ABBYY FineReader vs KwikTag

Likelihood to Recommend

[ABBYY FineReader is well suited] to edit advanced documents that contain text, images, tables, columns among others, I used it when I have a large text file and they ask me to go in editable file type like docx, Another common use is when in documents there is personal or sensitive information that should not be public knowledge and you want to cure or erase this information without prejudice to the understanding of the background of the document.

Works fine for accounting but we've found workflow capabilities are limited for those who aren't using our accounting system. License seats need to be concurrent instead of user specific.

Cons

A versioning system of the work done or the editions that have been saved in the files, or a tracking of changes between one version and another would be fabulous
An improvement that would be asked would be as previews or suggestions of the type of file that could be beneficial to use in an edition
The redesign of the panels is that of the analyzed document, the edition and the changes in my opinion need a resizing to have a better view of the work

It would be nice if we could automatically email invoices from KwikTag to responsible parties for approval.
Need to provide a web interface that doesn't use up a license seat so other members than KwikTag users can view documents that go with what's been charged to their budget.

Alternatives Considered

Although both have functionalities that they share, in ABBYY FineReader they are better implemented, they have a better performance, in addition to being a more intuitive and simple user that makes their learning curve relatively simple, it is as if the options I need are always available. the hand and not within complicated menus or overloaded interfaces

We use Laserfiche for our legal and membership services departments. Laserfiche is a full blown workflow and document management system that runs on our own SQL server. Therefore we have much more control of how it's set up and we can customize it more easily.

KwikTag has taken a large burden off our AP staff.
Documents are readily available for retrieval without having to scan through directories full of files or boxes of paper.
Would like to see the ability for others to at least search and view documents.
