Avis clients sur Docparser

I like being able to have multiple document templates as each vendor tends to have their own "take" on what is useful to include in an invoice or order and formatting can vary a great deal.

Therefore, my templates are not based on vendor name - they are based on the data found in the invoices. Example file names: "line-qty-units-isbn13-desc-discount-level-ext-dollar" or "line-qty-desc-unit-ext-float"

Vendors aren't always consistent from invoice to invoice. They may be using software that resizes table columns to fit the text, which means you have to adjust your table format slightly each time to ensure the parsing is correct. That's easy to do.

The forums and Q&A resources are usually helpful and I've found them responsive to email.

1. The UI for making changes to the template. I hate the popup box routine at the end of making a change. It takes a lot of mouse clicks.

2. I've never gotten the subtemplates to work. (see note above about vendor formats being inconsistent.) Subtemplates "supposedly" take care of minor variations and can be grouped according to a vendor name. Maybe this works for other customers, as it is a great idea.

3. There are a lot of little tweaks to be made that aren't obvious to improve character recognition. Why not start with the highest level of quality (ie. turn on OCR) at the start? If that makes file size a problem for storage or performance when processing a lot of files at once, walk people through how to "downgrade" to an acceptable level or establish a recommended number of files not to exceed some size limit. For example, during a trial scan there were no extra spaces or funky characters in the document but then I figured out about half of the "6s" had been transformed to "8s" - not terribly helpful. I want to be able to trust the result rather than having to proof hundreds of line items.

4. Given the inconsistencies I have with the input data sources, I don't think I'll be able to automate the parsing tasks - such as grabbing attachments from email automatically. Again, I have a small business, so I'm OK with the workaround.

Ease of use. Setup fast. No special training needed.
Quinn from Docparser is always available to answer questions

Its pricing. It would be good if there is a pay as you use option instead of a tier with 200 credits where we don't use them all at times

DocParser's approach to creating parsing rules has been the BEST fit for what i use it for. Delve fully and explore all the available methods and you'll find a way to extract the data you want.

Sometimes line by line changes take an extra second to save and the pages take an extra second to load, adding to the overall time it takes to set something up. I'm sure speed will improve over time, the product makes up for this shorterm annoyance.

Variety of tools for post processing documents. One can slice & dice the data gazillion different ways.

Preprocessing documents, especially OCR, may not be Docparser's strongest suite. Having regex capability during preprocessing can also solve many business needs.

Saves us hundreds of hours of labour per year

Not much to dislike - the software works well.

Rule creation is easy. Rules are robust. Software is very intuitive. Connected app opportunities are plentiful.

Haven't found any Cons yet. Anything I've taken issue with has been addressed quickly by the support team.

It allows me to automatically pull needed content from pdf contracts that are emailed to me as a sales rep, and let's me input that into my crm

It has a lot of options and possibilities, so it's not exactly straight forward, but it is easy enough to figure out

Docparser has alot of rule options which makes it very easy to create robust rules so you are sure you get the correct data extracted even if the documents are not exactly the same.

There are also alot of integration options. I use webhooks and it works perfect and is easy to use. I integrate to integromat with the webhook.

The pricing is a little bit too high for small business in my opinion. I cannot really find anything else :-)

A had several thousand complicated PDF files that I needed to extract data from, and Docparser ended up being the perfect tool. I greatly appreciate the clean and modern design aesthetic and the dead simple usability and intuitiveness of the tools. In stark contrast to many of the other services out there (and I've dabbled with several), the learning curve here is very minimal. Don't let the simplicity and ease of use fool you though--there is also depth to the tool that easily handled all of my parsing needs.

I was also impressed with the customer service, which I have used several times as questions have popped up.

The customer service email responses weren't always fast, but they were always helpful and thoughtful.

Easy to use and saves so much time. No more manual data entry into ERP systems, Simply drag and drop PDF supplier invoices into Docparser and it converts it our our ERP required CSV format! simple.

Would be great if there was an ability to upload certain rules in bulk such as search and replace text as opposed to having to set up one rule at a time.

It's relatively quick to set up parsing jobs with a minimum of technical ability. I'm always looking for low-code ways to automate workflows. There isn't another solution out there that is really comparable as far as I know.

It's not meant for high production short term jobs, their pricing is set up more for a steady volume, and the credits purchased each month don't roll over. But for creating multiple, recurring, steady volume jobs it's extremely well worth it.

DocParser is a great tool to save time, reduce human data entry mistakes and automate low-value tasks for a Company. It's really user-friendly interface and the default rules and filters are very well designed. They allow you, basically, do whoever you want to extract data from your documents. We use specifically for invoice data capturing (AP) and it's working perfectly and very fast. Very recommended online app to make your life easier processing tons of documents automatically instead spend a lot of time with manual tasks!
Also, it's important to highlight the extremely quick and problem-solving Customer Support team led by Chris. Kudos for them!

I miss some 'nice-to-have' functionalities at this moment (22/04/2020) such as:

- There is not any confirmation question when you upload documents to be parser and it can make you consume credits by mistake.
- There isn't a feature to change massively, in example, a list of keywords you want to apply in a specific parsing rule.
- There isn't support for Spanish language auto-detection so far.
- I know that DocParser isn't a spreadsheet but, some basic operations (sum, product, percentage) would help a lot for several purposes, especially if you are parsing invoices' data.

- Easy-of-use setting up parsing rules
- high accuracy, even on scanned documents
- integration options

- Only one user per account (multi-user would be great for bigger orgs / teams)
- Integration settings are done per parser, would be great in our case to have a global setting

It's stable and there is no other like it in the market.

Nothing, it[s just great. So far so good!

The interface and functions are easy to navigate and it is flexible enough to take data provided by a business partner in PDF form and convert it for easy import into our CRM with a Zapier Zap. This previously took hours every week of manually data entry. Now the process is completely automated.

The regular expression search and replace doesn't work exactly as I would expect. I had to create multiple regex search and replace filters that should be possible in one. It could be a misunderstanding on my part.

This is pretty easy to use and makes processing documents easy. The features are robust and the possibilities are endless. It does take some experimenting to get the forms to parse correctly but the website makes it easy to see your results when testing your data filters

The cost seems a bit high for how we are using it but the value of what it does is there. We don't use it to its fullest potential.

Docparser does exactly what is says it does. Smooth interface, plenty of options to turn a flat doc into usable data. We love that this can automate what would be such a manual process.

This is not necessarily a con but it would be great to have the option to drop documents based on attachment size (for example, if the document was 1kb - empty data doc), don't process it. It would be also handy to have the ability to handle duplicate documents. I.e. don't process if document has already been sent.

Easy to use UI tool to write parsers. It takes very less time for me to write a new parser and integrate with the system

- lack of version control for a parser.
- lack of support for password protected documents. Now it only supports for a static password that can be configured in docparser.
