ABBYY Vantage review

ABBYY Vantage ranks fifth because it has the broadest enterprise feature set on this list but no public price. ABBYY describes Vantage as a low-code, no-code platform with pre-trained skills for more than 150 use cases, and the ABBYY Marketplace adds packaged skills for areas such as financial services and transportation documents. It handles structured, semi-structured and unstructured documents, including handwriting, barcodes and check boxes. When you upload a document, Vantage identifies the type and suggests a matching skill, or you can build your own in the Skill Designer. Skills are callable from Microsoft Power Automate, Blue Prism, UiPath and Automation Anywhere, or through the REST API, and they learn from corrections made in human review. ABBYY says its skills reach 90% accuracy at the start, which is a vendor claim worth testing on your own invoices. Expect a sales-led process and a longer setup than self-serve tools.
