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

"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's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."
"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"The quality of the input documents is crucial because sometimes healthcare providers prefer automated processing rather than human review."
"The most valuable feature is key-value pair and table extraction."
"UiPath Document Understanding is user-friendly, with an easy-to-use self-trained model, and the OCR it provides does a good job even with scanned PDFs."
"The entity-level extraction is very good. The workflow is also very good."
"UiPath Document Understanding produces a high accuracy rate of 98 percent."
"I believe the most valuable feature is the prebuilt algorithm for extracting information from foreign invoices."
"The solution is quite stable, and I am happy with its performance in my programs and processes."
"The best feature, in my opinion, is, we can train the document using a machine-learning classifier."
 

Cons

"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
"The pricing for Kofax TotalAgility could be more attractive, particularly the cloud version of the solution which was offered to my company. This is its area for improvement."
"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."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"They often ask us to go through the documentation first instead of directly explaining or addressing the root cause of issues."
"The results of classifying patient documents within UiPath Document Understanding need to be more accurate."
"UiPath Document Understanding's ability to read handwritten files has room for improvement."
"Sometimes, when the number of items is very large, the solution doesn't properly identify them."
"Its pricing can be improved."
"Currently, we have to train multiple templates because the column size and row size change in each PDF."
"They can include some features in utilizing the product of assessment understanding, or more specifically, a better efficient handling of the ML skill, which right now is not that efficient."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very 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."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"We received a 60-day free trial before having to purchase a license to continue using UiPath Document Understanding."
"UiPath's pricing model is complex and based on AI units, which are consumed during model training and use."
"One of the biggest challenges we face with UiPath is the pricing structure."
"Document Understanding's price is quite high."
"For the licensing part, in our company, we initially started off with a monthly plan, but yearly plans are also there. Cost-wise, UiPath Document Understanding is good since it provides flexibility in its pricing."
"UiPath is a pricey tool for small customers."
"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."
"The last time we implemented UiPath Document Understanding the price was high."
