Enterprises requiring a no-code solution to enable people with different skill sets to access and transform data to support efficient data analysis and machine learning predictions.
It assists mid-market businesses in distribution, manufacturing and retail industries with reporting and analysis capabilities of their ERP and drive financial planning.
It is feature rich and automatable. The support team is very responsive and the user base is very loyal and communicative in Altair Monarch community blog.
The software can be confusing to use, especially at the beginning.
Ease of use and cross-training other users, feature rich with lots of clever options, and the in-built audit trail (from control point of view).
However, that issue may be more due our outdated (7 years behind current) ODBC version than Monarch. Otherwise, my only other complaint is that I didn't start using this software earlier in life.
Monarch lets you identify the type and length of expected lines/fields so you can automate with ease. Great for macro running.
We've had problems working with 17M record ODBC sources, but most anything would.
Monarch is powerful and is the best value for our needs.
No built-in change management for the Automator part of the software.
The ease to use and train employees on this BI tool makes it best in the market. The power of building your own databases, customizing reports and the level of customer service is outstanding.
It was a bit difficult to understand the Sync/dbdesigner part since documentation on this was a bit vague.
I can show someone the basics in 5 to 10 minutes and they are off and running creating favorites and dashboards. The software is updated every month and their support and documentation is outstanding.
We have requested enhancements and we have some support issues that are submitted. But we have no visibility , (web portal), to review what we already submitted.
Additionally, the powerful and comprehensive capabilities of the software enable businesses to gain valuable insights into their operations and performance.
So much at once is hard to take in and learn all Phocas can give you. Too much data can be overwhelming.
Overall, I am genuinely happy with Phocas. I'm the kind of person who gets excited about report customization and flexibility within the way we structure our data.
They also don't have to rely on standard out of the box reports that can be limited in scope.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
