Featured Reviews

Neethushree S - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly and code reusability feature for efficient utilization of existing code repositories
Building IQ bots is time-consuming. Initially, script-wise, it would take a lot of time and also the testing of testing part of it. Probably there might be something that has been advanced now, but I'm talking about before six months. Maybe there has been an enhancement, but during the time that we were working, the time that would take up to build the requirements initially would need a lot of time. In future releases, Automation Anywhere should promote this product more to make it more visible. It should be promoted to increase its visibility and awareness.
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

"The product's intelligent OCR capabilities are particularly effective for data extraction. It utilizes AI models that require only one or two templates to process all invoices."
"We have been using it only for two months, and so far, it is working fine. It is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of IQ Bot is that any user can customize it on their own, and they don't need to get in touch with Automation Anywhere."
"The flexibility to deploy based on the different types is the most valuable. We can deploy pieces of the program directly over the fields. We can also directly connect with databases. We can modify it and make different connections with the database. We are also able to programmably modify the fields and change the presentation and values or evaluate a list of values. We can change the values on the fly. It is very flexible and very easy to use and learn. It is also very simple."
"IQ Bot is quite user-friendly. And the drag-and-drop option is there, which makes the developer more comfortable."
"IQ Bot is relatively easy to use and develop."
"The character recognition feature is very good."
"Our mainframe-based and web-based projects are working well, with no issues."
"Document classification is very good."
"The best feature, in my opinion, is, we can train the document using a machine-learning classifier."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's technical support is good."
"Document Understanding has better machine learning or ML capabilities, and that is why I prefer Document Understanding."
"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."
"For me, the most valuable aspects of UiPath Document Understanding are its time efficiency and minimal human intervention."
"UiPath Document Understanding produces a high accuracy rate of 98 percent."
"UiPath Document Understanding offers valuable features like Arabic language support, which is crucial for effective communication and automation in the Arabic-speaking world."
 

Cons

"When you update to a new version, you have to migrate your applications. That should be automated because it should not affect your ability to complete the task. If the version of the application changes, then you need to automate some part of that again."
"If even a small change is made to a PDF format, IQ Bot may fail to read it and require me to go back and create a new learning instance."
"I know that Automation Anywhere just said that IQ Bot 11 and higher versions are ready to extract the documents with less than 300 DPI, however, this is not true. I never could work with documents with less than 300 DPI."
"IQ Bot could improve the documentation."
"Product algorithms could be improved."
"It would be helpful if the IQ Bot OCR could be integrated with third-party solutions like FlexiCapture."
"Better customization in terms of mapping would be an improvement."
"Could improve with regard to hand-written documents."
"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 rising annual licensing cost of UiPath's Document Understanding product is a major turnoff for users."
"The solution must localize the built-in features for supporting Arabic scripts so we do not rely on third-party tools."
"The machine learning model needs improvement, as we receive more and more unstructured documents from clients that require a lot of manual validation."
"One area where UiPath could improve is by including pre-trained models for general-use documents specific to the Middle East."
"If there were more integrations with Veracode or the AWS server, so we don't have to completely transfer our data and keep data on our servers, that might increase security."
"I encountered difficulties with UiPath Document Understanding in determining the appropriate OCR to use for certain files."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is highly confidential because it is something that can be negotiated."
"It has an average cost."
"With the Cloud, the price goes up and down. You only pay for what you use."
"The solution’s hardware cost is high."
"I feel that the price of IQ Bot could be lower."
"The price could be lower."
"The price of IQ Bot could improve by being less expensive."

"The cost per license is significant, approaching ten thousand dollars."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution a nine."
"UiPath's pricing model is complex and based on AI units, which are consumed during model training and use."
"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."
