Panorama Necto Reviews

It is impressive how easy it is to use this tool. A good example is when you want to share your dashboard with someone, you just find the person and give the permission.

This tool exceeded my expectations! I have never seen before a reporting/Business Intelligence tool with so many innovative resources, like interactions with other person, share reports, save notifications, send e-mails.... It has all of these functions that are easy to use and you don't need to get out of it.

It's allowed us to collaborate on self-service BI data.

Improve the community support. Solving this, they also solve the problem with too many gadgets in the dashboard. They have too many options in the graphs and when I asked the support to help me with that, they did not respond. I did not find any forums to help me with the options. I also encountered some duplicated videos on the website after that. 

I used a week to test and compared it with other reporting tools.

No issues with deployment.

It's been stable.

I used this tool 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, and with a simple click you can import data from multiple sources to build visualizations. It's very intuitive and very good for interactive analytics. 

Also, Panorama Necto has excellent in-memory performance.

This BI tool helps to limit the dependency on IT for data discovery in the company. It's very much a self-service BI tool.

It is only able to be installed on Windows, and they should offer a Linux-based version as well. Also, the big data technology support is also very limited. 

I would also appreciate it if there would be a personal edition that I can install on Windows Home Edition for my client to assess the product. The free edition is the only one that allows the client to connect to a Necto server in the cloud, It is not possible to install the full Necto solution (client and server) in the Home Edition of Windows.

• Connects to any data (most backend packages as per industry standards).
• Understands the nature of data and the metadata really well. Treats the data on the fly and creates smart visualizations.
• Creates basic data arrangements easily without waiting for the users to instruct. For an example, given a date field it creates a calendar hierarchy by default.
• Comes with lots of option to modify and build the smart infographic. Uses innovative pictures and charts to create the dashboards.
• Provides a centrally hosted collaborative platform to share your work to a wider audience but only of your choice. The role-based access is really amazing.
• It has smart computing abilities to deliver some of the complex analytical requirements such as what-if analysis, pinpointing the actual issues and side by side comparison of business factors.
• Helps you identify why you are succeeding and where you should shift your focus to.
• The maps are amazing and they just don’t act as control points rather you can populate various measures on them making it really efficient to understand the business in geographical info graph.

Necto has everything that a smart BI tool needs and below are some of its features which stands apart from legacy reporting tools. It builds a trust with clients through its data security features and served really well in convincing some of our partners to start a decision process to venture into this.

I did not find any areas of improvement based on what analysis I have done. It would be great to see how it evolves with improvements in the future though.

• Good social and collaboration capabilities.
• Fair amount of documentation available considering a relatively new tool
• A very good self service BI tool
• Allows connecting multiple data sources

• Has improved the performance of the data analyst team
• Allows us to create dashboards quickly without much dependency on technical people

• The performance with large data volumes need to be improved
• Allow us to integrate xls data files on an existing dashboard

Less than a year

Didn't have many issues, however some performance issues need to be sorted before deploying to the wider community.

No, it's been pretty stable so far.

Very good

Very good

Yes, we are evaluating this tool against other BI tools available in the market like Qlik and BO.

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.

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

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.

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.
