Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."
"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."
"Due to its collaboration features, communication happens within/across the department smoothly and effectively."
"Some of the features it provides are highly useful for the kind of requirements we have, with highly interactive and eye catchy infographics, powerful exception handling capabilities, excellent collaboration capabilities, and the ability to work with multiple data systems."
"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."
"It is an easy infographic design app that requires very little effort to produce interactive dashboards in ways that make sense to the enterprise."
"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."
"While working on Business Intelligence and searching for newly available tool, I came across Panorama Necto, the first business tool I have seen with a scope for personalization while providing a great visual infographic experience and which is user friendly."
"Awesome performance compared to the other BI tools in the class."
 

Cons

"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."
"Online tutorials on this are not available. This should be done or documentation can be improved."
"Scheduling and publishing is a bit complex task."
"Need improve on handling big data."
"It is only able to be installed on Windows, and they should offer a Linux-based version as well."
"There are limitations for big data analysis."
"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."
"It should have quick connection and efficient data management for big data platforms such as Hadoop."
"Support for multiple languages is still under review and yet to be implemented."
