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.

"Now, it seems to be one of the best SAP dashboard/chart/data analysis tools available."
"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."
"Within an hour or so, we had actually a better visualization of the data."
"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."
"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."
"It provides better, more robust ability to visualize data than in Excel or some of the other desktop tools that are out there, providing users the ability to identify actionable trends in their data sets that they normally wouldn't see, like in a spreadsheet or tabular data, a report."
 

Cons

"Support for multiple languages is still under review and yet to be implemented."
"Support and functionality for Mac OS X."
"If you are looking for powerful tool which can support large scale databases and BigData Analytics, Necto is NOT an option."
"Limited support for big data analytics."
"There is need for improvement with report sharing and documentation."
"Multi-language support"
"Compatibility with Mac OS and Blackberry platforms."
"Improvement in integration with Big Data"
"An area of improvement, for sure, is the flexibility of the visualization."
"Don't waste your time. Lumira falls short of its competitors in this space both in capabilities and in ease of use."
"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."
"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"I would look at the geospatial part of it which doesn't seem work well as when you look at converting that for your maps, it is a little cumbersome, and it's not as accurate."
"From an enterprise supported tool, I find that a little wanting."
"The Cloud/Edge version of SAP Lumira still needs to be more user friendly."
