The infographics feature is unique to Necto. However, they need better tutorials and community support.
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…

It's stable, it keeps on improving and the technical support is excellent
I think a lot of users aren't having fun using SAP because it requires putting in a lot of information by keyboard directly because it requires some coding, so this is one area for improvement. From a user point of view, SAP is a complex system where you can learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly. In the next release of SAP, I want it to have a friendlier menu for its users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Very powerful tool which supports almost all data sources automatically."
"If your data sources are many and ETL consumes a lot of your time, go for Panorama Necto."
"I would definitely recommend this product to others as it provided ease of use and good reports."
"Awesome performance compared to the other BI tools in the class."
"This tool is extremely beneficial for self-service data discovery."
"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."
"They have started working with Panorama Necto and are extremely happy with the product."
"It's more of a user-friendly tool, it's easy, and it speeds up the process."
"It is a product that's easy to learn and understand, with the ability to create dynamic visualizations and various integration options including next-to real-time."
"Now, it seems to be one of the best SAP dashboard/chart/data analysis tools available."
"The most valuable features of SAP Lumira are the dashboards, geographical elements, and graph filtering, and the usage is similar to a website which makes it easy to use."
"We chose it because of its ability to have a selection of data from various sources, and it's an easy reporting tool for business analysts to use."
"I think rapid development, geospatial coding, using it to connect to multiple data sources are all good selling points for it."
"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."
"We’ve created several dashboards that display large sets of data in an insightful and easily digestible way."
 

Cons

"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."
"Scheduling and publishing is a bit complex task."
"There is very limited documentation available for this tool."
"Support for other languages should be provided."
"Administration is an area where it needs improvement as a huge set of scripts are required."
"Missing support services."
"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."
"Second thing is the limited support for big data analytics, this again is not very critical at the moment but it is a good to have functionality, and soon once the user are familiar with the basic analysis they will start looking for option like big data analytics, etc."
"It needs to have more complex and enriched chart functions."
"Lumira was very useful for me, but now I have more needs, and I have to move faster because I am responsible for a lot of data, and a lot of information that I have to provide to the directors and VPs."
"There have been some issues; the product itself is going through the improvement stages and the newer versions seem to be more stable."
"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."
"SAP Lumira's scalability is very limited. Every time we have to involve IT if there is a change in the dashboard."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
"I am happy with the product, but they could improve in the discovery of the product."
