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
ManinderSodhi - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
"The product is really good, and it is easy to use. It comes with multiple integrations. The solution keeps up with the trend of Microsoft Copilot and AI."
"It is user-friendly and has good documentation. It's good for developing communication and has a lot of the APIs needed for this purpose. There aren't a lot of software options available from this time period; this is the only one from 2013 that has this concept of microservices."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."
"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."
"Document classification is very good."
"It shortens the time of extracting data by 70 to 80%."
"Has a very good machine learning feature."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of UiPath Document Understanding."
"In UiPath Document Understanding, I use two extractors. One is the Intelligent Form Extractor and the other is the Machine Learning Extractor. The first one is very useful and user-friendly. When we have a single template or two to three templates, Intelligent Form Extractor is much easier to use. But if we have multiple templates, it's better to go with ML Extractor as you can train the model with different templates."
"The UiPath Document Understanding tool is very easy to use for document understanding."
"The scalability it offers is truly exceptional, making it arguably the best in the market."
 

Cons

"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
"The one thing I would like to see more of right now: is a simplified form creation. That would be the most significant improvement I would like to see in their product."
"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."
"TotalAgility needs to improve communication with ECMs or other file storage systems because TotalAgility does not have file storage. A good improvement would be to create file storage or integrate with other file storage tools that are currently available."
"I would like more flexibility in Document Understanding's validation center."
"The UiPath APIs lack reliable table parsing."
"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."
"Making the design of Forms AI more flexible and accommodating to companies' branding preferences would be beneficial."
"At times, the scanning functionality of the tool may fail to generate accurate output, resulting in the need for manual input."
"Right now, we are trying to use Instabase, which is another tool for document understanding. It may be one step ahead. It is faster than UiPath."
"UiPath Document Understanding can improve its handwriting and signature recognition."
"The machine learning model needs improvement, as we receive more and more unstructured documents from clients that require a lot of manual validation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"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."
"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."
"UiPath has a higher upfront cost, but its Document Understanding feature is not a significant additional expense compared to the overall platform."
"UiPath Document Understanding is considered a bit expensive compared to other options like Microsoft Azure, which can offer similar quality at a more affordable rate."
"I find the pricing to be somewhat on the higher side."
"The solution’s cost increases for machine learning or artificial intelligence because we have to go for UiPath Orchestrator."
"Document Understanding's price is quite high."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate UiPath Document Understanding an eight on cost."
"We received a 60-day free trial before having to purchase a license to continue using UiPath Document Understanding."
"UiPath Document Understanding is priced high compared to its competition."
