonly used platforms, allowing for a more universal approach to document processing."
"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."
"One area of improvement for UiPath Document Understanding is the accuracy of handwritten documents. While the solution supports handwritten documents, the accuracy percentage is not as high as desired."
"UiPath Document Understanding's ability to handle diverse document formats, including scans and signatures, needs improvement."
"The rising annual licensing cost of UiPath's Document Understanding product is a major turnoff for users."
"Existing models have room for improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Overall, their pricing is higher than the competitors, but they offer functionality that is otherwise not available."
"Know how many pages you will be needing to process, as the pricing is based on that."
"I find the pricing to be fair."
"It is expensive. The license cost for UiPath Studio has risen to around 3.5 lakhs last year, and I am uncertain how much the increase will be this year. They have also increased the bot prices."
"The price for UiPath Document Understanding is a bit expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate UiPath Document Understanding an eight on cost."
"I used the community version, so there was no fee."
"Our clients are concerned about the volume-based pricing model, as UiPath charges more than other vendors in the market."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution a nine."
"The pricing is reasonable."
