Panorama Necto Reviews

We like the collaborative and supportive business intelligence feature most in this product. Because of the collaborative environment, business users from different departments can communicate & share feedback with each other in a fraction of time. Supportive business intelligence also helps new users to drive through the product and make themselves familiar with it.

Before implementing Panorama Necto, there was a lot of manual work to do which requires lots of man powers and resources. Due to Panorama Necto, everything becomes centralized now, so anyone can easily access their reports from a central repository. It helps us to improve productivity and reduce cost.

• Provide more data connection (mainly BIG data connection)
• Provide Linux support.
• Upload more learning tutorials on site or youtube.

Collaboration and infographics are the most valuable features of this product.  

We built up a data warehouse from our organizational data. For analysis purposes, we created different OLAP cubes, like an employee cube for our HR department. Previously, we were using Excel to browse the cubes, but we often got requests from various department to use a modern business intelligence tool. So we evaluated a number of business intelligence tools and found Panorama Necto the most promising of them all. 

We can easily connect our OLAP cube without installing any drivers and can browse the cube with slice-and-dice capability. Due to its collaboration features, communication happens within/across the department smoothly and effectively. Users are quite happy with this tool. 

- Support for other languages should be provided.

- Should provide BIG data connection.

- Should work in Linux environment.

The collaboration capability of Necto BI is amazing. The infographics are very attractive. It's a smart self service BI application.

Very powerful tool which supports almost all data sources automatically. The ability to automatically build workboards is highly personalizable with just a few clicks. It can present any business data based on hierarchy in a very smart way (no matter how small or large your organization is). Their predefined workboard layouts suites your business language for better visualization. Regarding usability- the dashboards are all device friendly. Hence, I can use it anywhere.

There is need for improvement with report sharing and documentation.

It needs some enrichment in the knowledge base community. When using other BI applications you can find answers on forums without submitting a support ticket to the customer support team.

It is an easy infographic design app that requires very little effort to produce interactive dashboards in ways that make sense to the enterprise. 

Panorama Necto is a collaborative business intelligence tool. The most valuable and relevant data is shared within the organization to improve decision-making across the board. 

The tool can automate the process of analyzing information and provides a self-service data discovery that automates much of the data analysis process.

Panorama Necto helped us to develop beautiful and high-quality info graphics reports for top management. This Business Intelligence tool helps us find the right information source to fuel critical insight.

There are limitations for big data analysis. The team is trying to find ways to collect and analyze how marketing activity affects consumer decisions. Also, the dashboards looks a little bit complicated at first look.

It has smart computing abilities to deliver some of the complex analytical requirements such as what-if analysis, pinpointing the actual issues and side-by-side comparison of business factors.

Provides a centrally-hosted collaborative platform to share your work to a wider audience but only of your choice. The role based access is really amazing

I used Necto to publish some of the testing result reporting and it was great in terms of creating dashboards and sharing.

It should have quick connection and efficient data management for big data platforms such as Hadoop.

• The users can take a deep dive into their business processes with the rich infographics suite. Necto has more than 2,000 infographics in its library.
• The exception handling capabilities of Necto is powerful one which includes bubble up exception, automated insights, root cause analysis and they are just a couple of clicks away...
• Another prominent feature of Necto is its real time collaborative decision making. A group of decision makers can collaborate with each other and compile a meaningful real time analysis.

• Support for bi directional language is not powerful. (Arabic, Hebrew)
• BIGDATA is questionable

I used OBIEE previously. The reason for switching to Necto is its easy to use with 3rd party integration and has a rich Infographics service. Also, Necto is very strong in collaborative reporting.

Initial setup is very straightforward and easy to implement.

It was an in-house implementation.

ROI is excellent. e.g. Dashboard sharing, Scheduling of reports. Predictive analytics. These are some of the most striking returns we got in our datawarehouse.

The eye-catching infographic features enhance the visual appeal. This tool is extremely beneficial for self-service data discovery. It is very easy to use with relatively good performance. Good remainder mechanism to bound people to act and respond on any highlighted issue on time and with authority.

I am new to this tool but can say one thing that this is a nice tool for those who love data.

1) It should support Mac, Linux and other blackberry devices as well.

2) Dashboard should be somewhat easy to use.
