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 The speed of product development means that my experience with it is likely out of date in terms of the product suite capabilities.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

"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence."
"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."
"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."
"Recently, they have introduced GenAI, which allows us to extract documents even faster and without hurdles."
"AI Center is helpful for creating data sets. Machine learning helps with some extraction. The ML extractor gives good results after training."
"UiPath provides a useful feature that allows us to classify documents as invoices or not."
"The most valuable feature of UiPath Document Understanding is the AI Center."
"The UiPath Document Understanding tool is very easy to use for document understanding."
"The most valuable feature in UiPath Document Understanding is the identification of the fields column in the PDF documents."
"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."
 

Cons

"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers."
"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."
"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"They never stressed the lifecycle document management aspects of regulated processes effectively, which I think possibly represents a weakness."
"Its pricing can be improved."
"UiPath Document Understanding can improve its handwriting and signature recognition."
"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."
"The machine learning model needs improvement, as we receive more and more unstructured documents from clients that require a lot of manual validation."
"Extending the trial period for UiPath Document Understanding from three to six months would allow organizations to evaluate their capabilities thoroughly."
"Making the design of Forms AI more flexible and accommodating to companies' branding preferences would be beneficial."
"There is still room for enhancement in capturing line items from invoices."
"The extraction and classification process should be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"Our clients are concerned about the volume-based pricing model, as UiPath charges more than other vendors in the market."
"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."
"UiPath Document Understanding compared to the competitors is high."
"It is expensive. The license cost for UiPath Studio has risen to around 3.5 lakhs last year, and I am uncertain how much the increase will be this year. They have also increased the bot prices."
"I used the community version, so there was no fee."
"I find the pricing to be somewhat on the higher side."
"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."
"UiPath's pricing model is complex and based on AI units, which are consumed during model training and use."
