KODAK Info Input Solution Reviews

I work with a company that deals with safety and we normally have clients. We send our field teams to go and do inspections. They come with a lot of forms, a lot of checklists, and reports from different sites. Instead of manually typing all that information on inspection forms and checklists, we scan and upload it into KODAK Info Input Solution.

KODAK Info Input Solution automatically extracts our details. For example, it extracts client name, inspection date, risk level, and if they inspected the condition of equipment, it can also extract that. After extraction, we send that data to a database.

Before the data goes to the database, someone has to approve it. They check, organize the data, and verify any small errors. Then after approval, we can send it to storage or generate reports.

I like many aspects of KODAK Info Input Solution. For example, it saves our time on paperwork, which is how we were doing it initially. We are also reducing human errors. If you are typing in manually, you can misspell a wrong date or miss some fields, and KODAK helps with that.

Another feature I like about it is one that was introduced about three months back. If you upload something and your data connection is weak or not on, KODAK Info Input Solution can store your documents temporarily within 24 hours. When you restore your internet connection, your documents are uploaded again.

We do use the extraction feature because the whole idea is about that. You scan, and after scanning, KODAK Info Input Solution extracts the data from your form or documents. It takes characters and everything, then converts them into a form format. We also use a feature that appears to be integrated with AI that can summarize what you have scanned.

One area of KODAK Info Input Solution that I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future is support, especially sales support. Technical support is adequate. For example, when we were negotiating about the pricing of the solution, the sales support was interested more in us buying the plan, but they were not explaining what the benefits of this solution are or how it is going to help us. The focus was specifically on buying the plan, which I saw was not good.

Another thing is about the interface. The interface should be improved. It looks a little bit outdated compared to other modern SaaS platforms. If they can improve on the UI and interface, that would be helpful.

To be honest, what we purchased KODAK Info Input Solution for is executing our plan. I don't think I'm not aware about that. Maybe other features should be included, but the features we currently have in KODAK Info Input Solution help execute our plan. If they can improve on analytics, that would be great. The AI summary can tell you what you have, but analytics are not adequate. As I mentioned before, we have to export our data to another third-party tool, Tableau, to analyze our data.

I have been using KODAK Info Input Solution for around nine months.

We haven't had any crashes, downtimes, or performance issues with KODAK Info Input Solution. For these past nine months, we haven't had any downtime. I observed that as long as you properly set it up at first, do your workflows, and set up your database correctly, you should not get any downtime.

I find KODAK Info Input Solution scalable because we have what I can call seasons or peak times where we receive many documents. We can receive many documents today and tomorrow we might not. But even though we receive many documents, KODAK Info Input Solution can process all those documents and extract all those documents. In terms of scalability, I can give it a 10 out of 10.

For the technical support team of KODAK Info Input Solution, I can give it a nine, but for the sales team, I give it a six.

We were using manual paperwork and also Microsoft Acrobat prior to adopting KODAK Info Input Solution.

We started with the client side for KODAK Info Input Solution. We installed it and configured the application on the end user machine. Then we moved to the server side in the cloud. We did implementation and workflow execution, then we set up data extraction rules.

After, we did a database setup. We structured how extracted information will be stored, for example, how compliance data, client inspection records, and historical reports will be organized. This is the data we get from our clients. After that, we tested it using real data. We never tested with demo data. We tested with actual data. After testing, we started deployment and our staff started using it.

The deployment of KODAK Info Input Solution was done by an internal team, including me.

KODAK Info Input Solution was recommended by our partners. When they visited our site and workplace, they suggested that we were wasting time on manual paperwork and that we could use this software called KODAK Info Input Solution to extract data automatically.

The return on investment with KODAK Info Input Solution is excellent. I can give it a nine or 10 because it has helped us so much. We pay $4,800 annually, but in return, it saves a lot of our time.

KODAK Info Input Solution starts from implementation, depending on where you are going to implement it. For us, we implemented it on cloud. We are paying $4,800 including server cost and licensing cost.

I did not buy KODAK Info Input Solution through the AWS Marketplace. I bought KODAK Info Input Solution directly.

