VikasKumar16 - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Auditor at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
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
Founder and COO at InVibes
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 key feature of SS&C that I find valuable is the general workflow visibility."
"We have a lot of customer requests on a daily basis for different use cases, and we have different processes for that."
"Some important features include the language capabilities, which are crucial since RPA has to read the documents provided by the customer."
"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."
"The solution is quite stable, and I am happy with its performance in my programs and processes."
"Has a very good machine learning feature."
"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."
"OCR technology is undoubtedly the most valuable feature and the feasibility of integrating data processes with AI and machine learning models is fascinating."
"It's helped us free up time for other staff projects."
"The best feature is pre-labeling, as it eliminates the need to manually label each data point."
"It shortens the time of extracting data by 70 to 80%."
"UiPath provides a useful feature that allows us to classify documents as invoices or not."
 

Cons

"Blue Prism is more costly than UiPath in terms of robotic licenses and orchestrators."
"There is a need for improved integration with external systems in SS&C."
"I noticed that it lacks the ability to automatically record the process steps like some of its competitors."
"Its pricing can be improved."
"They can include some features in utilizing the product of assessment understanding, or more specifically, a better efficient handling of the ML skill, which right now is not that efficient."
"The extraction can be better. ABBYY FlexiCapture has more capabilities than Document Understanding. It can also extract automatically without training, whereas with Document Understanding, we need to train everything."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I encountered difficulties with UiPath Document Understanding in determining the appropriate OCR to use for certain files."
"It would be much easier if UiPath increased the count of pages. Currently, they are allowing one million pages for $10,000 per month. I would prefer to increase the page count or reduce the dollar count in terms of processing the documents. I would prefer $6,000 per month for processing 2 to 3 million pages per month. It will then be much easier for companies with a low budget to use this product."
"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."
"The licensing model poses a significant challenge due to the fee charged for posting a model, which impedes the development of productivity-enhancing models."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"We received a 60-day free trial before having to purchase a license to continue using UiPath Document Understanding."
"UiPath Document Understanding is priced high compared to its competition."
"The solution’s cost increases for machine learning or artificial intelligence because we have to go for UiPath Orchestrator."
"I find the pricing to be fair."
"UiPath's pricing model is complex and based on AI units, which are consumed during model training and use."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution a nine."
"I do not know about its price, but for large organizations, UiPath is cheap, whereas, for small organizations, UiPath is high. For example, if 500 licenses are needed for one company, UiPath is cheap. If only 5 licenses are required, UiPath is costly."
