Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you can afford this solution, it's worth every dime in terms of what you get out of it."
"I use Location Analytics to identify rogue hotspots and find the last location of missing devices."
"I like Location Analytics' geofencing features for devices. You can manage thousands of devices with just a push of a button and deploy applications in seconds. For example, in schools, you can deploy an app update for thousands of iPads in just two clicks."
"The stability of the solution is excellent, and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"In general, it is helpful because it allows administrators to see where the Wi-Fi and network services are being most used."
"Technical support has always been very good."
"The pricing and licensing for Meraki are good, and I would rate it as a nine out of ten."
"Considering all aspects of price or features or comfort working with it, it is the best."
"Very effective data presentation and collaborative environment."
"It is an intuitive and jazzy infographics tool which is easy to use, trained, and deploy and it is very cost effective and generates high ROI for small and mid-sized companies."
"Necto is the first BI tool with infographics which is a great and unique feature."
"The product is very easy to use, very ideal for rolling out a self-service data discovery and visualization solution for data scientist and business users."
"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."
"Panorama Necto's easy UI helps us to work with the data."
"A very good self service BI tool Allows connecting multiple data sources"
 

Cons

"My biggest complaint with Meraki Location Analytics is the lack of visibility into the back end. Everything we do is through a customer GUI, and there's limited access to CLI functions."
"There are no specific areas for improvement as everything is working very well."
"I would like to see all of the features included in a single package."
"The pricing is a pain point for us. It's a bit expensive."
"The biggest issue is negotiating the price with a client. That's the most complicated part, but the product is worth it."
"The technical support before implementation could be better for premium partners."
"It should have quick connection and efficient data management for big data platforms such as Hadoop."
"Reporting customization features are limited to some extent, which might be a problem for advanced users."
"Provide more data connection (mainly BIG data connection) Provide Linux support. Upload more learning tutorials on site or youtube."
"I think the dashboard is not that catchy for the first time."
"No Outlook or Lotus support. No support for languages other than English."
"Support for bi directional language is not powerful. (Arabic, Hebrew) BIGDATA is questionable"
"Limited support for big data analytics, limited awareness and distant learning like online courses."
"They have too many options in the graphs and when I asked the support to help me with that, they did not respond."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is less expensive compared to other vendors for gold partners."
"They have different tiers of pricing including one-year, three-year, five-year, seven-year, and ten-year."
