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 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."
"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."
"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."
"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 a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"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."
"There are many features that can be added to the action center to keep humans in the loop to evaluate the accuracy of the extracted data."
"UiPath's Document Understanding significantly reduces the effort needed to train a machine-learning model for our documents."
"The taxonomy and Validation Station are among the most helpful features for us. If anything is extracted incorrectly, we can manually extract it there."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's technical support is good."
"The entity-level extraction is very good. The workflow is also very good."
"It has advanced capabilities compared to other competitors, whether Blue Prism or Automation Anywhere."
"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."
"UiPath provides a useful feature that allows us to classify documents as invoices or not."
 

Cons

"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"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."
"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers."
"Room for improvement would be better OCR functionality in terms of Arabic OCR. There should be better accuracy."
"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"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."
"Sometimes, when the number of items is very large, the solution doesn't properly identify them."
"They could work on the digitizing and classification of documents."
"The extraction and classification process should be simplified."
"I would like to see more integration of artificial intelligence. That's being implemented, but it would be a massive improvement to the solution's document processing. If UiPath achieves intelligent document processing, it will be far better than anything on the market. There are currently some limitations with the fields that could be addressed using a GPT engine. With an integrated AI model, you wouldn't need to create your taxonomy. You would only need to provide some prompts, such as "What is the property name?" It will store that as a variable."
"UiPath Document Understanding's ability to handle diverse document formats, including scans and signatures, needs improvement."
"Right now, we are trying to use Instabase, which is another tool for document understanding."
"Currently, we have to train multiple templates because the column size and row size change in each PDF."
"The signature and handwriting are a pain point for the OCR and have room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price is on the high end."
"UiPath Document Understanding is priced high compared to its competition."
"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."
"I have only been using its free version."
"I find the pricing to be fair."
"One of the biggest challenges we face with UiPath is the pricing structure."
"The price for UiPath Document Understanding is a bit expensive."
