Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to extract content from documents. It is able to identify specific fields and special characters.""ABBYY Vantage has been designed as a user-friendly solution, making the setup process require only a couple of days.""The most valuable features have been the rate of recognition and the structured documents.""The advantage for ABBYY Vantage is in the visual tools to parameterize and set documents.""We like the fact that this solution is enterprise-ready, so it can be deployed on-premises, scale it, etc.""Its ease of use is valuable. It is easy to use and configure.""The whole idea of designing your own templates is pretty much the bread and butter of the product, but that's really the best part because you can design flexible templates.""ABBYY Vantage has reduced our data because it can classify and extract information from documents."

More ABBYY Vantage Pros →

"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them.""The most valuable feature is the robotic process.""The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services.""The solution is scalable.""The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks.""You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it.""It is stable and scalable.""Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."

Cons
"Programming interfaces should include intelligence or documentation.""The integration with UiPath is not good. I would like to see more documentation and guides to help gain more in-depth knowledge of how to use ABBYY FlexiCapture.""The modelling, classification and handwritten information are not great.""The solution needs more web or cloud-based development.""Machine learning needs to be improved.""They should improve the RESTful API side of this solution. Currently, fully RESTful API is not available in the on-prem version, which is really a problem, and we have to work around this limitation. The cloud version already has a fully RESTful API, but the on-prem version doesn't have a fully RESTful API, which is a big mistake. It is easy to solve, but they aren't solving it quicker. They are taking a long time. Nowadays, most people don't go to the interface. They like to use RESTful API.""There are certain controls like radio buttons and checkboxes that when reading PDFs, really doesn't go well with the RPA.""It's important to incorporate image detection for signatures or other handwriting elements."

More ABBYY Vantage Cons →

"Its documentation is not widely available on the web. They should work on the availability of its documentation. In Automation Anywhere, there is a feature called Discovery Bot that automatically records the process steps and suggests a possible bot. I am not sure if such a feature is available in Kofax. If it is not available, it will be very good to have this feature. ""Exception handling needs to be improved.""The solution needs to be scalable.""Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly.""There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product.""The process discovery could be a bit better.""I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support.""Kofax RPA needs to improve integration with SAP and Microsoft. The professional services offered by the tool's team is below par. Its licensing needs to be more modular."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "For us, the price is reasonable."
  • "We did not go with the licensed version of this solution."
  • "The price of this ABBYY FlexiCapture is a bit expensive and the price is based on how many documents have been captured. For example, one or two million captures."
  • "Its price is a little bit high and can be lower. Its licensing is very expensive. I don't remember exactly, but for each page, it is about four or seven cents, which is too expensive."
  • "Most of our customers have purchased an annual license and if you have multiple developers from other companies, you can assign the license on a monthly basis to developers."
  • "It is expensive as compared to UiPath. We pay for the licensing and the page count."
  • "It is more on the reasonable side as compared to the competition that I am aware of. I'm not an expert on pricing schemes for all sorts of things, but when we offer them a solution, we like to say we're agnostic. So, we offer more than one solution when possible. Amongst the ones that we've offered, ABBYY usually is the more reasonable solution on a big scale. On a small scale, they're all pretty similar. As far as I understand, you pay a license for a number of pages, and that's pretty much it. It has just the rate per page, and it decreases as you scale."
  • "Its price should be a little lower. It is a lot higher than the competition, and if they just break the gap a little, then more people might jump onto their product. Their price is definitely a deterrent in the few cases that I remember. They have monthly and yearly options, and if you want, they also have per project and per page options. They do charge extra for different types of installation. They have the standalone, which is pretty straightforward and a lot cheaper than the server installation. Server installation gives you a lot more, and it gives you control over the environment."
  • More ABBYY Vantage Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The normal price for an on-premises license is €50,000. That's the price for one robot license. You can have more than one robot license but only one can be run at any one time. I believe the cost of adding a second robot is around €14,000."
  • "Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
  • "I don't have complete insight at this point in time, but I would guess that Kofax is a lot less expensive than Automation Anywhere. I would expect its license to be on a yearly basis."
  • "Its pricing is reasonable given the product capabilities. Kofax has a wide range of products, and it can sometimes be confusing to understand which capabilities come with which product set. One of the key facets that we've been looking into recently is cognitive document recognition that was a core pile of some of their other technologies such as Kofax transformation modules (KTM)."
  • "Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
  • "There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
  • "Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
  • "I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
