Shital Funde - PeerSpot reviewer
A powerful solution for custom scripting but .NET knowledge is required
Knowledge of .NET is required to effectively use the solution or it can be complicated. I was able to train customers to use the solution if they had some .NET experience. The solution should offer a lightweight version that includes the OCR or document scanning and does not include the entire enterprise package with custom scripting.
Gangadhar Wali - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"We use it to capture documents coming through our product and mobile channels and make them available for our business to access and email. We use it to automate the email workflow in our applications, pull the documents, and email them to the users."
"The solution is very powerful because it allows for custom scripting."
"The automated version of the vendor invoice management is great."
"It allows you to image capture, scan documents and use machine learning to automatically index and tie them."
"The enterprise and capturing feature of OpenText is its valuable feature. As we have integrated CRM with OpenText."
"Being able to have accurate extraction is most valuable. It has machine learning and other tools to make the extraction more accurate."
"The scalability it offers is truly exceptional, making it arguably the best in the market."
"The taxonomy and Validation Station are among the most helpful features for us. If anything is extracted incorrectly, we can manually extract it there."
"I like the clear and organized way in which UiPath has structured the labeling process, as well as the user-friendly development environment."
"Invoice processing is the most valuable feature. Most of my customers use Document Understanding for invoice processing. That's one of the most common use cases. Typically, each customer starts their RPA journey with the finance department because that's the area where you can see the most benefit."
"In UiPath Document Understanding, I use two extractors. One is the Intelligent Form Extractor and the other is the Machine Learning Extractor. The first one is very useful and user-friendly. When we have a single template or two to three templates, Intelligent Form Extractor is much easier to use. But if we have multiple templates, it's better to go with ML Extractor as you can train the model with different templates."
"The most valuable feature of UiPath Document Understanding is the AI Center."
"It shortens the time of extracting data by 70 to 80%."
"The prebuilt algorithm for extracting foreign invoices is the most valuable feature because it eliminates the need for us to build anything from scratch."
 

Cons

"If something is handwritten and attached to an email, it doesn't capture the information correctly."
"The setup is medium complexity."
"The area for improvement primarily centers around licensing concerns rather than technical issues. Captiva, intended for larger clients, poses challenges for medium and small businesses due to licensing costs. The current licensing model is based on volume, such as purchasing a volume for one million dollars per year for scanning. This pricing structure may be prohibitive for companies with constrained budgets. Another aspect requiring attention is the mobile capture feature, which, although experiencing recent enhancements in intelligent document processing through AI, could benefit from further improvements. Specifically, there is room for enhancement in enabling users to efficiently capture documents using their smartphones."
"We are using it to improve the image and the documentation for the cases. And sometimes, some cases have more than fifteen different types. We use some tools as fixed standard analysis and provide information to support the different types to take some decisions and help in an automated process. We choose the case type and subtype DNS scanning documents from the data entry up."
"I would say what most of the document management solutions are lacking is smartness to detect the duplicate storage of the documents"
"Knowledge of .NET is required to effectively use the solution or it can be complicated."
"It can be more user-friendly, and it should also have more reporting capabilities. There are also a few other things that need improvement."
"The rising annual licensing cost of UiPath's Document Understanding product is a major turnoff for users."
"There is still room for enhancement in capturing line items from invoices."
"There could be a feature similar to ChatGPT where when you ask about a document, you get an answer about what is there in that document. If possible, this kind of feature can be incorporated so that you do not need to open a file and take the value. It should directly detect that instead of opening and validating the document. Such a feature will speed up the process."
"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 difficulty identifying handwritten documents, and there is room for improvement."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The coding machine learning could be a little bit better."
"Currently, we have to train multiple templates because the column size and row size change in each PDF."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Some customers say the solution can get costly because it requires licenses or enterprise packages."
"OpenText is an expensive solution."
"The price is on the high end."
"UiPath's pricing model is complex and based on AI units, which are consumed during model training and use."
"Its pricing can be looked into because it is on the higher side for developing economies, such as India, where the cost of labor is a little cheaper compared to advanced technologies."
"UiPath is a pricey tool for small customers."
"UiPath Document Understanding offers fair pricing, primarily if you consider the number of resources and human work the solution reduces, plus the ROI you can get from it."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The last time we implemented UiPath Document Understanding the price was high."
"The price for UiPath Document Understanding is a bit expensive."
