We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The UI is user-friendly and ABBYY Vantage supports over 100 languages.""It's easy to use.""The ability to extract and insert data, then structuralize it into the actionable format, would be the most valuable.""I like that it has the capability of processing a high volume of documents with great accuracy.""Abbyy is really good in terms of reading OCR.""ABBYY Vantage has reduced our data because it can classify and extract information from documents.""The solution's technical support is very supportive.""The solution's AI technology is genius."

More ABBYY Vantage Pros →

"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy.""Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice.""It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise.""Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment.""Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support.""The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities.""The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need."

Cons
"This solution could be improved by offering better integration with other platforms.""It could be more intuitive. It's huge and has many options, and that makes it difficult. You have to go to Google and search for documents and videos to try and understand how it works. Some tools or processes or some parts of the process should be intuitive to make it easier for the developers.""ABBYY's support model could be improved because we get some complaints from customers regarding the amount of time it takes and the kind of responses we get. They also need to improve their professional services team and train them to support customers better during custom implementations.""ABBYY Vantage's reporting could be improved - they don't have any out-of-the-box or detailed advanced reports.""In the future, I would like to see integration with Google Sheets.""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.""Not a ten because sometimes some documents have handwritten data. If this improved, I would rate it a ten out of ten.""There is an area of improvement. For example, when we read the data from the OCR, the accuracy is not good."

More ABBYY Vantage Cons →

"SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes.""One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing.""I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images.""There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful.""I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor.""For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process.""The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it."

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 →

  • "This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."
  • "The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."
  • "The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."
  • "It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."
