Ephesoft Transact has a great balance of simple and advanced ways to Automate the processing of digital and scanned documents.
The company is innovative and regularly updates their products. They have great support and a great set of support partners like Zia Consulting.
Some of the tools are available out of the box, like Machine Learning, Key/value extraction and document classification learning on a very small amount of templates. For more advanced users or processes scripts and modules can be developed to further expand Transact's features. Scripts and modules are written in java, the scripts are compiled on the fly and can be edited through the UI if needed.
The machine learning allows our operators to easily help train documents for classification and extraction. During the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, were were well positioned to adjust to remote working, and still assist other internal departments transition their processes to be remote friendly.

Sometimes there are web UI inconsistency's, but the product is constantly improving. The Installer could use some help, but I've seen way worse! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What really impressed me about the product is it's no-nonsense packaging or licensing.
All modules / features of the product are available as part of the basic license itself and there's no hidden surprises which Ephesoft / partner will bring your way once you have made the initial investment.
Secondly since its a subscription based model, the customer has the liberty of starting small and then scaling the license up based on requirements / product success which makes the buying decision so much more faster.
The ease with which a 3rd party integration can be accomplished really makes the implementation so much more peaceful. There's no nightmares when it comes to getting the product to fit into your current software infra. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing really, the product is growing and really looking forward to upcoming releases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ephesoft is a great Capture software that provides a deep list of functionality; Simplicity is key value. The detailed configuration ability provides a many ways to approach various Document Capture solutions.
The different classification and extraction functions provide an extended list of configurations that really help in providing a complete and comprehensive solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't much really, Maybe an interface lift would be helpful also more guides will help. Other than the interface I believe adding a configuration assessment tool might be helpful while building solutions, in other words, incorporate best practices in the software.

Ephesoft is easy to learn and understand. As it is a completely web-based user interface, Ephesoft is also easily accessible and configurable. The functionality of the various modules and the support for multiple OCR engines is a huge advantage as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UI could be updated to look a little more modern but this is more of a nitpick rather than an actual complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The speed of how documents get processed, and the excellent support from their Sales and Support Team. A lot of time is being trimmed when compared to the manual process of getting data from the PDFs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Certain things such as building the configuration from scratch takes a while to get used to. However, Ephesoft offers a lot of tips and are always willing to help and guide us along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ephesoft is very useful and helpful in data extraction. It provides most of the accurate data ad less use manual intervention. Ephesoft is not complicated, easy to learn and and it have wide information to learn. It has the customization benefit so that user can add additional things in the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In my prospective, I did not find any negative point for Ephesoft as i have worked on this transact for 2 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The option of deployment - Cloud or on Premise - while maintaining the same level of functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ephesoft architecture allows for a great deal of flexibility when designing capture solutions. This breadth of options can sometimes create their own problems of choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The customization. Being able to customize Ephesoft the way we need it to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
UI speed is sometimes an issue when dealing with large batch classes. Also, BI's that error out could be re-attempted automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The use of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) so that we don't have to have "forms" processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are times that the system doesn't pick up the correct information and doesn't "learn" from certain invoices so the errors are consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use and implementation has been what I've liked best about Ephesoft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Performance can be sluggish at times depending on the number of users accessing the system and whether or not there is a separate user interface server available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The system can be learned by IT folks pretty easily to allow people to self-manage their installation and continue to grow the training set. There is a high level of complexity that can be unlocked the more you learn about the system and if you have access to Java programming resources. Intelligently thought through workflow enables the human exception handlers to be efficient. The system performs really well out of the box with simple documents with low variability (think invoices, purchase orders, etc.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The system is slow, especially compared to some simplified online classification & extraction systems. There are a lot of "features" that Ephesoft's own professional services/support will tell you not to use. To properly optimize the solution takes a lot of hard earned knowledge. The updating process can be cumbersome. The system performs very poorly out of the box for highly complex documents (think legal contracts & bank statements) and complicated extractions.

Ephesoft's Smart Capture platform aids in process automation by eliminating manual intervention in document centric workflows.
Document capture processing time is typically reduced by close to 70% and labor costs reduces to 30%-50%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cons."Editing,updating and setting up changes is bit difficult" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Transact system is flexible for us to process invoices from 2000+ suppliers with speed and accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has taken some time to learn Regedit but we are hopeful that future products will enable us to train less and have it learn more on its own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful features are OCR/ICR and the document ingestion points. It makes it very easy to get documents in to the system and with the recent enhancements allows for greater document processing efficiencies per department/document specific. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not that its the least useful but it can be tricky to use the Fuzzy DB search function. Sometimes you have to search multiple times before finding the correct vendor, etc. This could be improved upon in later iterations of Ephesoft software releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

People who need to extract data, they can go for Ephesoft transact, by using this product we can extract structured and unstructured data from pages, by using column headers and Regex we can extract the data from any kind of line item table and we can verify the extracted data by using line item matching table. Like this we have so many amazing things we have in Ephesoft Transact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Still now I didn't face any critical problem to dislike this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to split documents and gather metadata. The user Gui is better than other products I have seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That there is no way for a validator or business manager to flag a document for administrator review. IF documents need to be added to the sample set the business takes screenshots, then we have to find the doc, import the doc, then add to sample set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ephesoft is the open source software where customer can write a custom script and same can be integrated with Ephesoft which allows user to try new features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
