Overall Satisfaction with Astera ReportMiner

In our organization we use Astera ReportMiner to combine data in Excel Columns that come from multiple Excel files to gather analytical insights on business operations. In this way we are able to collate massive amounts of data into a single Excel sheet, saving hours of time. The use of the product is very streamline and simple so onboarding new users to the platform is a fast process as well. Astera ReportMiner works great with EMR data exports and any other financial/operational data where exports may have different column header labels, where the data in the columns is uniform and can be combined under new labels. Astera ReportMiner also validates data or helps transform/clean data so in the event data is not uniform there are tools to make it so. This makes combined data more easily ready for Excel actions such as creating pivot tables, ensuring quick uniformity for more complicated tasks.
  • Cleanse and Transform data to ensure uniformity and then validate it to check the work was done correctly.
  • Great UI to select Excel Files that need to be combined and what columns need to be merged and renamed.
  • Fast platform that does not take a long time to process, runs well without being to much of a hamper on system resources.
  • Quick to teach and onboard new users.
  • 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 has had a positive ROI in that analysts save a lot of time doing manual data merging by using this tool instead.
  • It is an easy to learn tool so there is an ROI in onboarding and not taking resources from others when trying to teach to platform to new users.
  • By completing data migration faster we now have more time to gather better insights from the larger data sets thus getting better analytics for our clients in a shorter time frame. This leads to better ROI as we can produce more in a shorter amount of time.
Astera ReportMiner had a more concentrated feature stack for what we were looking for at a cheaper price so we went with it instead of other competitors that had more features, more complicated UIs, and had more expensive subscription packages because of it. They also had an easy purchase/setup process at the time of our procurement.

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.
