Docparser

Avantages

Ability to create flexible rules and multiple models

Inconvénients

Mostly good, some improvement for easier testing may be required.

Avantages

Great customer support
Excellent integration with systems and operational processes in general
Works perfectly for simpler cases and at 80% success rate for very compelx cases like mine.

Avantages

It really helps when it comes to entering big amounts of information for a document.

Inconvénients

In some documents, it does not work really well, and sometimes create a new template is a bit annoying. but once you have its really helpful

Avantages

The software is so easy and intuitive. I was parsing PDF files in no time and exporting data into my database. The price is good too!

Inconvénients

I have not found anything that I do not like about this software. I really like it due to the fact it is easy and intuitive.

Avantages

The product works and is stable. Once you get started using it, it's easy to set up new documents. We scan a number of documents, and with the program we have the opportunity to scale processes that are otherwise manual.

Inconvénients

Nothing.

Avantages

Most things can be automated. However, there are always about 10% of items that fall out of process and have to be executed manually. DocParser has moved us from 90% automation to 100% automation. It gives our team the ability to automate documents that come outside of our normal workflow. We combined the parsing skills of DocParser with ETL tools and are able to automate the upload of forms to our ERP.

Inconvénients

The software is still in it's early stages, so there are a few kinks to work through. However, the team is extremely responsive and helps us overcome any issues we find.

Avantages

I like the flexibility of being to apply rules to standard documents
But also then to bend those rules for the exceptions
Applying parsing rules also helps a lot in organising the data with extraction - and this has saved me countless hours already in the short while using this service

Inconvénients

Initially it feels a bit confusing, mostly due to unfamiliar terms used. But I quickly got the hang of it.

Avantages

Impressive piece of software coupled with superb support.

Inconvénients

Very little. As expected took a bit to learn the scripting but very powerful thereafter.
At a stretch if I had to think of something perhaps conditional statements IF THEN ELSE but I achieved these using other combinations of their scripting methods.

Avantages

We use Docparser to 'grab' order information from big purchase orders and make it easy to copy the data to our system. Setup, with a little help from the support team, was easy.

Inconvénients

Pricey for small users, even though in our case it's worth it

Avantages

Ability to select the areas in a page for extraction. There are few template which could be used without needing to create one.

Inconvénients

Need few videos to demonstrate how we could use the software efficiently. That would help those who are using for the first time.

Avantages

Relatively easy to implement. Very powerful and able to parse most documents. The system is able to do a webhook which means it's not necessary to poll for parsed files although it can do a polled architecture as well.

Inconvénients

Does not implement OAuth 1.0 two factor authentication. We've implemented a fully automated system where customer orders are automatically forwarded to Docparser from our email server. Docparser then parses the pdf and forwards the data in JSON to an outward facing Suitelet in Netsuite. This Suitelet then does a Restful integration using OAuth 1.0 to a Netsuite Restlet. The Suitelet handles the required two factor authentication. The Restlet loads the order to Netsuite.

Avantages

We need to manage thousands of PDF invoices and were typing up the details manually. We found Docparser and it has been a amazing. We created parsing rules that allowed us to take very fragmented data and get it into an orderly format that can be pulled into excel. There are multiple PDF formats and all could be pulled in with Docparser through their flexible tools. We are converting about 3500 invoices per month but expect this to grow significantly in the future. This tool is giving us a simple way to grow our business because it is automating tasks that used to take hours. The best part is our previous process was prone to errors which this eliminates.

In my searching for solutions, I did not find anything else that would do what Docparser does that would be simple, cloud based and affordable.

Inconvénients

It took a bit of time to set up the templates but nothing that seemed out of the ordinary for the fragmented data we were trying to convert.

Avantages

This was designed like I would have designed it except even better. These guys are visionary. We quickly designed a process that saved us 80 hours per month in labor.

Avantages

All of my questions were fairly easy to find in the documentation, and it fit the task that I was trying to accomplish.
When building filters, or integrating data, I hit snags—as is expected—but there are so many different ways to extract the important information (and get it where it needs to go) that has all have been fixed.
It has a very intuitive interface, and it seems to do all the things that I hoped it would do.

Inconvénients

I had a customer service question that got a response, but then the person never got back to me after the initial contact. The problem has apparently gone away, but I wasn't wild about the exchange.

Avantages

In short, this software is smart and ridiculously reliable. We have been using this software to extract the pertinent data from incoming documents, and assembling the data into compartmentalized sections. I have particularly enjoyed its functionality with Google Docs and other Google files.

Inconvénients

I have only encountered a couple of issues that I didn't know how to solve, and their customer service team was prompt to explain what I was misunderstanding. I have no complaints about Docparser.

Avantages

- User-friendly interface.
- Easy to use.
- Does not require much time to understand the process.
- A lot of integration tools.

Inconvénients

- API documentation should have been more example.
- I could not find the way to copy an existing parsing rule into a Layout Model. It would be better to be able to copy and alter an existing one rather than creating from the ground up.

- For a large organisation, it will be quite a lot of parsing rules; it would be nice if I can search or categorise the parsing rules.

Avantages

Docparser is intuitive and incredibly easy to implement. It is reasonably flexible, so changes can be made quickly as needs evolve. Love the immediacy of being able to see the results of a parsing rule.

Inconvénients

It would be useful to be able to reorder parsing rules. You can create new rules between existing rules, so it is easy enough to get what you need, but the ability to reorder rules would save time.

Avantages

I really like the idea of docparsing data from pdf or scanned PDFs I’m exited that I’m aware of such a great program I searched around for a long time.

Inconvénients

A little too expensive but still affordable

Avantages

This is one of the coolest and fun to use tools I've ever seen. I highly recommend it to anyone who has lots of invoices or other documents to parse.

Inconvénients

This software is not ready for big time users. I had 50k+ files to parse, and the constraints around input set size and output set size were too restrictive for me to work effectively. If you are going to be a big time user, I suggest you have a discussion with their support about the various limits. Admittedly, my situation is not their standard use case. But it works beautifully if you fit within their limits.

Avantages

It is really easy to learn how to use it

Inconvénients

It would be useful to have more tutorials to manage edge cases

Avantages

Easy to use interface, and also the OCR works well. You can also dump data into Google Sheets with their native integration. They also have a Free option for low volume users.

Inconvénients

Could use some more documentation of how to type stuff and use case. Would love a tutorial video, as it would help walk me through, although there was a step by step in-app prompt. Could use "Paid Support/Setup" options so I can just farm out the work to their team.

Avantages

The feature that stood out the most for me was their easy-to-use bulk batch data extraction. I could not stand doing them one at a time but with Docparser that is a problem for the past

Inconvénients

I did find it difficult extraction data from certain extensions but overall the data extraction was amazing!

Avantages

It is well organized and intuitive, and it is really fast to find what i am looking for and allows me to save time.

Inconvénients

The colours in the page are limited and i was not be able to find tutorials in differents languages, like spanish.

Avantages

Docparser has some great integrations for connecting to a lot of useful services. At first is struggled with these but now, after some support inquiries, they work like a dream.

Inconvénients

I think Docparser would benefit from some more features in the "variable text" parsing rule.

Avantages

Ability to extract data from documents that was impossible with much more complicated & expensive solutions.

Inconvénients

There is no phone support, which would be nice but its understandable though to keep costs low. Email support has been sufficient
