Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The handwriting recognition is very good, as it can recognize handwriting done with pen and paper with at least 70% accuracy.""It's easy to use.""The initial setup is not difficult. The vendor provides technical documents to assist with deployment.""The ability to extract and insert data, then structuralize it into the actionable format, would be the most valuable.""Identifies and extract relevant elements from a document.""The most valuable feature of ABBYY Vantage is flexibility. You are able to edit at a granular level providing good control over the process. Additionally, the brochures and guides were helpful in learning the solution.""I like that it has the capability of processing a high volume of documents with great accuracy.""It saves us a lot of manual work."

More ABBYY Vantage Pros →

"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions.""The solution has been very user-friendly.""The solution is easy to use and easy to apply.""Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI.""The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed.""The solution is very manageable.""Productivity increased far more than thirty percent.""One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."

More BotFarm Pros →

Cons
"The system does not always train itself to recognize data properly.""It would be good if the product provided an AI-based prebuilt model that predicts and gives output.""They can have more advanced workflows. They can have some custom status in their workflow. It was there, but they can introduce more cases such as triggering an email or interacting with other systems with APIs. They can be included as stages in their workflow rather than doing it all by scripting.""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.""Initially, it was good, but now, in terms of ease of implementation and accuracy, there are better competitors in the market. What we are seeing in some of the other tools isn't there in ABBYY. They have to improve it to include such features. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to compete in the market.""Occasionally, we found the Machine Learning feature to be not working as per our expectations. Sometimes, it also failed to extract details from a PDF. It would be great if training batches work with 100% accuracy. I don't see any other major concerns with ABBYY FlexiCapture.""We would like the workflow building within this solution to be more transparent, which would allow us to model the process.""Quite complex, particularly for those who are not tech savvy."

More ABBYY Vantage Cons →

"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation.""Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved.""The deployment could be simplified.""The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false.""The user experience could be made a little better with this solution. I find it difficult to find qualified people to be able to use the solution.""The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment. The whole world is moving to the DevOps model, but BotFarm is still not on the DevOps model. It should have integration with the DevOps model. The migration of the bots or bots pipeline is currently purely manual.""The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis.""The deployment could be made a little bit easier."

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 →

  • "Pricing for this solution can be better."
  • "Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
  • "The pricing model could be simplified."
  • "I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
  • "An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
  • "We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
  • "Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
  • "It is too expensive and not worth the price."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Akshay P., Associate Systems Analyst at NSEiT Limited, relates, “It is very easy, simple. You're working on a notepad, and you don't need to know programming to work on this. The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions.”

    A Digital Strategy Manager at an energy/utilities company shares, “The scalability is the solution's most valuable aspect. The reason Bot Farm is used is to have only one license available whenever you have a spike in the transactions. That is a core feature. That is something which we are using to the maximum. It's working well due to the fact that the solution use case is quite structured.”

    A Senior RPA Developer at a tech services company tells us, “The solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis. For example, the organization may need to be generating invoices or extracting data from PDF files daily. It is very versatile in what you can automate. This has improved my organization by cutting down on repetitive tasks that now can be automated.”
