"Monarch is an invaluable tool and Altair is an outstanding vendor to work with"
What do you like best about Altair Monarch?

Monarch fills a niche for data extraction and data prep that has no peers in the market. You could cobble together a toolset to replace some features, but for business users, there is no substitute for Monarch when it comes to reliably extracting semi-structured data. And even at the enterprise level, anything else would be more difficult to implement and maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair Monarch?

The HHWU license model has some huge advantages, but it would be helpful if there was a better process for automated enterprise deployments that didn't require any interaction on the end user's part. We were able to automate this, but the process could be smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great solution for overall data governance and management"
What do you like best about Altair Monarch?

The ease of data preparation and data classification and profiling with Altair Monarch is the best feature of the product. Data integration from other sources and creating streamlined workflows for enriching the data sources also works great with Altair Monarch. the availability of Altair One for the administration of all Altair products at one dashboard is another advantage I found in the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair Monarch?

The platform and dashboards work great and the solution is very handy for the organizational need if we succeed to get the best out of the available features. There is nothing to dislike in Altair Monarch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Altair Monarch is a Robust Data Preparation Software"
What do you like best about Altair Monarch?

The functions are easy to use. Altair organizes the raw data in their original clustered form into neat data sets that can be exported and utilized for analytics.

Has an additional data extraction feature that I use to extract data from submitted PDF or word documents while preparing audit reports.

The self-service data preparation makes it easy for me to do most of the practices without needing assistance from the IT team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair Monarch?

The peer community is still small but growing. This makes it very unlikely to meet a fellow with a similar problem as yours. The learning curve for this solution is also quite steep; I had to take a long training course before I began using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CFO / Consultant has made significant improvements via use of Monarch"

What do you dislike about Altair Monarch?

Can't think of a downside. I am a long-time user of the product and as it has evolved over the years its software engineers have made the product easier to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Altair Monarch - powerful data acquisition"
What do you like best about Altair Monarch?

Monarch software can extract data from different data sources - PDFs, TXT files, database feeds, XML, JSON, etc and transforms it according to the business logic. I like the most that Monarch has built-in easy-to-learn technics that allow me to parse non-trivial PDF and Excel files into a relational database for subsequent analysis and reporting. After the transformation is designed, it could be deployed to the Automator - the engine that will run based on the schedule or trigger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair Monarch?

The new unit-based licensing model becomes costly for the jobs that run in the Automator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great data preparation tool"
What do you like best about Altair Monarch?

It is very easy to derive formatted data from row files like pdf, texts, big data etc. The data preparation is very much error free and fast. More time can be utilised for value addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair Monarch?

The cost of the software is comparatively high. Most of the tools are available in python libraries, so it is a bit unreasonable paying this much amount for these tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
