We performed a comparison between ABBYY Vantage and UiPath based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its ease of use is valuable. It is easy to use and configure."
"ABBYY Vantage is user-friendly...The deployment process can be done in a few minutes."
"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 has its own language that can be configured many ways and with higher accuracy than other products."
"Its OCR Engine is very successful, and it is the leading OCR Engine. It also has NLP support."
"Abbyy is really good in terms of reading OCR."
"We have found the solution to be stable so far."
"The solution's AI technology is genius."
"I'm from a non-technical background, so for me, it's very easy to just drag and drop the fields using the Studio functionality and place them in my workflow module... The option in Studio of the drag-and-drop functionality makes it very easy to design certain applications."
"The most valuable feature of UiPath is the complete queue system-based framework because it is robust for all clients."
"The AI functionality saves time and reduces the number of errors. It also reduces our costs in terms of human resources. It has reduced our costs by thousands of dollars."
"It has a really good turnaround time for our operations department to start working on claims, because all the information has already been pulled upfront with the bots. Instead of having to go into an account and request medical records or a certain type of document, it's normally already been pulled on the front-end as soon as the account loads because we run everything through the bots."
"Robots take care of tedious and repetitive tasks, where humans concentrate on critical decision making."
"The initial setup is straightforward. There is a lot of guidance in the configuration and actual setup. It feels like installing Windows. It's simple compared to other solutions which tend to be a bit more complex."
"The most valuable feature of UiPath is document understanding. AI is also a valuable feature, as that is the current trend, so it's one of the most essential features of UiPath."
"UiPath's automation features are all equally valuable, but we use the unattended bots the most."
"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"
"This solution could be improved by offering better integration with other platforms."
"This solution should have better integration with RPA solutions such as Blue Prism."
"The price for trainings or certifications are on the very, very high side."
"There is always room for improvement in any product. Some of the configurations for the machine learning models for invoice reading are fairly complicated. There is so much customization that is possible with that sort of thing, so it makes sense that there are a lot of options, but some of the more important ones can be a little better streamlined or more upfront. Currently, machine learning models are a little bit difficult to configure satisfactorily."
"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."
"Since we are using a trial version, we don't have administration access to create a tenant to integrate my OCR series with Postman."
"The recognition intelligence could improve by having more details in the documents. There are limitations with the forms, templates, and manuscripts."
"There are minor bugs. Every major software has bugs. That said, all are solvable, all are resolvable, and it's not a very bad thing."
"In the training, between steps two and three, there is a pretty big leap in terms of how difficult the material is."
"Some of the licenses, such as for Document Understanding, are a little bit expensive, and we hope that they will reduce the prices over time. Apart from this, I don't have anything to improve."
"If a bot is going to save four to six onshore resources, at least one offshore resource is needed to support it... A lot of bots are highly sensitive. Even the slightest change in screen behavior or a small change in the process and, many times, they are not intelligent enough to run on their own. That means there is a high dependence on the support team. Automation software providers need to improve on this."
"It could use an easy integration with SAP. Most of the processes of our company are in SAP. Sometimes it's kind of tricky to automate over it."
"I would like to see more support for the cloud in Australia."
"Most of our PDFs are scanned PDFs and the OCR does not always capture all the information correctly. That's why the document understanding feature will be good for us."
"UiPath has a wide range of features that they have brought into their ecosystem. If I look at something quite specific that we would like to see going forward, that would be the integration between Data Service and Insights. It is great that we are able to visualize our return on investments using Insights. We can see a whole bunch of metrics and how our processes are performing. I think what would give us a lot more power is if we could link that to Data Service and actually pull through some custom information."

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.
