Featured Reviews

PrashanthR - PeerSpot reviewer
Great with recognition and provides a high level of confidence in terms of extraction capabilities
When it comes to machine print, this is an excellent solution with features you don't find in other tools. When dealing with handwritten text they have provided some A2iA locators that require a separate license. Even after implementing that, the handwritten text extraction was not great. Microsoft Azure does better at text extraction. If an organization is looking for OCR without the need to extract anything, then I would suggest a product such as Textract or another free software. If data extraction is needed for additional processes then I would recommend Kofax. I rate this solution eight out of 10
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

"Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."
"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
"The most valuable feature of UiPath Document Understanding is the AI Center."
"The most valuable feature is the ability for humans to train the bot."
"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."
"UiPath Document Understanding offers valuable features like Arabic language support, which is crucial for effective communication and automation in the Arabic-speaking world."
"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."
"The most valuable feature in UiPath Document Understanding is the identification of the fields column in the PDF documents."
"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."
"The quality of the input documents is crucial because sometimes healthcare providers prefer automated processing rather than human review."
 

Cons

"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."
"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."
"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code."
"Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"Sometimes, when the number of items is very large, the solution doesn't properly identify them."
"UiPath Document Understanding has difficulty identifying handwritten documents, and there is room for improvement."
"UiPath Document Understanding has challenges with handwriting and screenshots."
"There is room for improvement in handwriting processes."
"One area where UiPath could improve is by including pre-trained models for general-use documents specific to the Middle East."
"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."
"Document Understanding would be improved with more AI platforms."
"UiPath Document Understanding's ability to read handwritten files has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
"The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."
"I used the community version, so there was no fee."
"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."
"Our clients are concerned about the volume-based pricing model, as UiPath charges more than other vendors in the market."
"UiPath Document Understanding is priced high compared to its competition."
"UiPath Document Understanding is expensive, with the basic annual package including 6,000 documents and the next package including one million documents, a huge price difference."
"We received a 60-day free trial before having to purchase a license to continue using UiPath Document Understanding."
"One of the biggest challenges we face with UiPath is the pricing structure."
"The price is on the high end."
