Panorama Necto Reviews

Panorama Necto provides governed and guided data discovery platform.

The auto-generated dashboards feature is a very good starting point for data discovery.

Simple and vibrant infographic can be customized to a cell level.

It has handy collaborating feature to initiate discussions with relevant users.

Good performance.

Not yet as we are trying to evaluate multiple options, but Necto has potential.

Need improve on handling big data.

User interface also needs to more professional .

Not yet.

No issues.

Is slow with big data.

So far so good.

Good

I have used Tableau and evaluated other options too.

Straightforward

I setup in-house.

No ROI yet. Still evaluating.

I have been evaluating tools within our organization to be suggested to different clients which are less technical and more business user oriented for fast first hand analytics and I came across Necto.

I was thrilled with the capabilities of astonishingly ready to build and simplified, modern and in-cell infographics that can be used by just right clicking on the attributes. Another feature that I think stood out in this tool is of it being suggestive which leads to automated analysis and recommendations. I also observed that it uses crowdsourcing to recommend workboards. This tool also has a feature of it being collaborative in decision making experience wherein one can directly connect with the associates within the enterprise from within the tool.

Quick reporting without need of technical expertise

Quick connection to multiple data sources and data integration

Quick answers

Quick collaboration

Performance in case of huge datasets needs to be further analyzed.

A good application for basic analysts but more advanced features need to be released by the vendor for power users in coming versions.

Cost of implementing multiple analytical tools for different sect of users should be considered.

Technical documentation needs to evolve with time.

Over one year

The infographics are customizable and the tool is end-user centric. It has a commendable recommendation engine.

Will allow us to migrate towards end-user centric tools from our current developer-centric tools.

Administration is an area where it needs improvement as a huge set of scripts are required.

2 weeks

It is slow.

It's fine.

We are currently assessing BI tools available in the market for a customer of ours. We want to migrate from the existing one.

Straightforward

In-house

We're still evaluating others as well.

This is the next generation BI tool, which will be very helpful to small and medium businesses to kick start data exploration and visualization on their diverse databases, with lesser intervention of IT. Yes, this tool is more of end-user centric, gives way more power to end users to perform the data analysis.

Eye-catching infographics, image banks, numerous chart options and functionality for slicing and dicing, amazing recommendation engine which can give more insights to users. Matchless click-to-collaborate features, initiate discussion on data points and context, connect relevant users and dashboards and explore suggestive auto insight. 

Panorama helped one of my clients to replace a costly BI tool and bring down the licensing cost and made the tool available to more users globally.

We were able to build a collaborative business intelligence solution, we replaced clients existing process of predictive analysis and forecasting, and provided solutions based on Necto with a lot ease.

The happiest group was surprisingly the business users who readily adapted this new technology after a couple of training sessions. They never had so much of freedom for data analysis.

The thing which I was expecting and is not available as of now was a personal edition for installation on Windows home edition that can come handy when practicing and training other users; I hope they plan to provide that to us soon.

Second thing is the limited support for big data analytics, this again is not very critical at the moment but it is a good to have functionality, and soon once the user are familiar with the basic analysis they will start looking for option like big data analytics, etc.

Necto has multiple features similar to other BI tools but parameters keeping it as emerging leader are:

1.) Collaborative Analysis: groups of people can decide things on the go, it's awesome.

2.) Vibrant Infographics: even single cell attributes can be set for infographics. It provides more flexibility to design workboards.

Currently we're in the evaluation phase, but it will provide more power to business end users to create reports on their own.

- Large data-set analysis performance

- Technical documentation

No issues with deployment, it was pretty straight forward.

No, it has been working fine during the evaluation.

No, it has been working fine with the set of data sources we used during the evaluation.

The vendor team has also been involved to resolve any issues, in a timely manner if required.

We are still in the evaluation phase and also looking for other dashboard reporting tools for business end users with strong graphic functionality.

Necto is the first BI tool with infographics which is a great and unique feature. For me, they are a new, better version of well-known KPIs. Users can create their own infographics or choose the existing ones from the library.

Collaboration and social capabilities including sharing content, starting discussions, subscribing to users, searching for the relevant content and many other similar feature is something me and my colleagues were thrilled by.

Support for mobile devices is very good and offers the same experience on all platforms.

It has helped improve the communication between the developers and business users. It's easy to leave notes related to charts and figures and to ask questions.

Needs more ETL and data transformation support.

Needs more support for predictive and forecast analysis.

Support more languages.

6 months

No, we didn't have any problems.

Very good, they were able to answer all our questions.

Very good, they were able to answer all our questions.

We are still evaluating several of the solutions present on the market and looking for the best front-end tools for our business users and Necto has caught our attention because of some great innovative features. We still didn't start using it production, it's still in the evaluation stage, but it is looking very good so far and we are considering switching to it.

Pretty straightforward.

It was an in-house implementation.

We are still evaluating. Some of the options are Tableau, QlikView, PowerBI...

I advise everyone to give this tool a chance an evaluate it. Some of the features offered are unique, my favorites are infographics and the support for collaboration between the users.

1. Auto-generated dashboards feature

2. Easy to used and highly customized info-graphics options.

3. Tool is user-friendly.

4. Error notification feature is useful.

5. Handy collaborating feature to initiate discussions with relevant users.

I highly recommend this tool for any business that wishes for quicker and qualitative analysis of their data. I used Panorama Necto for a regional sales dashboard and I confirm that it is one of the best data discovery BI tools I have ever used. What I extremely appreciate is that the tool is easy to use -- with a simple click, you can import data from multiple sources and build visualizations.

This tool is hosted over the web and you can connect to any industry-standard back-end packages that we know.

1. Limited support for big data analytics.

2. No support for a Linux environment.

We had no issues with deployment.

It's been stable.

No issues here.
