Abdul Quadir - PeerSpot reviewer
It has a lot of functionality, whatever we use, but a few things could be improved
Extracting tables from certain documents could be improved. The next product release should include a utility that provides HyperScience JSON output. It would be related to any application, like other platforms and include Power Apps. We need to impact their REST API, but we would need a connection bridge application. And the second feature would be HyperScience providing different outputs. At present, HyperScience only provides JSON output. If a business needs a different output, we must create the utility ourselves and provide that data to XML or something similar. But if HyperScience could do that, we would no longer need third-party apps.

The solution can process a large volume of invoices with a high success rate and little human validation
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. UiPath can read handwritten signatures with a success rate of around 70 percent. We've even processed pay slips in German. The language translations are around 90 percent accurate. The AI/ML component offers great flexibility in creating custom models. Its built-in models are also highly mature. The integration is seamless. We have RPA talking between our ERP systems and sharing information on the UiPath cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"We have seen pretty good accuracy."
"What I liked more about HyperScience was the quality of the OCR it is a lot better compared to Google."
"I like that compared to other tools, HyperScience works best with handwritten documents."
"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."
"Valuable features include tools like IQ Bot and the ability to extract handwritten documents with 93-95 per cent accuracy."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is the intelligent recognition of the fields. The algorithm is able to recognize them based on the pattern. Also, the machine learning model enables you to use predefined solutions. The machine-learning capabilities of the solution are very cool."
"The prebuilt algorithm for extracting foreign invoices is the most valuable feature because it eliminates the need for us to build anything from scratch."
"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."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's technical support is good."
"UiPath's Document Understanding significantly reduces the effort needed to train a machine-learning model for our documents."
"The solution is quite stable, and I am happy with its performance in my programs and processes."
"The entity-level extraction is very good. The workflow is also very good."
 

Cons

"The solution lacks support for a greater range of languages."
"They could work on the price and make it a bit more reasonable."
"HyperScience could improve the unstructured data extraction feature."
"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."
"Extracting tables from certain documents could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"UiPath Document Understanding's ability to read handwritten files has room for improvement."
"Currently, we have to train multiple templates because the column size and row size change in each PDF."
"The coding machine learning could be a little bit better."
"UiPath Document Understanding's ability to handle diverse document formats, including scans and signatures, needs improvement."
"The machine learning model needs improvement, as we receive more and more unstructured documents from clients that require a lot of manual validation."
"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."
"One area of improvement for UiPath Document Understanding is the accuracy of handwritten documents. While the solution supports handwritten documents, the accuracy percentage is not as high as desired."
"UiPath Document Understanding has difficulty identifying handwritten documents, and there is room for improvement."
 

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."
"The cost per license is significant, approaching ten thousand dollars."
"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."
"Our clients are concerned about the volume-based pricing model, as UiPath charges more than other vendors in the market."
"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."
"I find the pricing to be somewhat on the higher side."
"UiPath Document Understanding is priced high compared to its competition."
"UiPath is a pricey tool for small customers."

What do you like most about UiPath Document Understanding?
The solution allows us to continue with vendors whose information comes in correctly and to stop the automation for vendors with many items that are not clearly defined.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for UiPath Document Understanding?
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.