Data processing efficiency is something we evaluate. After extracting our data and storing it, we have a software called Tableau. We export database tables and push them to Tableau for analysis. KODAK Info Input Solution is not used for generating analytics and other data analysis tasks. We use Tableau for that purpose. We export data from the database and push it to Tableau for analysis.

I can give two pieces of advice regarding KODAK Info Input Solution. First, they should train their staff because KODAK Info Input Solution is simple to use, but it has a little bit of an outdated interface. You should train your staff on how to use it if you want to maximize it well. Second, at first, you should test using real data instead of demo data. Testing with real data shows how it works and whether it will execute your ideas. For example, if you are receiving handwritten documents, can it scan and extract data?

To be honest, the deployment of KODAK Info Input Solution was not easy. It took around more than a week, approximately nine days, and we are three people. It is a complex process.

We use AWS as the cloud provider for KODAK Info Input Solution. I would rate this review overall as an 8.

Our use case is document processing.

The data extraction feature is what I prefer most about the KODAK Info Input Solution. I also appreciate the integrations, data validation, and onboarding process.

In terms of using the solution's advanced data extraction capabilities, the manual entry during the extraction process makes it easy to extract data from documents, such as from email, scanner, or mobile devices, as well as cloud storage. The extraction of data may also occur on the APR systems, which helps extract the actual data and enter it in the system compared to manual data entry. This automation helps get data directly from other systems and ecosystems where data resides, allowing it to be imported into the same system, where it can be easily validated and directly linked to existing systems.

The KODAK Info Input Solution collects data automatically, which saves time, unlike when someone has to enter data manually. It saves approximately 25% of time.

Regarding integration with existing systems, KODAK Info Input Solution integrates with most services such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, as well as other tools such as Salesforce. This integration is easy, and these connectors are straightforward to configure, helping manage documents from all those services. It becomes easy because of its simple connections.

The solution's intelligent automation feature is faster compared to other services. Because it is faster and works quickly, it becomes effortless to use the intelligent system since everything operates smoothly upon following commands.

The multi-language support feature is particularly useful because some documents are sent and some onboarding processes are done in different languages, making it valuable to understand the documents sent.

The multi-language support is important for ensuring compliance with various regulatory requirements because, with the system supporting multiple languages, users can translate various languages and access documents and services from different locations easily, accommodating team members from diverse backgrounds who may not speak English, such as those who only know Chinese or French.

The KODAK Info Input Solution can improve its connection with scanners. It connects most effectively with Kodak's own scanners, specifically the S S S SMAX Scanners, while connections with other brands, such as Epson or HP, can take more time.

We have been using the KODAK Info Input Solution since implementing it one year ago.

The deployment process is neither easy nor complex; it is a medium process. When deploying the system, several tests must be conducted.

Since the KODAK Info Input Solution required many tests and deployment to different places and devices, it took approximately one month to complete the full deployment of the system.

I rate the stability of the KODAK Info Input Solution 10 out of 10.

I rate the scalability of the KODAK Info Input Solution 10 out of 10 because it is faster, sustainable, and simple to use.

I would rate their technical support 10 out of 10.

Positive

Other solutions I have used include the HP solutions.

The features that may be missing can typically be found in the connectors with other software where they integrate. Therefore, I don't think there's a valid reason to state that something must be improved, except for the scanner connection.

My estimate for the return on investment would be approximately 15%.

When comparing the KODAK Info Input Solution to other vendors on the market, I find that Kodak's intelligence and automation are superior. In terms of errors, other systems sometimes make repetitive errors when extracting data, whereas KODAK Info Input Solution does not, and it performs better than all the other solutions I have used. The onboarding process, business strategy processing advantage, software connections, and document management run better with KODAK Info Input Solution.

We use the KODAK Info Input Solution on-premises.

I recommend the KODAK Info Input Solution to other users because it addresses service delivery effectively and is easy to monitor and use. It includes additional features and applications such as accounts payable applications and onboarding applications, which are user-friendly and important for users. Additionally, customer support is friendly, offering assistance before they proceed with anything else.

I rate the KODAK Info Input Solution 10 out of 10.

