"Is Good, But It Can Better !"
3.5/5
What do you like best about IBM Datacap?

IBM Datacap is a low-code/no-code (not always) tool for document content capture, and it does what it says. It's easy to use with rule base development tool, which offers a ton of functions to handle OCR/ICR/ AI (with ADP) to extract/identify content from scanned structured and unstructured documents. This product has a lot to offer and good extendability.

1) Easy to use (rule base, drag and drop, can add new actions if needed by development).

2) Lot of functions to handle data/image identification, image enhancements, validation, integration, etc.

3) Ability to identify data patterns and manage errors.

4) Most suitable for enterprise-level projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Datacap?

This product has ancient roots, which in some cases can make things too complex and challenging to manage.

1) Can be hard to set up and learn at first because of less academic support.

2) IBM content navigator client can be more user-friendly.

3) Solution migration and user management (SSO) need improvements.

4) Using fingerprints to identify images (Page) needs improvements.

5) Need a clearer roadmap for this product.

6) Mobile support needs to be updated.

7) Don't over-expect on ICR (but better than most other products).

8) Runtime exception handling/identifying can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Datacap?

The upgrade takes a significant toll on the effort and time needed; if this process becomes easier, it will help a lot in upgrading to newer version efficiently.
