Overall Satisfaction with Datawatch

Datawatch is used extensively by our finance department to export large, unformatted reports quickly into Excel while extracting only the relevant info.

Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • 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
Now that I've been exposed to Modeler, I can't imagine exporting reports without it.
If you need to quickly export large reports that contain superfluous data, regardless of format or software, you should use Modeler.