I will use KODAK Info Input Solution in our college for admissions processing. When many people come for admissions, I use this to scan their data and automatically store that record into my File Explorer. By using this, we can avoid important mistakes on the client papers. Before this, we would manually type all student data, like their Aadhaar card and PAN card. By using KODAK Info Input Solution, we can scan the document, which automatically enters all details, allowing us to avoid mistakes in this way.

It was very easy to use KODAK Info Input Solution after the setup process. We just open it, create a batch, and scan our input document for data extraction. At first, I thought it would be very complex, but it is not that complex. The overall use case is very easy, so I think this is the favorite feature.

By using this solution, we can avoid important mistakes on the client papers. Before this, we would manually type all student data, such as their Aadhaar card and PAN card. By using KODAK Info Input Solution, we can scan the document, which automatically enters all details, allowing us to avoid mistakes in this way.

Sometimes there is an accuracy problem with KODAK Info Input Solution. When the document is not scanned properly, the accuracy problem arises. From old Xerox copies, if the handwriting is not clear, accuracy is a small problem. Sometimes while connecting to the database, it shows errors, such as SQL login failed, your port is blocked, or not reachable. If they improve this, it will be very good.

I have been using it for the past two months.

While connecting with the database, there is a small issue at some times. For stability, I can give six out of ten.

KODAK Info Input Solution has good scalability. I have been using it for two months, and during these two months, there has been no re-install or re-setup process required. They have good scalability.

I contact KODAK Info Input Solution's technical support. It is available all the time. It would be more interactive so I could get support from them more effectively.

It is a little complex to set up KODAK Info Input Solution.

We need to set up the client-side first, then we need to set up the server-side. Then we need to set up the databases. Then we need to start the action and begin performing tasks.

One person is enough because they are going to do it on a single laptop, so one person is sufficient.

Before using KODAK Info Input Solution, we would generally use Document Scanner, which is an app. We would use it to scan documents, and after that, we would ask some systems to read it and enter the data. For example, IBM DataCap, the enterprise data capture, is mostly used in enterprise settings, but I tried it as well. It gives the data automatically when you scan a document, and it fills it automatically.

KODAK Info Input Solution has moderate pricing. The initial license was not too high, but while offering a license to them, there is a small issue there. My review rating for this solution is seven point five out of ten.

We are a stationery service, one of the largest stationery services, and we use KODAK Info Input Solution for scanning and document printing because it connects with different scanners and is easy to manage documents in different sizes.

We can print work in different sizes, and that is why I specialize in that aspect.

The feature I appreciate most about KODAK Info Input Solution is the scanner, particularly the office scanner feature.

I noticed the benefits of KODAK Info Input Solution immediately after starting to use it.

The only area I think KODAK Info Input Solution could improve on is making their user interface more user-friendly and offering full customer customization of features.

Positive

The installation of KODAK Info Input Solution was easy.

The full installation took around 3 days because we first had to go for a trial installation.

After the trials, they completed the full installation, which took 2 days for the trials, and then the last day was for the full installation.

Three specialists were required for the deployment of KODAK Info Input Solution.

I find the pricing of KODAK Info Input Solution to be friendly and affordable because before implementing the software in our company, our system manager discussed it with us and we found the pricing to be reasonable, which is why we recommended it.

We have used an alternative solution called PaperCut to KODAK Info Input Solution.

Before asking about PeerSpot, I want to know how it works because it's my first time hearing about it.

I was referred the link by the vendor, so I don't know how it works or operates.

KODAK Info Input Solution does not require any maintenance on my end.

We are users of KODAK Info Input Solution and do not have any partnerships with them.

If KODAK Info Input Solution requests, they can have my email address.

I rate KODAK Info Input Solution 10 out of 10 so far.

I primarily use Kodak Info Input Solution for processing procurement documents, managing certificates of insurance and W-9s, and processing medical healthcare claims.

The initial setup for new users may require some time, but the process is quick to learn, and the benefits are readily apparent.

Kodak Info Input Solution offers significant versatility and control by allowing multiple OCR engines without needing knowledge-based models. This solution extends beyond invoices and procurement to handle various documents with extensive customization options.

KODAK Info Input Solution does not require building knowledge-based models, unlike Ancora software. This flexibility and ease of use, especially in scenarios with simple invoice processing, make it a very useful tool.

