No code and prebuilt templates are very easy and convenient for anyone without programming skills to adopt and use it. User Interface and Role based reporting helps business and application users for their specific reporting needs. For day-to-day activities where only, few reports are needed this tool felt as less appropriate

Astera ReportMiner is well suited for those who work with EMR Data or business operations data where different platforms may report on similar data but not everything is the same between the different systems and how they export their data. It works especially well when systems can't edit their exports so you need to clean up data a lot before they are combined into a single file. It is less appropriate a solution when you are trying to combine large data, let's say thousands of files and need some sort of platform to deduce analytic patterns out of it. This is more used for data preparedness rather than big data analysis. This may have changed with recent updates, however they do not do a good job of updating customers on new releases so keeping track of their developments is something worth doing if data management is an important part of your/your company's role.

Astera Software
  • ReportMiner's OCR accuracy is flawless to my experience. I use the program to pull values from check details, and have yet to find an error.
  • ReportMiner's interface is easy to learn. I never even got formal training on the program. I watched some YouTube videos and learned as I went.
  • ReportMiner training personnel is very knowledgeable and quick to respond. Anytime I ran into a problem I could not figure out on my own, they would get back with me within a half a day.

  • Could provide some features to help with advanced analytics for big data. (i.e. larger data sets)
  • Too much clutter on their Youtube page, they should highlight the tutorials so they are easier to find for new users. Get rid of old tutorial video playlists so the organization is clean and up to date.
  • Have sales rep follow up with customers to offer product updates, new product releases, and do check ins to see if customers have suggestions for feature improvement.

It is the best way to get a multi line record from pdf to Excel in one row.

Usability
Tempo
Simplicity of the API is easy any developer for the initial API integration and HTTPS for the secure and encryption of the data. Various data applications can be combined for consolidated reporting and exporting capabilities of the report. Added advantage is using the incremental refresh, which only sends the new or changed data.

Integrated user interface similar to ServiceNow along with multiple filtering options and export the report. Different role for administrative task and to view only roles for end users. Incremental refresh helped in load balance by getting only the new or changed data. Consolidated reports for various business applications and HTTPS layer for sending the data.

I have never actually used another program like ReportMiner. Before I was just using PDF viewers such as Adobe that had OCR capabilities. I would have to select a range of numbers and copy and paste to Excel. It was tedious, slow, and sometimes error prone. I chose to learn ReportMiner because it saves me at least 4 times the amount of time I would have to use by copy and pasting.

  • Efficient and automated data extraction. Saves time and resources.
  • User-friendly interface and good documentation. It is therefore easiest to learn and apply in a short time.
  • Documents, which have various formats of data tables or arrangement, needed a lot of manual fixing. So it required a lot of time for validation and quality control.
