Azure AI Document Intelligence vs. Ephesoft Transact vs. Laserfiche

Azure AI Document Intelligence is mainly used in document data filling. If the template is the same, only the inside data content will be different. There, we use a text-based OCR process to fill the data in the same template with different, accurate data means the manual work will be reduced and time saved. And used in an image and text combined bot if the user query through text from the knowledge based document it brings the output which is used in information technology and services.

• Azure AI Document Intelligence should have used to store image based embedding for multiple languages
• Images storing part is a different area in our case and only for a few images that part can be increased
• Cost is high which should be reduced so more users will come and more technology through this will come

• The could have better options for read only users, the minimum option for read only users is 200.

We plan on renewing Laserfiche for the coming year but also have been considering a scanning and document management solution that can be purchased from our new accounting system company, we are implementing the accounting system this year. It will be a couple years before we make a decision to stay with Laserfiche or change.

Azure AI Document Intelligence mainly meets our business requirements. Actually, what we need is image and text-based multimodal, and we store data in pgvector PostgreSQL vector embedding those data. For that, we need text and image combined embedding, which we can get from Azure AI Document Intelligence. Which is working good for us and improved accuracy not 100% but 70% accuracy we are getting at least through Azure AI Document Intelligence.

I am very satisfied with Laserfiche. I have found that certain larger jobs may are slow. This may also be related to our infrastructure environment. We have been able to tune Laserfiche to increase performance on larger jobs.

Performance, of course, is largely dependent on the underlying environment. Laserfiche does its part with multi-threading, taking advantage of multi-core servers on scanning, workflows, and bots. A SQL-Server back-end is suitable for small to medium-sized company, but may not scale to large, where Oracle would be the better choice. Workflows can be poorly written and perform recursive work slowing down the system. It's better to run batch type workflows at night when possible.

Azure AI Search, we used to bring image and text relevant to the user query, but it did not work properly, and the accuracy was very poor compared to Azure AI Document Intelligence. Azure Blob Storage we used to store images and bring in frontend there also accuracy low, so we went for embedding through Azure AI Document Intelligence. Azure AI Content Safety for text content, but it is very costly, so we went for Azure AI Document Intelligence.