The extensibility and provision for customization, such as the ability to write JavaScript, increase its appeal.

The most valuable feature of KODAK Info Input Solution is the open intelligence piece, the ability to consume five different OCR engines.

The most significant area for improvement in the KODAK Info Input Solution is its ability to support custom definitions and auto-learn. Currently, it lacks the crucial capability to automatically learn and adjust extraction models when data is extracted from incorrect areas. While this feature is reportedly on the development roadmap, the absence of auto-learning puts KODAK at a disadvantage compared to competitors like Ancora, which offers this functionality. Ideally, the system should identify extraction errors, update the model accordingly, and then correctly extract data from similar invoices in the future.

I have been using the KODAK Info Input Solution for more than two years.

The stability of the KODAK Info Input Solution is excellent with minimal issues. In case of any problems, support provides hotfixes promptly. We have deployed it for 12 customers without any stability concerns.

One of the best features of the KODAK Info Input Solution is its scalability without additional licensing costs. This allows us to utilize all available CPUs and processors for multithreading the OCR engine, unlike competitors like SideGen, which charge per CPU. Additionally, the solution supports complete load balancing, enabling core services to scale to millions of images by simply adding servers and utilizing Apache Tomcat redirects for load balancing.

The KODAK Info Input Solution's customer support is the best. The team is based out of Greece and comprises highly intelligent developers. I value this as a participant who deploys their technology.

Positive

For invoice processing, both Ancora and Kodak offer custom definitions, but Kodak's advantage lies in its out-of-the-box functionality for simple invoices with header/footer data, making it a cost-effective choice for smaller tasks. While Ancora excels in complex procurement scenarios due to its custom definitions, it's limited to invoices and procurement documents. Kodak, on the other hand, offers greater versatility and extensibility, applicable to various document types and allowing for JavaScript customization. This level of control and adaptability makes Kodak a preferred choice despite Ancora's strengths in specific situations.

The initial setup for KODAK Info Input Solution is straightforward and quick, taking only about 30 minutes. Once installed, creating an invoice processing job takes approximately ten minutes. In contrast, setting up a similar job in Ancora could take days.

The implementation was done in-house. I have one colleague who assists me with the deployment and implementation.

Although KODAK Info Input Solution's pricing is competitive within the industry's consumption-based model, its approach is overly complex. Since they lack a proprietary engine, users must purchase separate consumption licenses, seat licenses, and an engine license. This seat-based pricing discourages use as it restricts access. While understandable given their history with BPOs focused on high-volume paper processing, this model seems outdated for modern intelligent processing needs.

I would rate the KODAK Info Input Solution a seven out of ten.

Maintenance is required for the KODAK Info Input Solution when hosted on-premises; new product releases are regularly made.

The KODAK Info Input Solution offers five different engines, Azure, AWS, GenAI, Google, and ABBYY, each with its own consumption method, pricing structure, and licensing model. This flexibility, while beneficial, requires careful consideration of your use case and budget. For example, Azure offers prebuilt and custom options, including on-premise deployment, each with varying costs. AWS, Google, and ABBYY have distinct approaches to GenAI, custom queries, and licensing. Since most engines charge per page, it's crucial to understand these factors to optimize costs and avoid overspending. Choosing the right engine and deployment strategy is essential for maximizing the solution's value.

Mostly we use KODAK Info Input Solution for document management.

What I appreciate about KODAK Info Input Solution is the document extraction, whereby we can scan the documents and share them via emails and download them when needed. Another feature is the data connectors. We find that the data connectors easily connect and allow easy file exchanges between different tools.

Regarding data accuracy, when using KODAK Info Input Solution's advanced data extractors, the data transfers are able to connect with other tools. When they connect with other tools, the exchange of data is easy and eliminates errors that could result from manual entry. This tool is supported with scanners which are able to scan the documents, resulting in significant time savings compared to manual data entry. The minimum errors which could occur during typing and processing are eliminated because the real document is being scanned and transferred better.

The intelligent automation feature of KODAK Info Input Solution helps in converting data. For example, when you scan a document in PDF, you can easily transfer it to become a searchable PDF through the AI automation feature which converts documents to the desired format.

