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."
"The product is really good, and it is easy to use. It comes with multiple integrations. The solution keeps up with the trend of Microsoft Copilot and AI."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"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."
"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document."
"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."
"The machine learning (ML) extractor is valuable. It helps in extracting information from even unstructured documents. It can sometimes also extract information from a written document. Without much manual intervention, it is able to process the documents. This is a unique feature of UiPath Document Understanding."
"Invoice processing is the most valuable feature. Most of my customers use Document Understanding for invoice processing. That's one of the most common use cases. Typically, each customer starts their RPA journey with the finance department because that's the area where you can see the most benefit."
"It has advanced capabilities compared to other competitors, whether Blue Prism or Automation Anywhere."
"The most valuable feature is key-value pair and table extraction."
"The quality of the input documents is crucial because sometimes healthcare providers prefer automated processing rather than human review."
"In UiPath Document Understanding, I use two extractors. One is the Intelligent Form Extractor and the other is the Machine Learning Extractor. The first one is very useful and user-friendly. When we have a single template or two to three templates, Intelligent Form Extractor is much easier to use. But if we have multiple templates, it's better to go with ML Extractor as you can train the model with different templates."
"The entity-level extraction is very good. The workflow is also very good."
"UiPath Document Understanding offers multiple types of extractors, which we can use to extract information from documents in a variety of ways."
 

Cons

"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."
"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."
"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."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"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."
"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
"There is still room for enhancement in capturing line items from invoices."
"It would be ideal if they could include more packages for more use cases."
"There could be a feature similar to ChatGPT where when you ask about a document, you get an answer about what is there in that document. If possible, this kind of feature can be incorporated so that you do not need to open a file and take the value. It should directly detect that instead of opening and validating the document. Such a feature will speed up the process."
"The extraction can be better. ABBYY FlexiCapture has more capabilities than Document Understanding. It can also extract automatically without training, whereas with Document Understanding, we need to train everything."
"The solution must localize the built-in features for supporting Arabic scripts so we do not rely on third-party tools."
"UiPath Document Understanding requires more database connectors."
"Making the design of Forms AI more flexible and accommodating to companies' branding preferences would be beneficial."
"The documentation should be more clear, or better training should be provided."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"We received a 60-day free trial before having to purchase a license to continue using UiPath Document Understanding."
"UiPath Document Understanding compared to the competitors is high."
"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 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."
"I find the pricing to be somewhat on the higher side."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate UiPath Document Understanding an eight on cost."
"UiPath has a higher upfront cost, but its Document Understanding feature is not a significant additional expense compared to the overall platform."
"The cost per license is significant, approaching ten thousand dollars."
