The summary above is based on 94 interviews we conducted recently with ABBYY Vantage and UiPath Document Understanding users. To access the review's full transcripts, download our report.
"I like the flexibility of the layout. For example, for the documents that we're using, this is the main feature that is very useful and makes it flexible for extraction."
"Verification Station is valuable."
"Vantage is flexible and customizable. It's a low-code/no-code tool, so you don't need to get into detailed coding. You can also use AI to accomplish medium-complex tasks."
"The ability to extract and insert data, then structuralize it into the actionable format, would be the most valuable."
"The solution's AI technology is genius."
"ABBYY Vantage is user-friendly...The deployment process can be done in a few minutes."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to capture data from documents with different formats."
"Its OCR Engine is very successful, and it is the leading OCR Engine. It also has NLP support."
"The solution is quite stable, and I am happy with its performance in my programs and processes."
"The best feature is pre-labeling, as it eliminates the need to manually label each data point."
"The validation process is easy. The Validation Station shows you the extracted data on one side and the document on the other, so you can easily scroll down and check if the data is accurate. You just need to click a checkbox. If you don't think it is fine, you have the option to add an exception. Based on that exception, you can create multiple conditions for how to address the same issue if it happens again."
"Invoice processing is the most valuable feature. Most of my customers use Document Understanding for invoice processing. That's one of the most common use cases. Typically, each customer starts their RPA journey with the finance department because that's the area where you can see the most benefit."
"In UiPath Document Understanding, I use two extractors. One is the Intelligent Form Extractor and the other is the Machine Learning Extractor. The first one is very useful and user-friendly. When we have a single template or two to three templates, Intelligent Form Extractor is much easier to use. But if we have multiple templates, it's better to go with ML Extractor as you can train the model with different templates."
"I like the clear and organized way in which UiPath has structured the labeling process, as well as the user-friendly development environment."
"UiPath Document Understanding produces a high accuracy rate of 98 percent."
"The scalability it offers is truly exceptional, making it arguably the best in the market."
"Quite complex, particularly for those who are not tech savvy."
"The system does not always train itself to recognize data properly."
"They should improve the RESTful API side of this solution. Currently, fully RESTful API is not available in the on-prem version, which is really a problem, and we have to work around this limitation. The cloud version already has a fully RESTful API, but the on-prem version doesn't have a fully RESTful API, which is a big mistake. It is easy to solve, but they aren't solving it quicker. They are taking a long time. Nowadays, most people don't go to the interface. They like to use RESTful API."
"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."
"ABBYY Vantage is a product that does not include the Arabic language."
"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 product must provide more supporting documentation on the API capabilities of Advanced Designer."
"I would like to see a machine learning model to make the solution more intelligent."
"UiPath Document Understanding's ability to read handwritten files has room for improvement."
"Document Understanding's handwriting comprehension is improving, but it's still not as good as printed documents. Machine learning models, in general, are becoming mature, but it's still not to a point where I will give it five stars. I may give it a two or three. It is still not advanced enough to identify whatever handwritten content you give to it. It can process handwriting, but you need a human to validate it. With more training, it will become more automated. It will be better by 2025, but it is still not mature enough"
"UiPath Document Understanding's ability to handle diverse document formats, including scans and signatures, needs improvement."
"Existing models have room for improvement."
"UiPath Document Understanding has challenges with handwriting and screenshots."
"At times, the scanning functionality of the tool may fail to generate accurate output, resulting in the need for manual input."
"There is also room for improvement in long-running table extraction. If a table continues for more than 10 pages, in some cases, we have observed that it only extracts six or seven pages and skips the last pages."
"UiPath could improve its analytics and interface."
