Datawatch Modeler review
Datawatch is used extensively by our finance department to export large, unformatted reports quickly into Excel while extracting only the relevant info.
- It allows us to quickly dump large non-ALV SAP reports into Excel. Exporting these reports prior to Modeler was cumbersome at best.
- Customizable models allow us to easily gather required data from the same report running different dates. This is perfect for month-end reports.
- Quick exports.
- Editing the models is not intuitive and takes a fair amount of training. Datawatch should work on their GUI.
- Quicker reporting
- Improved efficiency
- Improved morale

Datawatch - Great Product, New (ouch) Pricing!
Datawatch Monarch text editing software is utilized by hundreds of users across our organization. It is the best text editing solution for downloaded mainframe reports, and allows end users to quickly render their own data. The Monarch software is intuitive, flexible, and easy to use. Datawatch Data Pump solution was implemented over 8 years ago by our regional IT department as a logical extension of how we use Monarch. Data Pump is used to schedule and output hundreds of processes and reports we have created over the years to support departments across our supply chain, and links extremely well to data we maintain in SQL.
- Monarch is very flexible, easy to use, and intuitive. It links well with other data sources, and has a wide array of calcs available for power users.
- Data Pump is a logical conclusion for those who are familiar with Monarch xprj's. Once a project's model, data source, and data destination are established, it makes sense to want to automatically schedule it. Data Pump makes it easy to group, organize, schedule, track and trouble-shoot multiple projects in one place.
- Recently, we had some major sticker-shock when we wanted to upgrade Data Pump. It is an exceptional product, but when the price jumped from $6,000 to over $60,000, it was impossible to get the funds approved internally for the upgrade.
- We also paid for yearly maintenance contracts which included Professional Services, but rarely found those services beneficial. However, we did receive all software upgrades for Datapump as part of the contract which we found to be very beneficial. However, with the new pricing, that is not longer the case.
- Data Pump reduces complexity of report solutions by offering a standardized approach for organizing and scheduling
- 97% service level for past 5 years for all of our jobs going through Data Pump
Datawatch Monarch has been the standard text editing solution for Supervalu for over 10 years. Because it works so well and was already a well-known fixture in our organization, the benefits of Data Pump were immediately recognized. We did not look for other software solutions, as it was a natural progression of an existing solution.
