We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."
"Ingres is the only database solution that has maintained a level of consistency and integrity about the way users interact with it."
"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"If you are looking for a low-price BI tool which would give you maximum value for money, go for Panorama Necto."
"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."
"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."
"Interactive and eye-catchy graphs and widgets, real time conditional notifications on related KPIs to the users, exception handling capabilities, and the capability to connect to multiple data source systems make it a nice conglomeration for flexibility to the developer and an end user friendly tool."
"They have started working with Panorama Necto and are extremely happy with the product."
"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, providing more flexibility to design workboards."
"Excellent infographics, very interactive, with seamless collaboration and impressive performance."
"ROI is excellent, e.g. dashboard sharing, scheduling of reports, and predictive analytics are some of the most striking returns we got in our data warehouse."
