it_user1648179 - PeerSpot reviewer
OCR Developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
A stable and scalable smart content acquisition and data classification solution with a useful inject feature
I would advise potential users that Ephesoft Transact is an easy tool to handle. The UI isn't complex, and even if everything isn't handled at the UI level, they can work with the script. You can also handle issues with scripts. I believe Ephesoft Transact is one of the best tools because the UI is an easy one. The UI-level design makes it easy to handle the development and the superior Ephesoft support system. They will give you quick support to resolve issues and provide training materials. They will train the developer, and after training the developers, they will also support them. That's a good good thing that I saw. Initially, when I joined this project, I also had less knowledge. But with the help of this support system and the training material, I now have superior knowledge. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Ephesoft Transact a nine.
Gangadhar Wali - PeerSpot reviewer
Founder and COO at InVibes
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

"I like the inject feature. With desktop injects, we're doing all these things and extracting these things. Its stable, scalable, and technical support is good."
"I have found the keyword extraction to be helpful."
"I believe Ephesoft Transact is one of the best tools because the UI is an easy one."
"Transact's best feature is its ease of customization."
"Transact's best feature is its ease of customization."
"The scalability it offers is truly exceptional, making it arguably the best in the market."
"This solution has played a significant role in drastically reducing human errors by ensuring that 95% to 98% of tasks are done through the system."
"The main benefits that UiPath Document Understanding provides include an increase in productivity, as it takes over tasks from humans, especially in Italy, where finding qualified people is challenging."
"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."
"We can integrate document understanding with other systems and applications."
"It's great for document understanding for invoices and installments."
"One of the most valuable features is the intelligent recognition of the fields. The algorithm is able to recognize them based on the pattern. Also, the machine learning model enables you to use predefined solutions. The machine-learning capabilities of the solution are very cool."
"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."
 

Cons

"Transact could be improved by removing Java and making its pricing more accessible for smaller customers."
"It's not easy to train."
"Transact could be improved by removing Java and making its pricing more accessible for smaller customers."
"Their email service and extraction could be better. We get the input via email, and these emails contain different types of documents like Excel, PDF, or they may contain different content in the email body."
"Their email service and extraction could be better. We get the input via email, and these emails contain different types of documents like Excel, PDF, or they may contain different content in the email body. Due to this variation, sometimes the email service crashes, and emails aren't redirected to Ephesoft Transact. Ephesoft has provided us with new hotfixes. Whatever flaws we found in the 2019.2 version, they have already updated it in the new version, 20.1.05, and it's already released. Drawbacks like not capturing the handwritten fields are now sorted."
"There is room for improvement in UiPath Document Understanding's pricing. It is expensive for small clients. Currently, there is a big gap between the basic package and the 200,000 packages. There is no package in the middle for small agencies."
"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."
"There is still room for enhancement in capturing line items from invoices."
"Right now, we are trying to use Instabase, which is another tool for document understanding."
"UiPath Document Understanding's ability to read handwritten files has room for improvement."
"They could work on the digitizing and classification of documents."
"It would be ideal if they could include more packages for more use cases."
"Its pricing can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Transact's pricing could be better for smaller customers."
"Initially, when I got a licensed copy of Ephesoft Transact, it was for one year. After one year, we had to send an email to the Ephesoft team informing them that our license was going to expire. They updated it and provided one license in our file, and we had to update and install the folder. They have versions for one year and lifelong as well."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution a nine."
"The solution’s cost increases for machine learning or artificial intelligence because we have to go for UiPath Orchestrator."
"I used the community version, so there was no fee."
"The cost per license is significant, approaching ten thousand dollars."
"UiPath has a higher upfront cost, but its Document Understanding feature is not a significant additional expense compared to the overall platform."
"It's expensive, but you can reduce the price per license by getting more licenses. Overall, the pricing is okay."
"UiPath's pricing model is complex and based on AI units, which are consumed during model training and use."
"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."
