Kissflow vs. UiPath Document Understanding

KiSSFLOW is well suited for any information heavy paperwork that multiple people approve and have access to complete work. It is less suited for processes that require a lot of back and forth with a form initiator. The workflows like to be very linear without much back tracking. It can do that but it prefers to be forward linear.

UiPath Document Understanding excels in scenarios where invoices follow a standardized format or template. Its ability to accurately extract data from consistent layouts ensures reliable automation for invoices with predictable structures.When dealing with a large volume of invoices, Document Understanding's automation capabilities shine. It streamlines the extraction process, allowing organizations to efficiently process a high number of invoices with reduced manual intervention.Document Understanding is particularly suitable for organizations that utilize SAP or other Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Its seamless integration capabilities facilitate the automatic transfer of accurately extracted invoice data into these systems.In scenarios where invoices have a combination of structured and semi-structured elements, Document Understanding performs well. It can intelligently handle varying layouts, making it suitable for invoices with standardized sections and flexible content placement.Similar to invoices, Document Understanding can be effectively used for extracting data from receipts. Whether it's capturing transaction details, merchant information, or purchase amounts, the tool's template-based extraction is advantageous.Document Understanding can be employed for automating the extraction of data from various HR documents, including resumes, employee onboarding forms, and timesheets. This facilitates efficient HR document management.

• I appreciate the automatic email notifications when it is your turn to complete a task. This keeps everyone on track.
• I appreciate being able to "reassign" a task as well--leaving flexibility for some folks to cover for others when needed.
• I appreciate the personal check-ins from our rep, asking how things are going. That makes me feel like someone is paying attention and wants me to be happy with the product.

Incentivized

• Easy to integrate into larger automation flows
• Production-ready; built-in logging, exception handling and retry mechanisms
• Common architecture for both Attended and Unattended (+ Action Center) implementations
• Meant to make development, deployment, debugging and scaling much easier.

• Learning. If you are coming from a 100% paper process and have employees who know nothing more, then there is definitely a learning curve. You will need to bring someone in to help you train employees on the core concept of the change (the "Why are we doing this" questions). KiSSFLOW does have support, but this is more getting down to the details in your own work environment.
• Visual learners will love it, but not non-visual. If you are an accountant, and your brain works like an accountant, then this program will be difficult to learn. It is very visual, and I have seen more success with visual learners than any others.
• Bugs. A few years ago, there were a lot of bugs. There are not that many anymore. This is to be expected with any program, so if you are training an impatient staff who doesn't do well with error messages, you will want to be sure to pad the training sessions. I have not seen error messages in a long time; however, the nature of the beast is that you won't see one until you actually find one...

• data extraction phase could be a bit easier.
• create a output variable to store classification result for accuracy(ie, eg: 80% )

Really love the product. Was pleasantly surprised that it has been easy to use for parents

The system has room to grow as it's limited by not being able to edit POs after they've been approved. The system is great for registrations and syncing to other systems while including the attachments. The reporting from Kissflow is also easy to setup to link to other platforms such as Looker

I haven't encountered a need for support with KiSSFLOW. It's not a perfect platform, but it's functional, dependable, and reasonably intuitive. I can't fault a support team just because their product works!

KiSSFLOW wants you to be able to increase productivity, make it possible to "manage the chaos" (their own words) and simply make things better. It is exactly what it sounds like. For a visual learner, KiSSFLOW is perfect. It really does make good on its promise to help you manage the chaos, and it makes it easy for your employees to understand how your business works. More specifically, I recommended this program for a small school that had never automated anything. They knew nothing about the process. Bringing in KiSSFLOW allowed them to not only refine their process, but it gave awareness to other employees and ensure that they could work as a team, knowing the intricacies of how each department works (so, the Director would understand the many steps of Admissions before taking over after enrollment -- they would know what each family experienced).

UiPath document understanding makes my work easier. My business requirement was to identify invoice page numbers from a PDF containing more than 2 pages. And DU makes my work easier. Especially if there are thousands of documents, DU works better for that.

• Somewhat expensive compared to other cheap (or free) task management alternatives. ROI depends on your specific needs and the size of your organization.
• ROI can be ambiguous since KiSSFLOW is primarily for internal company use. A simple email thread could accomplish many of the same things, but with less efficiency.

Incentivized

• More accurate results
• Saved almost 2-3 Hours of Manual work on daily basis
• High volume of Document processing
