Has defined complex workflows and handled detailed automation scenarios efficiently
It requires extensive knowledge if somebody wants to work on SS&C Blue Prism, compared to other tools. The downside is you need to be very aware of the tool. You need to know how to write the workflow and have a detailed understanding of SS&C Blue Prism. It takes more time to learn compared to other tools in the market which are more user-friendly.
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

"I find the design studio, where I can build the automation, and the control room feature, which allows me to run and monitor the automation, to be the most useful."
"Some important features include the language capabilities, which are crucial since RPA has to read the documents provided by the customer."
"The key feature of SS&C that I find valuable is the general workflow visibility."
"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 UiPath Document Understanding tool is very easy to use for document understanding."
"We can integrate document understanding with other systems and applications."
"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."
"We are working with 40,000 different vendor templates. Document Understanding can understand and process various formats without much manual effort to configure the templates. That wasn't the case when we were using Microsoft."
"Pre-trained models are valuable, and they work well."
"For me, the most valuable aspects of UiPath Document Understanding are its time efficiency and minimal human intervention."
"The machine learning (ML) extractor is valuable. It helps in extracting information from even unstructured documents. It can sometimes also extract information from a written document. Without much manual intervention, it is able to process the documents. This is a unique feature of UiPath Document Understanding."
 

Cons

"There is a need for improved integration with external systems in SS&C."
"Blue Prism is more costly than UiPath in terms of robotic licenses and orchestrators."
"I noticed that it lacks the ability to automatically record the process steps like some of its competitors."
"Existing models have room for improvement."
"UiPath Document Understanding can improve its handwriting and signature recognition."
"The licensing model poses a significant challenge due to the fee charged for posting a model, which impedes the development of productivity-enhancing models."
"The machine learning model needs improvement, as we receive more and more unstructured documents from clients that require a lot of manual validation."
"The signature and handwriting are a pain point for the OCR and have room for improvement."
"There is still room for enhancement in capturing line items from invoices."
"UiPath Document Understanding has challenges with handwriting and screenshots."
"It would be ideal if they could include more packages for more use cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Document Understanding's price is quite high."
"The solution’s cost increases for machine learning or artificial intelligence because we have to go for UiPath Orchestrator."
"UiPath has a higher upfront cost, but its Document Understanding feature is not a significant additional expense compared to the overall platform."
"The cost per license is significant, approaching ten thousand dollars."
"I used the community version, so there was no fee."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution a nine."
"It's expensive, but you can reduce the price per license by getting more licenses. Overall, the pricing is okay."
"Our clients are concerned about the volume-based pricing model, as UiPath charges more than other vendors in the market."
