Ability to easily convert PDF into text, especially in those situations where PDF documents have complicated format. So far, we have been able to address every scenario. We have tried other service such as PDF Focus and Azure Form Recognizer but only ReportMiner was able to handle all scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a learning curve to using the tool. Not sure if business users will be able to effectively use the tool without IT support. For image based PDF processing, we have to first run the OCR process. I would love to see ReportMiner add that capability in one package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very simple product to use. You do not need a degree in software development to become proficient in using Report Miner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like to see the scope of the product expanded without having to go to the full ETL solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Once self taught figured out the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Online Class SUCKED!
Tutorials SUCK!
had to self teach myself-took 2 weeks to self teach.
I am pretty decent with computers as well--any normal RN would not have been able to do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What i like the most about report miner is the ability to create functions and calculate fields. I like that to create the model is really easy, it has a tool to grab the rows just by clicking.
is intuitive, and powerful.
you can zoom the file if the file has many fields and you need more space to separate the fields.
you can also test the export before exporting. it convert the data type depending on the value that you get in the field, from datatime, int, or text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
sometimes it get stuck in the data region when the file is too long.
there is a limit on the pages, it allows you to convert files no more than 60 pages i guess, we have an issue with a file that was 100 pages long and we need to split the file in 3 parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that once I have created a report model I can use it over and over. Having that reliable tool and consistent model that I can return to and easily use months later is wonderful.
I have also found the pre-recorded learning sessions to be extremely useful. I came into this tool with no idea how to use it and was able to reference the videos and figure out enough to use the tool effectively on my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish there was an easier way to save and re-use data flows. I also wish there was a way to keep things you use open - like a favorites bar where I could place the add a constant value function and grab it wihtout having to open tools and drag it from there.

Flexibility, ReportMiner can do an amazing variety of things with a scanned pdf. There is a definite learning curve but it does what I need and their support is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am not an extremely technical person. I work with technology but I am not a developer. The tool is generally a little over my head but I have learned to use it and their support has been great about helping get it set up and troubleshooting issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We use report miner enterprise, which lets you auomate tasks. The software is flexible enough to allow you tackle projects on different areas,it is also very intuitive, that makes train new users a much simpler task. Responsive customer support. Astera added OCR with version 7 and that helped us tackle even more intricate captures. We plan to move to centerprise in the future, this is a keeper for sure.

Version 6 had issues with stability that were taken care of with version 7, a model could become useless if you saved it with an error. Before buying this software, we tested comparable solutions and even with the mentioned glitch on version 6, report miner was the more stable solution we could test, so all in all, we could accomodate to what it offered.

For businesses looking for a full-blown report extraction solution, ReportMiner is an excellent choice. For those of us that need report extraction on more of a one-off basis, the express version is the most cost-effective choice, but has some shortcomings which prevented us from making a purchase.
User-friendliness and ease of use was very good, as good or better than some of the competitors we reviewed. Except for the shortcoming mentioned above, we might very well have ReportMiner at work right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
First and foremost, the ability to run 1 model against multiple report files. This was the dealbreaker for us. While it is available in the Enterprise edition, our business needs didn't justify the additional expense of that version, which was significant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program is very simple in both structure and guidance. It only took me a day to get acclimated and was able to generate various models that met my need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am having problems when modeling a report that has various lines of data to capture. It would be nice if there is a guide that pops up when using this feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
