Panorama Necto Reviews

The most valuable features for us include the infographics that can be created by the user for visualizing the data trends. Also, we like the ease of integration from multiple data sources.

It's very flexible and almost meets any of your needs.

For data discovery, it actually minimized the dependency on IT.

I don't think it would support data analytics if the data set is really very big. If this is improved, it would reduce the user catch-up for other advanced tools in this field.

I would rate it 5 for 5 because they are very quick and accurate about what should be done for the issue that's occurred.

The technical support is also very good. I would give it 4.5/5.

The initial setup is pretty simple and if I needed, we can get support. It is very straightforward.

The licensed version is very cost effective. The cost is really very low when compared to its competitive products.

Definitely, it is a very good tool to use or BI people. Try it once.

- It lets users analyze corporate data and create personalized dashboards

- Very intuitive, and interactive analytics

- Highly visual and understandable infographic format

- Many applications works together in a self-service mode

- You can add more user in a group for a discussions like a social media.

- The interactive infographics dynamically reflect business changes

- A very good tool for a small to mid size company for a small to medium scale BI projects

The very first thing that comes in mind about Necto - Panorama Software is its scalability and it is readymade for enterprise deployment, with very minimal efforts.

Excellent in memory performance, return results with clicks, matchless click to collaborate features, just initiate discussion on data points and context, connect relevant users and dashboards and explore suggestive auto insight.

Using its Geo Analytics feature, it is easy to find sales/revenue in a particular location, you can locate users on an interactive maps. It location-based infographics is useful and it shows automated relevant insights of all locations. It support all devices (desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile phone). Event on mobile devices it allows you to use the dashboard in the same look and fee, which is great for any executive who travels a lot and and quickly assess the report from hand devices. Empower business users with self-service, governed platform with this, users have the freedom to explore and create their own visualizations. Gives IT more power to govern and manage the platform with ease.

- No Multi language reports

- No information related to certification

- Panorama Necto has less community support.

- The dashboard looks very complicated at first look

- No SQL query support

- Limited support for big data analytics

- No support for Linux or commodity hardware

We have been using this tool for self-service data discovery.

The tool is quite easy to use and we got on-premise training from Panorama.

I like their customer service and the tech support guys are very responsive.

I saw lot of people complaining about lack of community forum, but they do have a forum that is quite active.

The things like I most it supports variety of charts, I was quite bored with my previous BI tool which mostly support bar, line, and pie chart. I can now create more meaningful charts radar, doughnut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc.

Mostly empowered business users with data handling capabilities and helped to lower capex cost.

I think publishing and scheduling can be a bit simplified.

No personal edition for installation on Windows home edition.

More than a year

I don't know.

Sometimes cloud version hangs, but this could be due to issues in network firewall, so not sure. The root cause is still unknown.

Very good.

Very good.

Yes, we were using a leading BI tool, but Necto came for less than half of the cost with more features.

Installation was very smooth as we had on-premise support.

In-house with help from Panorama support guys.

Almost reduced BI tool licensing cost by half, but this comes with cost of new tool learning curve.

Yes, they can try this.

We did couple of options like Sisense, Pyramid, etc.

I found following features most valuable:

• Built-in social BI capabilities: context sensitive discussions and annotations linked to relevant data
• Contextual & suggestive data and search results
• Best of Data Discovery and Enterprise BI with a unified web-based UI
• Data mash-up in one view: Access Corporate BI & Ad-hoc data sources and model together on the fly using in-memory technology

Based on self-service data discovery and visualization capability of Panorama Necto 14, users from our North American enterprise was able to use interactive infographics to dynamically reflect business changes on the slowly-changing dimensions of the retail market.

Panorama Necto 14 community support should be improved.

I am using this solution from past 1 year.

I would like to rate customer service as 7/10.

Would like to rate technical support as 7/10.

In-house team

Our level of expertise is 8/10.

Panorama got its start in 1993, establishing a close relationship with Microsoft through its sale of its OLAP technology, a relationship the two companies maintain today.

Yes, we evaluated Tableau.

Panorama Necto on the other hand is built to support social collaboration so that its analytics features can be shared to improve decision making by incorporating various organizational inputs. Additionally, it supports an infographic display for information review which is unlike most of its competitors.

- It lets users analyze corporate data and create personalized dashboards.

- Very intuitive and interactive analytics.

- Highly visual and understandable infographic format.

- Many applications works together in a self-service mode.

- You can add more user in a group for a discussions like a social media.

- The interactive infographics dynamically reflect business changes.

- Users can create their own infographics to visualize trends in the data.

- Starting discussions, subscribing to users, searching all features are easy.

- Its performance and social capabilities is very good.

It's quite easy to create reports in Necto using the infographics feature. Collaboration helps to share ideas with others, which helps to make decisions faster.

Good community support for users and tutorials for beginners.

We switched becayse of the great capabilities of this tool.

It is straightforward and easy to use and to navigate.

Still Implementing.

Right pricing of the product listed. Reasonable & economical as compared to others available in market.

We use several BI solutions and recently evaluated Panorama Necto.

I would definitely recommend this product to others as it provided ease of use and good reports.

The most valuable feature I found with this tool is that it advises current trends of workboards after analyzing your data. It gives us tons of defined workboards/ charts to play around with.

I am part of an IT team that maintains a full-fledged data warehouse and supports our business users, particularly business managers. Previously we used to provide them reports/charts/dashboards that they demanded.

But with this tool, we have succeeded to off-load this job from our shoulders. The easy-to-use user interface empowered the business managers to visualize the data on their own.

• There is very limited documentation available for this tool.
• No support for languages other than English.

Definitely a cost effective option as it comes at half that price of other leading products in the BI domain.

I would strongly recommend this tool to those who possess data but do not know how to proceed with it, i.e. what type of charts/dashboards they should generate to visualize data more effectively.

You just give your data to this tool, and then it will give you concise views of the insights that you and other stakeholders are interested in.

The Exception Handling feature that identifies the errors and highlights them to the user is a unique feature that cannot be found in any of the BI tools other than Panorama Necto. 

The collaboration, automation, graphs, performance make it the best of its kind.

Performance would be an issue when dealing with databases. We never faced a performance-based issue once we started working with Panorama Necto. 

The reports made out of its rich infographics were impressive.

Installation and set up is very easy. There is a customer care team who are very precise at dealing with things that would help us out if needed.

It becomes a big deal if the data to be handled is very large. It would be very effective if the interfaces and dashboards support large volumes of data. 

I've used it for one year.

Yes, it is quite straightforward. Even though there are some issues, there is a team who guides us.

I feel it the best BI tool you could ever get for the price offered. Don't miss a chance. Just go and grab it.

Considering all aspects of price or features or comfort working with it, it is the best. Take a chance and try it. It's worth it.

Amazing business intelligence tool with rich info graphics, it is one of the excellent self service BI tools with impeccable collaboration features.

We are currently using this tool for cross-country sales reporting and, we must admit, this is an amazing tool for self-service data discovery.

Matchless click to collaborate features, initiate discussion on data points and context, connect relevant users and dashboards and explore suggestive auto insight. Amazing geo analytics support, readily integrate with maps and plots the charts nicely.

It provides self service BI platform for data discovery, automation, collaborative business intelligence, Panorama helped us to replace costly BI tools and bring down the licensing cost and made tool available to more users.

Limited support for big data analytics, limited awareness and distant learning like online courses. Worst part is no personal edition for installation on Windows home edition, and I hope they will be coming up soon with a personal version.
