Panorama Necto Reviews

Panorama is a fully web based self service BI Solution with Powerful infographics. Various chart components are available for the dashboards. The look and feel is extremely catchy. I like the flip between one dashboard to another. Necto has the ability to subscribe to users through social features and thus follow the user's shared workboard.

It's exception tracking capability and notification to the users is one of the unique features. Necto can be seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Office and Sharepoint which is a great feature.

Very powerful collaborative tool offering context based discussion/likes/dislikes and other interactive features to ensure effective data analysis.

Panorama Necto has a group of highly experienced and knowledgeable resources to support any issue.

The self service capability of Necto has encouraged users to build their own dashboards which ensures cost reduction and maintenance.

It is an awesome tool. It has really cool features such as being able to find relevant people when commenting on a data element. This helps in searching for the right people to solve any problems with your work, add any relevant people onto the discussion board, and start a discussion with them. This enables you to find more people for addressing issues, which in turn means you can get quick resolutions for problems. It stores the discussion histories from its users, similar to how Skype stores its chat history. This enables Necto to collect all answers in one place.

There are couple of occasions in the recent past where Necto 15 has really saved our day. There was one such occasion when we were unable to find the cause of a decline in sales for a particular item, whereby Necto 15's data analysis feature and other analytic tools helped us drill down to the root cause of the problem and helped us to find a solution to the issue.

It is an excellent tool and it's always recommended for people who love to play around with data.

• I like implementing it to send reports through email.

We access data from various sources. Collecting them, modifying them, and loading them altogether seems to be challenge. Now, it's become quite simple in presenting data on the dashboard. Categories of graphs make it more presentable.

The major strengths of this product are social business intelligence, insights and intuitive self-service.It is extremly beneficial for self-service data discovery. The customer service is good with online videos interesting and easy to understand. It's self-service mode is useful for many applications to work together.

I am a new user to this tool but still can say it is easy to use also it has exceptional error handling capability which is a new feature as compared to other tools.

Our company migrated to Panorama Necto from another tool. This solution is very easy to use and offers a huge variety of features. It helps us reach our customers and our vendors, supports different graphics templates and implements interactive analytics tools. Also it has very effective tools to connect with your colleagues which is one of the best I have ever seen.

This infographic solution spawns amazing obvious sales reports and you can check many aspects of work of your sales team. Another positive points are the cloud service and capability to connect many sources in one task, so I can quickly create sales report from different teams and send it to different departments, even from my tablet.

And last but not at least, the Panorama team created very informative online help and video tutorials, so you can realize features of the product very fast.

With Necto we have significantly reduced TCO of our CRM and have improved our communications. Also we can provide data mining and sales analysis in different forms to different departments with a quick reflection of the changes.
