Grooper's approach to image and document analysis is not comparable to any other in the space. The intelligent analysis is fantastic and reduces man hours with growing return on investment.

Being able to simplify and even automate the data entry of scanned documents into our system with OCR is amazing and a godsend.

Good product with image processing and handling.

BIS would not take on any small projects to enable us to do more scanning, which was very frustrating.

We use Grooper to augment our employees, not replace them, and it has increased our performance as much as 90% for some processes - we just don't have any that can be 100% automated.

So far, I am impressed with the recognition features, as well as the automated correction.

By default, licenses get tied up and there's often unexplained issues that cause errors when processing documents.

The software can be a little intimidating to learn.

Grooper enabled us to get rid of some ancient scanning software. The Team at BIS worked to understand our needs and got us setup pretty quickly.

The navigation tree can get confusing if you aren't disciplined with your naming conventions and object placement.

I like that you can conform it to what works best for company.

Grooper is extremely easy to learn, very user friendly.

The idea of Grooper is amazing, using it can be difficult.

Grooper Website - The competent community, at your fingertips.

In regards to the DB table documentation, it is basically useless due to the bizarre field names.

I imagine Grooper will be very advantageous in acquisitions and divestitures;  Collecting, Assignments, Leases and Contracts.

The interface, similar to other applications like Tableau, is clear and concise. The community is available 24/7, answering questions quickly and helping move my projects forward.

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.
