Has faced challenges adapting to evolving capture methods and competitive integrations
It's difficult to say what I'd improve in Tungsten TotalAgility because we haven't been actively marketing that particular product in the last probably six to nine months. The speed of product development means that my experience with it is likely out of date in terms of the product suite capabilities. The difficulty with customers nowadays is that they are subject to the winds of change in terms of the adoption of cloud technologies and the offerings those cloud technologies bring. Microsoft, for instance, is rapidly filling in the spaces between various product areas that other vendors typically owned. That makes it difficult for customers to settle on their functional requirements because the offers are competing in the same space. I look for more integration with mainstream subscription based platforms, more security integration, and possibly some more lifecycle management features. However, the difficulty with that is the competition with existing options that people have in their subscription library.
Gangadhar Wali - PeerSpot reviewer
Pre-trained models work well, but it is very expensive
We have to do manual validation for some of the things due to the OCR engine not being so accurate. For example, S is read as 5, 5 as S, 2 as Z, and Z as 2. In the case of currency, if one dot is missing, it gives a completely incorrect number. These discrepancies should be fixed because if the OCR itself doesn't work properly, then AI doesn't help with that. When AI is used for training models, the AI Center works precisely, but if the data itself is wrong, we can't do anything. If the extraction of data is proper, it definitely helps. However, 20% errors could be reduced if the OCR engine were better. In future updates, I would like to see better handling of issues such as when a dot is missing in currency, for example, with dollars, it should handle that automatically. It's very expensive. If the volume increases, we can't afford to use Document Understanding. We are thinking of moving to another solution because we are expecting 80,000 to 100,000 invoices.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Essentially, Kofax TotalAgility as a whole is quite nice. As of now, we've only been able to use and explore its document classification and extraction capabilities. We haven't explored and used the case management capability yet, but the scan and capture capabilities we've been using heavily and those are quite good. Our solutions are mainly around those areas of Kofax TotalAgility. We haven't explored the product a lot, but the capabilities we've explored are good."
"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."
"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
"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 not so complex to design what you need to."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"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."
"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."
"UiPath's Document Understanding significantly reduces the effort needed to train a machine-learning model for our documents."
"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."
"With Document Understanding, tasks that would normally take eight hours manually can be completed in three to five hours. It still requires some human intervention, but 90 percent of the processing can be automated."
"The taxonomy and Validation Station are among the most helpful features for us. If anything is extracted incorrectly, we can manually extract it there."
"UiPath Document Understanding's image file extraction feature is the best in any OCR solution."
"The scalability it offers is truly exceptional, making it arguably the best in the market."
 

Cons

"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"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."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."
"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."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"The results of classifying patient documents within UiPath Document Understanding need to be more accurate."
"The UiPath APIs lack reliable table parsing."
"Existing models have room for improvement."
"Extending the trial period for UiPath Document Understanding from three to six months would allow organizations to evaluate their capabilities thoroughly."
"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."
"UiPath Document Understanding has difficulty identifying handwritten documents, and there is room for improvement."
"They could work on the digitizing and classification of documents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"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 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."
"UiPath is a pricey tool for small customers."
"UiPath Document Understanding compared to the competitors is high."
"The price is on the high end."
"The last time we implemented UiPath Document Understanding the price was high."
"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."
"UiPath Document Understanding offers fair pricing, primarily if you consider the number of resources and human work the solution reduces, plus the ROI you can get from it."
"The price for UiPath Document Understanding is a bit expensive."
"I do not know about its price, but for large organizations, UiPath is cheap, whereas, for small organizations, UiPath is high. For example, if 500 licenses are needed for one company, UiPath is cheap. If only 5 licenses are required, UiPath is costly."
