Astera ReportMiner had a more concentrated feature stack for what we were looking for at a cheaper price so we went with it instead of other competitors that had more features, more complicated UIs, and had more expensive subscription packages because of it. They also had an …

The copier to Excel will not do anything for multi line records to make them one line on Excel.
Chose Astera ReportMiner
I have never actually used another program like ReportMiner. Before I was just using PDF viewers such as Adobe that had OCR capabilities. I would have to select a range of numbers and copy and paste to Excel. It was tedious, slow, and sometimes error prone. I chose to learn …

Likelihood to Recommend
ReportMiner is well suited for digitizing PDFs that includes data that follows a pattern such as a bank statement. It saves a bunch of time to make one report that will be able to be used each month for that bank. The program would not be useful if you had to spend the time making a new report each month for a new bank with a few lines of data

Cons
  • Could provide some features to help with advanced analytics for big data. (i.e. larger data sets)
  • Too much clutter on their Youtube page, they should highlight the tutorials so they are easier to find for new users. Get rid of old tutorial video playlists so the organization is clean and up to date.
  • Have sales rep follow up with customers to offer product updates, new product releases, and do check ins to see if customers have suggestions for feature improvement.

Astera ReportMiner had a more concentrated feature stack for what we were looking for at a cheaper price so we went with it instead of other competitors that had more features, more complicated UIs, and had more expensive subscription packages because of it. They also had an easy purchase/setup process at the time of our procurement.

Return on Investment
  • Efficient and automated data extraction. Saves time and resources.
  • User-friendly interface and good documentation. It is therefore easiest to learn and apply in a short time.
  • Documents, which have various formats of data tables or arrangement, needed a lot of manual fixing. So it required a lot of time for validation and quality control.
