Panorama Necto Reviews

The best feature I liked is the infographics which is great and it's best unique feature. It helps developers use existing infographics from the library or they can create their own and present to end users.

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.

Several months

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 major strengths of this product are social business intelligence, insights and intuitive self-service.It is extremly beneficial for self-service data discovery. The customer service is good with online videos interesting and easy to understand. It's self-service mode is useful for many applications to work together.

I am a new user to this tool but still can say it is easy to use also it has exceptional error handling capability which is a new feature as compared to other tools.

1) Improvement needed for big size BI application.

2) Language support other than English needed.

worth for money

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.

Good technical support.

Our company migrated to Panorama Necto from another tool. This solution is very easy to use and offers a huge variety of features. It helps us reach our customers and our vendors, supports different graphics templates and implements interactive analytics tools. Also it has very effective tools to connect with your colleagues which is one of the best I have ever seen.

This infographic solution spawns amazing obvious sales reports and you can check many aspects of work of your sales team. Another positive points are the cloud service and capability to connect many sources in one task, so I can quickly create sales report from different teams and send it to different departments, even from my tablet.

And last but not at least, the Panorama team created very informative online help and video tutorials, so you can realize features of the product very fast.

With Necto we have significantly reduced TCO of our CRM and have improved our communications. Also we can provide data mining and sales analysis in different forms to different departments with a quick reflection of the changes.

Panorama doesn't have big community support and many issues we refer to the technicians. This isn`t great, especially with the lack of time. Also they do not support a Linux version and we have some problems with this.

A little less than a year.

Panorama has very comfortable price terms.

I recommend Necto to companies that need an effective and inexpensive sales\data analysis solution.

• More meaningful charts like Pareto chart, boxplot, range, point. 


• Awesome performance compared to the other BI tools in the class.


• Very intuitive and interactive analytics.


• Admin part is very user friendly, and creating users and groups is a bit easy task.


• More than visuals, data presentation is super while other tools have few limitations here.


• When you pull in data, hierarchies are created automatically.


• It's a scalable and self-service tool.


• Performance is so good when connected to multiple data sources, the in-memory works better.

• Easy to use for ad hoc reports and more meaningful dashboards.


• Compared to other tools pricing is less.


• Forecasting technique helps much.

• Scheduling and publishing is a bit complex task.


• Not much online training available and also very limited support on big data and analytics side.


• Also there is not much forum support for the tool.

I like its infographic feature and social ribbon the most. On one side, you can generate well-illustrated, data-intensive reports using its infographic feature, and on other side, you can get all stakeholders on board to address any concern/issue with specific report. 

By using the reminder mechanism, you can bind people to act and respond on any highlighted issue on time and with authority.

I have recently started working on this tool. Being a novice to the analytic field, I feel quite comfortable with this tool even during my beginner sessions. I'd say that this tool requires less training to start off with as compared to other similar tools available in market.

• No Outlook or Lotus support.


• No support for languages other than English.

I had no issues with deployment.

It's a stable solution.

It's scaled for us.

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.

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.

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.
