A stable and flexible product that provides excellent PDF classification and data extraction features
We use the solution mostly for supply chain management. We use it for invoice processing and bill of lading PDF classification and basic data extraction are useful features. Whenever there is a variation in the same set of formats, the product considers it an additional group of formats. It…

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

"The most valuable feature is the cognitive ability, as it will learn an interface that it is not familiar with and perform in the way that a human does."
"The ability to train itself is a good, valuable feature. It is one of the most stable RPA products at present. Installation is easy for IQ Bot, and they provide good technical support."
"The ability to differentiate between documents is valuable."
"IQ Bot is a useful and easy-to-use tool."
"IQ Bot has helped my organization transform digital documents and files into information to be processed."
"We have been using it only for two months, and so far, it is working fine. It is easy to use."
"The way that the learning combines with the OCR is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The efficiency with which it was able to categorize the different data types and the format."
"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."
"I believe the most valuable feature is the prebuilt algorithm for extracting information from foreign invoices."
"Has a very good machine learning feature."
"I found UiPath Document Understanding helpful in automating different types of processes. One process can be split into multiple processes or sub-processes. You can also use it for ID management or extracting data from IDs, such as passports or government-issued IDs, which I like."
"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 solution is quite stable, and I am happy with its performance in my programs and processes."
"UiPath enables us to automate manual tasks and duplicate them easily. The processes are highly accurate."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of UiPath Document Understanding."
 

Cons

"It should be easier to install and configure. We had some issues during the initial setup, and we are resolving them with the help of their support. Its initial setup is complex. Their web pages are not really structured. Because they have multiple products that are more or less similar, it is sometimes hard to understand which documentation you're actually reading and using. Their documentation and web pages should be structured in a better way. In terms of new features, it is a little too early to provide inputs. I need more real business cases to see what is lacking. We haven't yet got those. We are currently testing it from a technical point of view."
"Lacks sufficient flexibility in identifying a wider variety of documents."
"It would be good if the solution could extract or capture details from unstructured data."
"This solution could be improved by making it possible to add handwriting and signatures."
"The percentage of accuracy is very low. When I put documents in IQ Bot and the document format gets changed, IQ Bot puts that in the validation queue. If you are uploading 100 documents, the IQ Bot accepts only 60 documents. 40% or 30% of documents go to the validation queue. Accuracy is way low. They need to improve their accuracy level. It should be at least 90%."
"I think the problem is usually tuning it up, and trying to get the best performance — that takes some time."
"Could improve with regard to hand-written documents."
"One of the challenges that we faced was that the Automation Anywhere log files were being created and not cleaned up, which would eventually kill the bot."
"Document Understanding would be improved with more AI platforms."
"UiPath Document Understanding could be more user-friendly."
"An area for improvement in UiPath Document Understanding is data extraction from scanned documents. It could be better because I've observed a ten percent failure or flaw whenever the vendor scans and converts documents into PDFs."
"This is an expensive solution."
"It would be ideal if they could include more packages for more use cases."
"UiPath could improve its analytics and interface."
"There is room for improvement in handwriting processes."
"At times, the scanning functionality of the tool may fail to generate accurate output, resulting in the need for manual input."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated but I wouldn't say that they are expensive."
"The solution is cost-effective compared to other market tools."
"There are others like Automation Anywhere offering similar kinds of bots for less. Most of the platforms are the same, and most of the features are the same, but not the licensing cost."
"There are more affordable solutions than this."
"The cost can be high."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis, and I am happy with the pricing."
"Pricing is highly confidential because it is something that can be negotiated."
"The solution’s hardware cost is high."
"Document Understanding's price is quite high."
"UiPath Document Understanding compared to the competitors is high."
"One of the biggest challenges we face with UiPath is the pricing structure."
"UiPath is a pricey tool for small customers."
"Our clients are concerned about the volume-based pricing model, as UiPath charges more than other vendors in the market."
"I find the pricing to be fair."
"I have only been using its free version."
"I used the community version, so there was no fee."
