ABBYY Vantage and UiPath are not direct alternatives but complementary solutions that work together. UiPath is praised for its positive ROI and strong automation capabilities, while ABBYY Vantage excels in OCR accuracy, automation workflows, and data extraction. UiPath users appreciate the comprehensive automation features, but desire improvements in UI and performance. ABBYY Vantage users value its efficient customer support, but note areas for enhancement in integration, and OCR accuracy.
The summary above is based on 1023 interviews we conducted recently with UiPath and ABBYY Vantage users. To access the review's full transcripts, download our report.
"Its ease of use is valuable. It is easy to use and configure."
"The solution has its own language that can be configured many ways and with higher accuracy than other products."
"The machine learning capability is pretty good."
"Identifies and extract relevant elements from a document."
"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."
"Verification Station is valuable."
"The OCR is the best on the market."
"It saves us a lot of manual work."
"The UiPath community has been great. There are a lot of great mentorships, a lot of forums, and a lot of people who are very interested in growing the community. It's been very nice to work with them. Anybody who is in UiPath has been an amazing partner for us."
"The user interface is intuitive and easy to understand. This automation increases the ease of operation for the employees."
"It is extremely helpful with our invoicing process."
"I like that UiPath makes life easier through its multiple features. It's easy to use through its Excel functionality, a basic application you need. UiPath also has many connectors available, so using the solution is easier."
"The feature I like the most is ONEWEB UI automation. UiPath's OCR technology also works well. There is another feature called Action Center that lets you decide what happens after the data is captured."
"The AI is also far more advanced than other similar tools, and it is free, which makes it a better product."
"The way they stay on top of Orchestrator is really helpful because that has been the platform that controls everything. The dedication to that is pretty helpful. Every time there's a new release, it seems there are more and more features. It's also not hard to learn."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is user-friendly."
"Quite complex, particularly for those who are not tech savvy."
"The initial setup was relatively complex. The people who install it must be knowledgeable about what they are doing."
"Could be simplified, particularly the UI."
"It's important to incorporate image detection for signatures or other handwriting elements."
"This solution should have better integration with RPA solutions such as Blue Prism."
"I think that technical support should help instead of developing a solution from scratch every time you reach out to them."
"The price for trainings or certifications are on the very, very high side."
"I would like to see a machine learning model to make the solution more intelligent."
"The Citrix automation - the way that it's fragile right now - if that could be made stronger and more stable, that would be icing on the cake for UiPath."
"We would like the RPA app that we developed to fall back to one of our APIs and Visual Studio and have that take off."
"Even with drag-and-drop the product is a little difficult to use unless you are a programmer."
"There should be more clarity around the feedback loop along with the auto-update feature when you deploy machine learning packages. They should give some rule-based options so that if the confidence is returned higher than the previous model trained, then it would auto-deploy. If it is less, then it should send you an email rather than auto-deploy."
"The data extraction has room for improvement."
"While I like the Academy a lot, it could maybe go deeper into some of the topics."
"In the world of NextGen technology, it would be ideal if they could speed up their beta products."
"I would like to see higher end AI type features natively in UiPath. Some native integration over time would help."

Hello dear Nesrin Benhayoun, hope you are doing fine. There are some big differences between them. I will name 2 of them which for me are the most important:
1- FlexiCapture is an independent Platform. This means that you will be able to automate any department demand for documents context (now so called content), no matter this department "is, or is not" provided with UiPath bot (or any other RPA Vendor). You have to think about FlexiCapture spread all over the organization, helping with any document demand.
2- FlexiCapture has has more than 30 years experience, and developed extremely powerful intelligence layers, which since the beginning have been guided by AI and ML, and this will bring the organizations all over the world the ability to contextualize all the read fields, paragraphs, tables, images (personal pictures for instance) inside a document or inside a set of documents.
Uipath is at the beginniing of its journey and also has ABBYY FlexiCapture as one of their strategy for IDP offers.
If you want a real independent and faster IDP solution (no matter the RPA vendor) go for FlexiCapture and let the bots join when they arrive. You don't need for the bots, to start working with this powerful tool that will really scale your automation...anywhere.
I think Omar Madaeen has given the response very crisp and clear! When you use it with a a product along with its built in RPA and AI capabilities like UiPath it will become easy to move the process and address the complete value chain of process.
Dear Nesrin,
UIPath is using ABBYY FlexiCapture in their projects as an integration to the OCR capabilities, and UIPath AI is something different UiPath artificial intelligence (AI) allows you to scientifically discover automation opportunities and enhance your robots with AI Skills. Simply drag and drop these AI Skills into your workflows—and start automating more it has nothing to deal with OCR.
Abbyy Flexi Capture is an OCR solution. UiPath is an RPA platform solution.
Abbyy Flexicapture mainly excels where Optical Character Recognition input is required (eg. Reading a physical bill and digitizing/extracting information from it) and it cannot interact with other computer applications.
UiPath on the other hand can automate the overall processes themselves using excel, word or any other application that runs on a computer just like how a human does but faster and better.
