Find out what your peers are saying about ABBYY, Automation Anywhere, UiPath and others in Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)."We have found the solution to be stable so far."
"The solution responds well to automatic document classifications with a 90% success rate."
"We like the fact that this solution is enterprise-ready, so it can be deployed on-premises, scale it, etc."
"The machine learning capability is pretty good."
"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."
"The initial setup is not difficult. The vendor provides technical documents to assist with deployment."
"Allows us to run through documents and extract information."
"The most valuable feature of ABBYY FlexiCapture is the accuracy of the general extractions."
"Lexicons where the key vocabulary can be inputted it is very helpful."
"There are many options and customizations that you can make to each individual extractor that allows you to tweak it for exactly what you need."
"Grooper processes difficult sorts of data and unstructured or semi-structured content very well. It's probably one of the better solutions I've seen compared to other solutions I've seen out there. It does a lot more things like segmentation extraction. It does it a lot better. Grooper has more focus on these types of freeform documents where other solutions are very generic and this is a little more elaborate in what they've done. I think they take it to the next level of extracting freeform data."
"The user interface is easy to use, and the flexibility is noteworthy."
"In IRISXtract, we can have master data, and we can set the master data. There are more options for taking any data and comparing it with master data. For a project, they have a dump from SAP for validation. This feature is there in ABBYY, but it is not extensive like IRISXtract. ABBYY is capturing the data, but there are not a lot of options to validate the captured data. It would be helpful if there are more options for validating the captured data in ABBYY FlexiCapture."
"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."
"Quite complex, particularly for those who are not tech savvy."
"It's important to incorporate image detection for signatures or other handwriting elements."
"I think that technical support should help instead of developing a solution from scratch every time you reach out to them."
"The generic models have a lot of areas to improve. In our experience, we are not able to get good results in the generic models. From a developer's point of view, there could be more improvement if the source code is available on a broader scope"
"The product must provide more supporting documentation on the API capabilities of Advanced Designer."
"This solution should have better integration with RPA solutions such as Blue Prism."
"Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals."
"If Grooper could "sense" important fields on the document and auto-build extractors for them, that'd be really cool."
"Grooper is new. It's new beta stuff, so we've had some issues, but that's understandable. Getting the beta product to more of a true release is where it needs improvement. I'm going through training now, so it's hard to judge what they have and don't have until I get through that training. Training is the main thing for me because I'm trying to learn and take things I've learned from other products and try to transfer that knowledge to this one."
"They should have more sub-extractors or exclusion extractors so that the user does not have to make a parent data type."
