All-in-one platform, simple billing processes, and reliable technical support
We use Kofax TotalAgility for accounts payable We are currently processing over 60,000 invoices per month with no more than 25 individuals. The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development. The form…

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

"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."
"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."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer."
"It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"The best feature, in my opinion, is, we can train the document using a machine-learning classifier."
"I like the clear and organized way in which UiPath has structured the labeling process, as well as the user-friendly development environment."
"Document Understanding has better machine learning or ML capabilities, and that is why I prefer 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."
"The solution removes manual processes and reduces human dependency. It takes a lot of effort to go through each physical mail or email, extract the data and transfer it to Excel. However, the solution automates the process and works 24/7. The tool gives a complete package to process and understand documents. The valuable features include taxonomy modification, classification, workstation, etc. There are out-of-the-box features like ML models which you can custom build. We have saved time with UiPath Document Understanding. We have seen a 50 percent improvement in scanning processes. Compared to humans, the tool runs 24/7. The human error rate has also been reduced. Our human error rate is five percent now compared to the previous 15 percent. UiPath Document Understanding has also freed up our staff who now spend more time on critical tasks."
"The most valuable feature is key-value pair and table extraction."
"The UiPath Document Understanding tool is very easy to use for document understanding."
"AI Center is helpful for creating data sets. Machine learning helps with some extraction. The ML extractor gives good results after training."
 

Cons

"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
"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 is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"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."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The extraction and classification process should be simplified."
"The machine learning model needs improvement, as we receive more and more unstructured documents from clients that require a lot of manual validation."
"Right now, we are trying to use Instabase, which is another tool for document understanding."
"UiPath Document Understanding requires more database connectors."
"There is still room for enhancement in capturing line items from invoices."
"UiPath Document Understanding's ability to handle diverse document formats, including scans and signatures, needs improvement."
"Document Understanding would be improved with more AI platforms."
"It would be ideal if they could include more packages for more use cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution a nine."
"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."
"UiPath Document Understanding is expensive, with the basic annual package including 6,000 documents and the next package including one million documents, a huge price difference."
"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 fair."
"It's expensive, but you can reduce the price per license by getting more licenses. Overall, the pricing is okay."
"I find the pricing to be somewhat on the higher side."
