Panorama Necto Reviews

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.

Through a vendor team. I would rate them 6/10.

Value for money.

While working on Business Intelligence and searching for newly available tool, I came across Panorama Necto. This is the first business tool I have seen with a scope for personalization and while providing a great visual infographic experience and which is user friendly.

There is also the provision for collaborative working where users can share, discuss, and edit on a single platform. 

Some helpful features like realtime notifications, public or private comments, maps and location-based services are also made available.

The mobile BI app takes this tool to the next level.

With this tool business users can effectively present data and track performance very interactively while changes are being updated dynamically.

• This is not compatible with Mac OS and Blackberry.
• No multi-language support.
• Limited reporting customization abilities.

We've had no deployment issues.

It's been stable.

We've been able to scale with it.

There are many features to be mentioned -- collaboration, high infographics, high memory performance, excellent geo analytics, supports various kinds of charts charts that are not available in other tools.

In our organization, we use a lot of charts so we have work on different tools for different kind of charts. Various kinds of charts that serve our purposes are made available by this tool.

I think the dashboard is not that catchy for the first time. Looks a bit clumsy. I think there could be some kinds of demo videos available.

I've used it for two years.

4.5/5

I feel the initial setup is simple to get done.

The cost is very affordable for one to purchase.

Our company evaluated various tools of this sort and finally decided to work with this.

I recommend this for users who want to possess an excellent tool with lots of features and within budget. Highly recommended for start-up companies and small companies.

• Some of the features it provides, are highly useful for the kind of requirements we have
• Highly interactive and eye catchy infographics
• Powerful exception handling capabilities
• It has got excellent collaboration capabilities
• It can work with multiple data systems

Currently being challenged by a very high priced Reporting tool with very limited flexibility, hence looking for a relatively less costly and end user centric tool with good info graphics and we think Necto could be a worthy option.

• Initially when one starts with the tool there are so many options on the console (it is a bit cluttered), one is a bit confused
• If it gave the same performance with a huge warehouse it would be a big hit
• I have seen many tools performance degrade when different widgets and infographics are used

We are currently being challenged by a very high priced reporting tool with very limited flexibility.  Hence, we are looking for a relatively less costly, and more end-user centric tool with good infographics, and we think Necto could be a worthy option.

Effective data presentation, tracking performance interactively, dynamic update of changes, collaborative working environment and mobile BI app.

Mobile BI app in very helpful. Very effective data presentation and collaborative environment.

Compatibility with Mac OS and Blackberry platforms. Multi language support.

Less than a year

Did not encounter any issues so far.

No stability issues.

Good technical support.

We are a small IT company that was looking for a BI tool in order to eliminate the usage of Excel as the reporting tool in our organization. For a company having business users and decision makers in different time zones and different offices, Necto provided a great solution. 

The Social collaboration built in Necto helped with interactions among business users while viewing a single work board. The work boards are collaborative, dynamic and suggestive. The recommendation engine is the most interesting piece as it suggests relevant work boards based on a user's usage.

The work boards are a great way to provide the management a clear, concise, one source of truth and progress of business in one snapshot. The drill down capabilities allow the business users to analyze and gain insights. It lets business users spend more time on analyzing data rather than collecting and creating reports.

The feature to find people and chat with the concerned user right from the report window adds a great value and reduces the pain of emails going back and forth among users.

Cause and effect is a nice feature to have in order to do a first level of analysis. The ability to find exceptions and provide various insights is a great feature to have.

Getting the business users trained and getting on board was easy as the interface is intuitive and easy to learn and manage.

Necto should allow support of multiple languages as this has been the major issue we have came across as we have offices in various South American countries.

No issues with deployment.

No issues with stability.

No issues scaling.

I am in the process of suggesting a new BI tool to our management team and I am looking at the different BI tools available.

Certainly Necto is good when it comes to:

• Infographics
• Multiple database connections
• Security

It has nice social features which can give context based discussions, search for users and relevant content within the system.

Necto has a Twitter-like feeling since we can subscribe to users in Necto. Subscribing to one of our colleagues lets us follow all the changes made to his or her workboard.

I am disappointed at following points

• Lack of BigData talks
• Predictive analytics looks a bit immature

Nowadays everybody is moving towards BigData and in this scenario, if any tool falls short in this area then it is a red signal for all of us.

No

Yes. In my opinion, Necto isn't scalable for a large amount of data. It cannot handle BigData.

We have not used customer service so far.

We have not used technical support so far.

I am into the process of suggesting a new BI tool to our management team wherein I am looking at the different BI tools available on the market.

We have not used any BI tool so far and we may explore OBIEE next.

It was smooth

It was a trial version to check the feasibility.

Necto has not been implemented yet. We ran a POC to check the features and capabilities and hence there is no ROI so far.

I would like to make one comment to the user community - if you are looking for powerful tool which can support large scale databases and BigData Analytics, Necto is NOT an option. Please refrain from using it.

• Users can start context-based discussions, and include context and annotations, which are saved as part of the work board to add more depth and foster knowledge sharing
• Subscribing to users - subscribing to one of our colleagues lets us follow all the changes made to his or her work board, and because you can view users' shared work boards, you can concentrate on those users that are active. Subscribing is easy. You just need to click a person in the social bar, then click the subscribe icon, and a second click will unsubscribe you.
• Necto has a Twitter like feeling
• Necto is available both as a client server and online service
• The Panorama website offers support through email, phone and tutorials

• Major improvement is needed in the way Panorama offers in-person training and online chat support
• Also, they should find the way to analyse big data

Almost a year.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

I'm not sure on the scalability, but a part of Necto may have issues with big data.

This is the reason we want to give a lower rating. The customer service is in a young state currently. Note that panorama does not offer in-person training or online chat support.

Good.

No previous solution was used.

It was straightforward to implement.

We set it up in house.

It was just a proof of concept, so no ROI.

We also looked at OBIEE.
