Product Description

Impira is an automated machine learning (AutoML) platform that extracts clean, usable data from files using computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP). Impira is the first platform to offer a solution for business users to train ML models to read documents such as invoices and PDFs and compile key data into spreadsheets and other tools for consumption across various systems and tools.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Unlike other intelligent document processing companies, Impira allows you to build a powerful machine learning algorithm with just a single data point. You can automate data extraction in seconds, not weeks.

What do you like best about Impira?

It has been very helpful in reading information off of PDF factsheets in the clinical field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Impira?

Sometimes the pages are not all similar and so it makes it hard for the AI to read the information correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Impira solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's helping us save SO much time by not having to enter the data on PDF pages and instead the AI being able to read it and put the data into an excel sheet for us to import into our system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Impira?

The UI is pretty intuitive for most folks that have some experience with modern software design. It's also relatively easy to work with Impira through its API as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Impira?

It would be nice to have more sense of the time it takes for reprocessing and whatnot. Also, the docs could use a bit more work to include errors expected, rather than just the functionality pieces; for a lot of automation, using Impira as a 3rd party, there's going to be additional logic that we need to account for downstream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Impira:

Working on a project in Impira means you have to massage the benefits out of it through usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Impira solving and how is that benefiting you?

Document processing as a part of our product. It's easier for us to scale and not have to build out our own scanners/OCR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Megan Dorcey of Impira

Thanks for that honest feedback! I'm happy to hear that the UI is intuitive and that the API is serving you well. Great insight on the "time" element - I'll pass that on to our product folks.

What do you like best about Impira?

Text, Number formats from the scanned files are getting automatically recongnized and got extracted when we manually educate the software by extracting one file.

Impira is very helpful incase of bulk file analysis or information search. There are no limits we can upload n number of files into the single collection and get results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Impira?

When we extract information, occasionally, the texts or numbers are extracted as Symbols. This is maybe an unrecognized font type.

Things gets wild when there are slight changes in position of the texts too. Most of the times the results are partial, when the location of the text alters to few mm, it couldn't pick or picking some other text on the location.

The pdf files are not rotatable, we need to convert or rotate offline and upload it again. Adobe functionalities like Measure, Sign can be implemented with some extensions or plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Impira:

When there are standard format documents you want to extract information on a colossal scale, Impira helps to get it done. For non-similar formats, need to update remaining data or information by manual extraction.

The collections can help in separating the files based on format. Even smart collection can help in allocation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Impira solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being a Mechanical Design Consultant, there were cases like, need to extract a lot of information from mechanical drawings, and this got solved with a few clicks and automation. It reduces little time and effort in manual extraction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Impira?

Our customers need us to extract structured data from a strikingly inconsistent set of documents, and we could not do it without Impira. Meanwhile, they're really attentive to our support needs and receptive to feature requests. Again, there's no alternative to Impira if you're trying to embed document processing in your product. We were trying to make it work with Rossum and paid for a year (and it was horribly expensive) and got nothing in return. We never spent the 100 man hours to annotate 500 documents to train their AI. With Impira, you have a trained AI after annotating a single document. I suppose that's the cherry on top. I'm an engineer, however, and I benefit primarily from how easy it is to embed their service in our system - via API and webhooks, etc. Do yourself a favor and try it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Impira?

Hmm. Life might be easier if... writing IQL was easier? Maybe more documentation. IQL being a proprietary query language we're using to "munge" some inconsistent data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Impira solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're providing document ingestion as a service in our product. Our customers upload documents, we parse them (with Impira on the backend) and then we help our customers reconcile that data with their own financial records, and help them sign and return these documents too.

Unfortunately, it takes a bit of programming to make these things work...can't do anything about that! So nothing at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Impira?

It is easy to configure and train to get your desired OCR outputs. Provides appropriate API webhooks to configure externally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Impira?

The accuracy of the result takes a hit sometimes. Its static hence unable to adjust to slight changes if there are any. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Impira:

Its much feasible to use Impira than training your own ML model to do the same work. It will save you time, resources and effort and the results are pretty accurate as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Impira solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving OCR problems with Impira. Turning images/pdf to digital data. It saves a lot of time and manual effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Megan Dorcey of Impira

Thanks for sharing your experience with Impira! We're glad you can see the positives of using our one-shot machine learning vs. training your own ML model. :-)

Well implemented key-value and template-based data extraction Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Impira?

Strict binding of configuration to page coordinates (except for template-based data detection), not elastic table detection/extraction, not following the document structure (titles hierarchy etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Impira solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are looking for machine learning implementation of document data extraction tool, not just the extraction based on user data fields configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Impira?

Easy to use. It complements the ML tool we use for cost optimization. We extracted unstructured data, and it was a manual process; to some extent, we could minimize that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Impira?

Probably need more enhancement to consider the variables associated with Engineering drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Impira solving and how is that benefiting you?

Productivity improvement, as it minimized manual intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Impira?

Impira allows for targeted marketing, branding, and efficient connection among a team. Looking at the data that lies in various of forms of media is very beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Impira?

Impira has many levels of pricing, however there is not a true level of individualization for team members or a team that doesn't quite fit the mold of the current plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Impira solving and how is that benefiting you?

The utilization of unstructured data has been immensely helpful- collecting data where there otherwise may not be- especially with the use of their AI- has helped to solve many problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
