Featured Reviews

Pavan Balaji - PeerSpot reviewer
Performs well on handwritten text and on checkboxes; lacks sufficient language options
The solution lacks support for a variety of languages. It supports three or four languages, whereas other vendors support 60 languages. I'd also like to see some improvement in the various dictionaries, including address validation dictionaries, or phone number validation dictionaries, those things need to be improved. It provides a machine confidence score but doesn't give accuracy scores.
José Arthur Brasileiro - PeerSpot reviewer
Is easy to configure, user-friendly, and produces accurate results
The data we extract using Document Understanding relates to vehicle accidents. The insurance company uses this data to charge third parties involved and recover most of their money with minimal human intervention. We are extracting information from 50 insurance documents to prove the concept of showing coverage for those involved in the accident. The information from the insurance company is in PDF format and is structured so that we can easily extract information from it. The other public policy documents vary in quality depending on the state and district in Brazil. We have 27 states, and these documents are unstructured, making it difficult to extract data from them. Sometimes they are in image format, and other times they are in PDF format. The 50 structured PDF documents from the insurance company are all 100 percent automated using UiPath Document Understanding. We are impressed with the machine learning and AI capabilities of Document Understanding. We can use APIs to identify whenever a vehicle accident is reported, which helps our business. Using the AI we can access vehicle accident reports and train the machine learning to understand the majority of the documents we extract information from to help improve our business processes. We use the UiPath platform orchestrator with an API to integrate with OpenAI. UiPath Document Understanding has helped our organization demonstrate to potential customers how the solution, together with AI and machine learning, can benefit their businesses. Before Document Understanding our process took 15 minutes per document and now it takes under one minute. Document Understanding has helped free up our staff's time to work on other projects.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that compared to other tools, HyperScience works best with handwritten documents."
"We have seen pretty good accuracy."
"One of the most valuable features of HyperScience is the user-training module. Whenever the extraction takes place, based on the way we have trained HyperScience, it would give us some success status or a certain confidence level. If the solution has processed something that it determined was not extracted correctly it will queue those items for manual review."
"Valuable features include tools like IQ Bot and the ability to extract handwritten documents with 93-95 per cent accuracy."
"What I liked more about HyperScience was the quality of the OCR it is a lot better compared to Google."
"Has algorithms that can detect a document template even if the image has a lot of distortions."
"It provides the best accuracy for handwritten forms, which is a struggle in the industry. You can take processes with a lot of manual work and streamline them through this tool."
"OCR technology is undoubtedly the most valuable feature and the feasibility of integrating data processes with AI and machine learning models is fascinating."
"The UiPath Document Understanding tool is very easy to use for document understanding."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's technical support is good."
"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."
"For me, the most valuable aspects of UiPath Document Understanding are its time efficiency and minimal human intervention."
"The most valuable feature is key-value pair and table extraction."
"The highly visual and user-friendly interface was a standout feature."
"The entity-level extraction is very good. The workflow is also very good."
 

Cons

"They could work on the price and make it a bit more reasonable."
"The product's usability could be better. The first pain point is that we're getting the output in a different format, and we were expecting a different timetable. The second point is that if you want better results, HyperScience says you have to configure a minimal PDF or a maximum of 400 PDFs. If you want results with 400 PDFs for what's written by these doctors, then you also configure the maximum of 400 templates for that. So, it's essentially a lack of support from HyperScience. In the next release, it would be better if failure scenarios were reduced. It would also help if they offered different formats, inputs or injections, and added different scenarios."
"HyperScience has less capability while working on unstructured forms. Unstructured forms are those where there is no standard structure and the information can be anywhere on the form. They need to develop this capability."
"No solution is perfect and there are several different scenarios that could be improved in HyperScience. One area is where there are multiple tables in the same form I have seen HyperScience struggle. There is some issue with supporting the extraction from multiple tables involved on the same form. If this could improve, it would be a big benefit."
"The solution lacks support for a greater range of languages."
"Extracting tables from certain documents could be improved."
"HyperScience could improve the unstructured data extraction feature."
"I would like to see more integration of artificial intelligence. That's being implemented, but it would be a massive improvement to the solution's document processing. If UiPath achieves intelligent document processing, it will be far better than anything on the market. There are currently some limitations with the fields that could be addressed using a GPT engine. With an integrated AI model, you wouldn't need to create your taxonomy. You would only need to provide some prompts, such as "What is the property name?" It will store that as a variable."
"Its pricing can be improved."
"I encountered difficulties with UiPath Document Understanding in determining the appropriate OCR to use for certain files."
"Currently, we have to train multiple templates because the column size and row size change in each PDF."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in UiPath Document Understanding's pricing. It is expensive for small clients. Currently, there is a big gap between the basic package and the 200,000 packages. There is no package in the middle for small agencies."
"The coding machine learning could be a little bit better."
"UiPath Document Understanding can improve its handwriting and signature recognition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any idea about the licensing costs, but I know that there was a per-page charge. They had different models of pricing. One of them was based on the minimum number of pages, and we had a fixed price. So, the price model depends on the volume that is coming through HyperScience."
"I think HyperScience is cheaper when compared to other tools. They also have a lifetime licensing option."
"Our clients are concerned about the volume-based pricing model, as UiPath charges more than other vendors in the market."
"While Robotic Process Automation tools can be expensive, UiPath Document Understanding is no exception."
"I used the community version, so there was no fee."
"The solution’s cost increases for machine learning or artificial intelligence because we have to go for UiPath Orchestrator."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"UiPath's pricing model is complex and based on AI units, which are consumed during model training and use."
"The cost per license is significant, approaching ten thousand dollars."

I am not aware of the pricing details. My manager handles that, and as far as I know, Instabase is more expensive.
What needs improvement with UiPath Document Understanding?
Right now, we are trying to use Instabase, which is another tool for document understanding. It may be one one step ahead. It is faster than UiPath.
