Ease of use and cross-training other users, feature rich with lots of clever options, and the in-built audit trail (from control point of view).

The ability to process complex documents (PDF, Mainframe reports, Excel, XML, JSON) without writing code. The key is to understand few concepts, the rest is practice.

I have a product that is fun and easy to use. I can get quick answers to important questions.

Saved a ton of time, with great customer support helping out along the way.

The ease of use of Monarch is amazing. Drag and drop data sets right into the software and you're off.

Saves a lot of time for me. My favorite function - sort and clean all extra noise from the original files that requires formatting.

It is feature rich and automatable. The support team is very responsive and the user base is very loyal and communicative in Altair Monarch community blog.

No built-in change management for the Automator part of the software.

It is extremely powerful to extract data out of PDF files. The automator product works great to automate data extraction processes.

I can quickly join different types of data together.

It is very easy to use with very friendly UI. I get results in required format and it is pretty fast.

I love the way that Monarch can flexibly capture huge amounts of data from various levels of a source file, allowing you to then present that information with formulas, filters and summaries.

We've had problems working with 17M record ODBC sources, but most anything would.

No real drawbacks, but PDF's can be a real problem and on rare occasions I have to do extra paring in SQL.

It  is the only product we have found in this price range that meets our need for PDF extraction. I am learning the REG EXP functions and they are very powerful.

Monarch is powerful and is the best value for our needs.

Altair Monarch includes a wide range of features that are impactful and can help users prepare and analyze data more efficiently and effectively.

However, that issue may be more due our outdated (7 years behind current) ODBC version than Monarch. Otherwise, my only other complaint is that I didn't start using this software earlier in life.

One of your consultants contact me to know if I am happy and getting on well with the program so it is a Pro that customer service is so good. I am a very happy customer.

The app does take some ram and shows some annoying notifications while gaming. I think you should create a lite app for this purpose.

I like how simple it is to configure and use. It is very effective to track all the activity of my pc.

Software was easy to use and adapt to. I have not integrated it with other apps.

It was amazing experience using this software, very easy process flow, minimum response time and great customer support.

With all the options, it can get a little confusing navigating the web interface.

Product was very easy to install and quickly it reflected the user in Dashboard. Very effective and powerful.

Amazing tools for Real-Time Employee Monitoring. As a supervisor, I could not speak more highly of this tool.

The cons that we initially experienced where due to user error and not the product itself.

ActivTrak is very good at what it does. Really like that only the administrator can uninstall it.

Easy integration, fast installation. Straightforward menus and intuitively is good.

It's very easy to use and provides robust monitoring for not a lot of money. The interface is clean and intuitive, activity was easy to examine.

It has very easy to use interface and track the productive time effectively. It also provides two factor authentication along with Active directory integration which completed the feature list.

Easy to use, simple to administer and feature rich.

The features ActivTrak offers are more than required by any person. It is full of stuff that you can utilize for the best productivity.

Nice and easy interface easy to use for admins. Automated alerts, ability to track Productivity.

Absolutely the worst customer service of my life.

Very easy to set up and navigate through the system.

Unlike most companies who sell you a subscription, there is no notification prior to your subscription coming due.

Inability to import activtrack users. Upgrading to a newer version sometimes loses the continuity for a person.

This is a reliable solution and is one of our most important investments yearly.

Ease of use and what the software offers. It is perfect for my remote office.

Easy to use and provides everything we needed for a very good price.

Easy to use, Customer Service is always willing to help, Incredible data, Flexible.

The expercience was extremely great, the software is intuitive and easy to use once familiarized with the interface.

Installation is frustrating and seems outdated.

Since we are a small nonprofit organization, I needed an affordable solution, one that can be administered without an IT department. ActivTrak has been the perfect solution.

I consider my experience as very good, I'm happy to continue working with the product.
