Pros

"This tool is mainly used for forecasting, and it will, for sure, help all the organizations that need data/reports on expenses and headcount forecasting."
"Well certainly this product has helped many finance users in the organization as this product enables them to see the numbers for any cost center and business unit and also get a consolidated view of group level numbers."
"Khalix is a simple tool that builds on existing data sources to develop solutions in forecasting, planning and consolidation needs."
"This product offers a wide range of corporate performance management tools for powerful financial consolidation, planning and reporting."
"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."
"If you are looking for a low-price BI tool which would give you maximum value for money, go for Panorama Necto."
"Panorama Necto provides a governed and guided data discovery platform, with auto-generated dashboards as a very good starting point for data discovery, simple and vibrant infographics that can be customized to a cell level, a handy collaborating feature to initiate discussions with relevant users, and good performance."
"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."
"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."
"Due to Panorama Necto, everything becomes centralized now, so anyone can easily access their reports from a central repository."
"It provides great infographics."
"Very powerful tool which supports almost all data sources automatically."
 

Cons

"The original cost is set to use enterprise wide but the users growth is too slow to justify the cost. That's one of the reasons we stopped using this tool."
"If you compare it with Oracle then Longview isn't that user friendly."
"The initial set up was complex and painful, both with respect to database setup and the execution script."
"Web based reporting can have better user interface and functions."
"Support and functionality for Mac OS X."
"They have too many options in the graphs and when I asked the support to help me with that, they did not respond."
"Improvement in integration with Big Data"
"Panorama Necto 14 community support should be improved."
"Like every other tool, Necto 15 also has some drawbacks."
"Support for other languages should be provided."
"Performance in case of huge datasets needs to be further analyzed."
"Online tutorials on this are not available. This should be done or documentation can be improved."