The main challenge concerns the mobile application. KODAK Info Input Solution previously had a mobile application where data could be controlled via a mobile device. However, since last year, that mobile application has not been improved, and it is not supported on the upgraded version of the mobile operating system. Currently, KODAK Info Input Solution only operates effectively on operating systems such as Windows and Linux.

I have been using KODAK Info Input Solution for three years.

Technical support for KODAK Info Input Solution deserves a rating of 10.

Positive

The deployment for KODAK Info Input Solution on-prem was easy.

Due to the fact that we deployed KODAK Info Input Solution on a single server, it took very little time, approximately two days to start running it.

It has saved around 15%.

The ability for KODAK Info Input Solution to integrate with other tools makes it effective in eliminating manual errors. When it integrates with other tools successfully, there is exchange of data, which increases productivity as the process becomes faster compared to using a single tool without connectors or integrators.

As a scriptwriter, when there is a need for scanning scripts and printing out scripts, KODAK Info Input Solution's printers and scanners are connected to it. Using the Smart Touch Technology, documents can be easily scanned and sent. After writing a script, you can scan it and send it to any location among the team members linked to KODAK Info Input Solution or send it via email. This improves work processes and enhances data sharing. Additionally, KODAK Info Input Solution saves information for 24 hours in case of system breakdown, preventing data loss.

KODAK Info Input Solution is cost-effective and efficient. We have 20 users. The solution requires maintenance, but it is easy to maintain as it automatically updates itself in most cases.

What makes KODAK Info Input Solution perfect is that it has comprehensive capabilities, features, and tools including its own printers and scanners that can easily connect and share information. Because it has everything in one package, it can provide all system needs, making it the best software compared to others that require purchasing additional tools for connectivity and safe operation.

I recommend KODAK Info Input Solution to other users, particularly those who handle large volumes of documents and office users. This tool saves time that would otherwise be spent typing. When you scan a document in PDF, it can be easily converted to an editable format for making changes, compared to other tools that require typing everything from beginning to end. It simplifies the official processing of documents.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate KODAK Info Input Solution a 10.

We use Kodak Info Input Solution to track information and create digitization profiles within our Mexican government office. This software allows us to extract, digitize, and organize information from documents using our Kodak scanners. Additionally, we've implemented various live workflows for document processing. To accommodate offices lacking the necessary drivers, we also provide access to the software as a service for document digitization.

We saw the benefits within the first four months of using the KODAK Info Input Solution.

The KODAK Info Input Solution offers fast workflows for extracting information from even the largest documents. Using machine learning and artificial intelligence, the system quickly processes and extracts necessary information, facilitating rapid indexing and organization of papers. This efficient handling of large documentation workflows significantly benefits our operations.

Integrating KODAK Info Input Solution with other software, such as Laserfiche, presents challenges due to inadequate documentation and an unintuitive web services interface. The lack of clear guidance necessitates reliance on individuals with prior experience, while the insufficient documentation compels the hiring of Python experts to ensure successful integration.

I have been using the KODAK Info Input Solution for about a year.

The KODAK Info Input Solution is stable. We do not have a lot of workflows or users, and the system works quite well within our setup.

The technical support took more time than expected. Despite being a pilot project, it involved numerous emails, calls, and meetings without quick resolutions. The provider was often unclear about the product's scope and capabilities.

Neutral

The deployment was challenging due to its lack of user-friendliness, requiring specialized personnel from the provider and presenting a steep learning curve with complex technical requirements for the initial setup.

We had issues with a number of licenses that were closed. 

The deployment required an entire team involving server management, IT support, and development personnel. My role was to translate user requirements to the deployment team and maintain contact with the provider.

The pricing of KODAK Info Input Solution in Mexico is very expensive, and the government's purchasing process requires convincing many stakeholders. Integration difficulties and a lack of intuitive design make it hard to showcase the software's value, complicating justification for the cost.

The overall rating for KODAK Info Input Solutions is seven out of ten. Although powerful, the software is hindered by a support team unfamiliar with its functionalities, resulting in a frustrating user experience.

Our team manages both maintenance and automatic updates through the portal.
