Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
6.3
Panorama Necto impressed with features like predictive analytics and collaboration, reducing costs and enhancing mobile accessibility despite a learning curve.
Sentiment score
7.1
Tableau offers rapid insights and cost reductions, enabling users to recoup investments quickly despite some viewing it as costly.
This saves a significant amount of time, particularly for reports that would have needed around fifty people.
The ROI of using Tableau extends to its seamless integration across various platforms, as it's from Salesforce and thus not limited to any specific cloud provider.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.5
Panorama Necto's customer service and technical support are generally rated highly, despite lacking in-person training and online chat.
Sentiment score
7.0
Tableau's customer service is responsive and professional, with praised technical support, though some note wait time concerns.
They provide quick email and phone responses and have Thai-speaking personnel.
I find Tableau's technical support to be good with elite support, but it struggles with usual, general support.
The technical support for Tableau is quite good.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Panorama Necto generally scales well, though some users face challenges with large datasets and performance with Big Data.
Sentiment score
6.7
Tableau effectively scales with optimized configurations, but performance may decline with extremely large datasets, impacting scalability and cost.
The solution is fully scalable and performs well even with large datasets, provided there is proper supporting hardware.
Tableau is easy to use across various dimensions, whether on-premises or on the cloud.
Tableau's data blending capabilities are an added feature.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
Panorama Necto is stable and reliable, with minor slowness and potential cloud issues likely due to network setups.
Sentiment score
7.4
Tableau is generally stable, efficient with varying data sizes, but may struggle with complex datasets or insufficient infrastructure.
I rate the stability a five or six because Tableau updates very often with new versions or patches.
 

Room For Improvement

Panorama Necto requires UI simplification, improved multilingual and analytics integration, better support, compatibility, and streamlined processes with large datasets.
Tableau users seek faster data processing, better customization, machine learning integration, and affordable pricing, plus enhanced support and training.
Pricing is also a concern for me as it is expensive compared to TIBCO Spotfire Enterprise licensing and Microsoft Power Platform.
The product owner should enhance its benefits or clarify its role.
When I want to use or present something in a certain way, it's hard to locate the necessary features.
 

Setup Cost

Panorama Necto offers competitive pricing and trial options, making it a top-value choice for enterprise business intelligence tools.
Tableau's licensing is costly but offers valuable functionality, yet smaller firms find its pricing prohibitive and complex based on roles.
Power BI as a much cheaper alternative.
The cost for viewer rights is around $60, but it can vary based on the business and is usually for a year.
I think Tableau is expensive compared to TIBCO Spotfire Enterprise licensing and Microsoft's Azure and Power Platform.
 

Valuable Features

Panorama Necto excels in collaboration, visualization, and offers customizable infographics, integration with Microsoft, and intuitive decision-making tools.
Tableau excels with interactive visuals, diverse data connections, and user-friendly interface, driving efficiency and insights alongside strong community support.
Building hyper extracts and visualization capabilities make Tableau a robust tool for data analysis.
A significant feature for me is the real-time connection to data sources because it effectively manages large data sets.
Tableau serves as a stable dashboarding tool for higher management, aiding in quick decision-making.

The self service capability of Necto has encouraged users to build their own dashboards.
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.
ROMIL SHAH - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides fast data access with in-memory extracts, makes it easy to create visualizations, and saves time
When it comes to visualizations, Tableau has a limitation as compared to Power BI. It has a limited set of visualizations. Power BI has the entire marketplace, so you can connect and import many visualizations and use them, whereas Tableau has only 10 or 15 visualizations. There should be more visualizations, and there should also be data integration with more cloud providers. Tableau has recently launched a paid version for the documentation. So, documentation has become a little bit challenging when it comes to Tableau development because we do not have any tool to export the data out of it. It is a license-based feature that you need to purchase to prepare documentation. So, on the documentation front, for preparing clear documentation for any dashboard, it would help if we get an embedded option, rather than buying a license for each user for the documentation. To document anything, if I have to connect to each workbook and see what has been written as a formula and then document in the Word document, it is pretty time-consuming. We have the Microsoft stack, and we are currently evaluating Power BI because Tableau has a limitation of 50 columns for a drill-down report. If we want more than 50 columns, we have found a hack, but there is no ready-made option for doing it. So, we have to use another tool in case we need a drilled report with more than 50 columns. There are many instances where users need 80 or 90 columns for their analysis, and switching between two technologies becomes a challenge. It is not a cost-effective approach for us. Their support should be improved. We are not happy with their support. Whenever we raised queries, we were pointed to a few blogs, and we didn't get a proper solution from them. Their licensing should also be improved. They want us to purchase a Tableau Creator license for business users, whereas Power BI Desktop is free for business users. They should come up with a basic license with one or two connectors that our business users can use for preparing their visualizations. Tableau also charges us per user for users who want the data only through email.

For SQL Server Analysis Services cubes you might consider Yellowfin BI or Zap Technology. Zap is very specific to SSAS. Yellowfin can access SSAS cubes as well as relational sources.
