the capabilities of preparing data. The customer support experience that they provide is very good. Support has been able to help me with all the cases that I opened and they track the progress until everything is resolved. I also like the sales team who was very active and supportive when purchasing the software. They are also have been involved in the deployment activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
there are still many bugs in the software. There are errors when importing files. It seems that many things are still in development. I also have problems with the lack of training opportunities. Datawatch Monarch is a good software and it is difficult to use and setup. Having better training options could make life easier for everyone and make the most out of the software.

I like the ability to create various templates for the different PDF files I receive from the various entities. It is also really easy to use on different files if I get something other than PDF - I am not limited in what I can use Datawatch for or on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a few entities that don't have a consistent format and this doesn't always extract the data cleanly from those. It takes a bit more manipulation and effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its ability to mine data from multiple file formats. I like its ability to use character based parsing functions to split or concatenate data fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Monarch releases new versions too frequently. Its pricing has increased substantially since I became a user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a very flexible product. There are few products out there that can do what this does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish there was more training available on video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of extracting data into usable reports. Loved the ability of PDF to Excel conversion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There was nothing to dislike about the product. I wish the trial had lasted longer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like the data mining and data visualization capabilities, as well as the ability to take data from virtually any source, cleanse it, and send it off to virtually any other source or application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since migrating from the ever popular Monarch Pro 10.5 to Versions 11,12, and currently 13 on a .NET framework, the local memory usage of the application has risen quite a bit. I would like to see better memory allocation of the software to not bog down the system as much. I recently upgraded my computer to 16GB of RAM, and this has certainly alleviated many of my concerns.
I would also very much like to see this product usable in other environments, whether it is a native Linux environment as I know there are many users like myself that prefer that operating system, and the core stability and power of it.
The other, probably more popular alternative in this day and age, would be to see this utilized as cloud applications so regardless of the platform, the users have full capabilities wherever they are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Models are simple to create and easy to apply.
Quick to use once the initial models are set up.
Best software for converting PDFs to excel format and consolidating multiple files into one report.
Very useful for multi-layered PRN report conversion into Excel format, and handles large datasets better than excel. The calculated columns are useful to provide a full excel report in one file, and creation of models allows the repetitive tasks to be carried out quickly and easily once the models are created.

The cost of the licenses is quite high. It feels like our rep is always trying a sales pitch and chasing me when I have already told him the purchase decision is not up to me. It was be nicer if he was less pushy.
Its a shame that you can't choose whether the settings come from the user or model when dealing with multiple regions. If EU/US and UK users could use the same model, but take their user settings to dictate date/time/number format then this would be a great improvement rather than having to create multiple models to do the same thing. I hope they do not remove classic mode because the data preparation studio does not replace it completely. Classic mode is a lot easier to use on a regular basis.

Ability to process tons of data quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Newer version has more keystrokes than other version. I've been using Monarch since 1996 and older versions relatively had better keystroke functions.Otherwise general functions are the same.
Also, in the search function, you need to indicate search up or down at any given point. What if you have a file with thousand of records and you have to search records in a non-sorted order? Can't the program always go to top-of-file and then search? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
