A powerful solution for custom scripting but .NET knowledge is required
Knowledge of .NET is required to effectively use the solution or it can be complicated. I was able to train customers to use the solution if they had some .NET experience. The solution should offer a lightweight version that includes the OCR or document scanning and does not include the entire enterprise package with custom scripting.
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

"It allows you to image capture, scan documents and use machine learning to automatically index and tie them."
"The automated version of the vendor invoice management is great."
"The solution is very powerful because it allows for custom scripting."
"The enterprise and capturing feature of OpenText is its valuable feature. As we have integrated CRM with OpenText."
"Being able to have accurate extraction is most valuable. It has machine learning and other tools to make the extraction more accurate."
"We use it to capture documents coming through our product and mobile channels and make them available for our business to access and email. We use it to automate the email workflow in our applications, pull the documents, and email them to the users."
"It's great for document understanding for invoices and installments."
"UiPath provides a useful feature that allows us to classify documents as invoices or not."
"UiPath Document Understanding's image file extraction feature is the best in any OCR solution."
"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."
"The UiPath Document Understanding tool is very easy to use for document understanding."
"It's helped us free up time for other staff projects."
"UiPath Document Understanding offers valuable features like Arabic language support, which is crucial for effective communication and automation in the Arabic-speaking world."
"The quality of the input documents is crucial because sometimes healthcare providers prefer automated processing rather than human review."
 

Cons

"Knowledge of .NET is required to effectively use the solution or it can be complicated."
"The setup is medium complexity."
"It can be more user-friendly, and it should also have more reporting capabilities. There are also a few other things that need improvement."
"We are using it to improve the image and the documentation for the cases. And sometimes, some cases have more than fifteen different types. We use some tools as fixed standard analysis and provide information to support the different types to take some decisions and help in an automated process. We choose the case type and subtype DNS scanning documents from the data entry up."
"The area for improvement primarily centers around licensing concerns rather than technical issues. Captiva, intended for larger clients, poses challenges for medium and small businesses due to licensing costs. The current licensing model is based on volume, such as purchasing a volume for one million dollars per year for scanning. This pricing structure may be prohibitive for companies with constrained budgets. Another aspect requiring attention is the mobile capture feature, which, although experiencing recent enhancements in intelligent document processing through AI, could benefit from further improvements. Specifically, there is room for enhancement in enabling users to efficiently capture documents using their smartphones."
"If something is handwritten and attached to an email, it doesn't capture the information correctly."
"I would say what most of the document management solutions are lacking is smartness to detect the duplicate storage of the documents"
"There is still room for enhancement in capturing line items from invoices."
"One area where UiPath could improve is by including pre-trained models for general-use documents specific to the Middle East."
"I encountered difficulties with UiPath Document Understanding in determining the appropriate OCR to use for certain files."
"UiPath Document Understanding has challenges with handwriting and screenshots."
"Making the design of Forms AI more flexible and accommodating to companies' branding preferences would be beneficial."
"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."
"Right now, we are trying to use Instabase, which is another tool for document understanding."
"The results of classifying patient documents within UiPath Document Understanding need to be more accurate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Some customers say the solution can get costly because it requires licenses or enterprise packages."
"OpenText is an expensive solution."
"It's expensive, but you can reduce the price per license by getting more licenses. Overall, the pricing is okay."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate UiPath Document Understanding an eight on cost."
"Our clients are concerned about the volume-based pricing model, as UiPath charges more than other vendors in the market."
"UiPath Document Understanding carries a premium price tag, but its current technological capabilities may not yet fully justify the cost."
"The price is on the high end."
"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."
"UiPath is a pricey tool for small customers."
