The summary above is based on 94 interviews we conducted recently with ABBYY Vantage and UiPath Document Understanding users. To access the review's full transcripts, download our report.
"The most valuable feature of ABBYY FlexiCapture is the ability to create your own template on the fly. You can train and classify, you can work with those different templates without the need to do special programming for it or with minimum programming. Additionally, the solution is supporting the Arabic OCR, both of these combined features are the most important for us in the Egyptian market."
"The solution's AI technology is genius."
"The UI is user-friendly and ABBYY Vantage supports over 100 languages."
"The solution's technical support is very supportive."
"The initial setup is not difficult. The vendor provides technical documents to assist with deployment."
"Its OCR Engine is very successful, and it is the leading OCR Engine. It also has NLP support."
"We are able to extract details from a PDF and put them into a CSV. It is able to extract the details that we are looking for. We have the Machine Learning feature to extract the data with respect to the position of the field."
"Allows us to run through documents and extract information."
"I like UiPath's machine-learning capabilities. My first impressions were good, but we only use it in a few processes. We intend to expand our use of these features in other situations, but we're still learning how to use the AI functions. We use the OCR much more."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of UiPath Document Understanding."
"The solution removes manual processes and reduces human dependency. It takes a lot of effort to go through each physical mail or email, extract the data and transfer it to Excel. However, the solution automates the process and works 24/7. The tool gives a complete package to process and understand documents. The valuable features include taxonomy modification, classification, workstation, etc. There are out-of-the-box features like ML models which you can custom build. We have saved time with UiPath Document Understanding. We have seen a 50 percent improvement in scanning processes. Compared to humans, the tool runs 24/7. The human error rate has also been reduced. Our human error rate is five percent now compared to the previous 15 percent. UiPath Document Understanding has also freed up our staff who now spend more time on critical tasks."
"The quality of the input documents is crucial because sometimes healthcare providers prefer automated processing rather than human review."
"The validation process is easy. The Validation Station shows you the extracted data on one side and the document on the other, so you can easily scroll down and check if the data is accurate. You just need to click a checkbox. If you don't think it is fine, you have the option to add an exception. Based on that exception, you can create multiple conditions for how to address the same issue if it happens again."
"The entity-level extraction is very good. The workflow is also very good."
"It shortens the time of extracting data by 70 to 80%."
"AI Center is helpful for creating data sets. Machine learning helps with some extraction. The ML extractor gives good results after training."
"One major area that requires improvement in ABBYY Vantage is its current JSON output format."
"ABBYY FlexiCapture could improve in the maintenance, and there are some issues. You have to make efforts to do corrections. Additionally, it could be more user-friendly in terms of connecting between different solutions."
"They say that they have invoice training or document training where if you put in a certain number of documents of the same type and you fix it once, twice, or a few times, it'll automatically be able to read the same document perfectly without you having to create a layout for it to follow. That has never worked properly for any project, so I just stopped recommending it completely. We spent time trying to test and getting a bunch of invoices to test it with, and in the end, it just didn't do what it needed to. If they fix that or if they can improve on that, that would be great. It will save a lot of time for a lot of people, and it will allow people with less experience with ABBYY to be able to use it."
"ABBYY Vantage is mainly available on the public cloud but for clients that use a private cloud, it is complicated to set up the solution."
"ABBYY FlexiCapture could improve the performance. We are looking for better performance because it can be a lengthy capture process and the accuracy needs to be enhanced when it comes to Arabic."
"The initial setup was relatively complex. The people who install it must be knowledgeable about what they are doing."
"This solution should have better integration with RPA solutions such as Blue Prism."
"The product must provide more supporting documentation on the API capabilities of Advanced Designer."
"UiPath Document Understanding could be more user-friendly."
"They could work on the digitizing and classification of documents."
"The machine learning model needs improvement, as we receive more and more unstructured documents from clients that require a lot of manual validation."
"This is an expensive solution."
"There is room for improvement in handwriting processes."
"The results of classifying patient documents within UiPath Document Understanding need to be more accurate."
"I encountered difficulties with UiPath Document Understanding in determining the appropriate OCR to use for certain files."
"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."
