Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
6.3
Panorama Necto impressed with features like predictive analytics and collaboration, reducing costs and enhancing mobile accessibility despite a learning curve.
Sentiment score
7.1
Tableau improves decision-making and efficiency, offering quick adoption and high ROI, especially when replacing outdated systems.
This saves a significant amount of time, particularly for reports that would have needed around fifty people.
The ROI of using Tableau extends to its seamless integration across various platforms, as it's from Salesforce and thus not limited to any specific cloud provider.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.5
Panorama Necto's customer service and technical support are generally rated highly, despite lacking in-person training and online chat.
Sentiment score
7.1
Tableau's customer and sales support is praised for responsiveness, with technical assistance valued but needing improvement in some areas.
They provide quick email and phone responses and have Thai-speaking personnel.
I find Tableau's technical support to be good with elite support, but it struggles with usual, general support.
The technical support for Tableau is quite good.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Panorama Necto generally scales well, though some users face challenges with large datasets and performance with Big Data.
Sentiment score
6.7
Tableau's scalability is influenced by server setup, workbook design, and is improved with new releases, despite pricing concerns.
The solution is fully scalable and performs well even with large datasets, provided there is proper supporting hardware.
Tableau is easy to use across various dimensions, whether on-premises or on the cloud.
Tableau is easy to scale.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
Panorama Necto is stable and reliable, with minor slowness and potential cloud issues likely due to network setups.
Sentiment score
7.3
Tableau is generally stable, with improvements in newer versions, but issues may occur with heavy loads or poor infrastructure.
The application hangs after continuous use due to the buildup of cache.
I rate the stability a five or six because Tableau updates very often with new versions or patches.
 

Room For Improvement

Panorama Necto requires UI simplification, improved multilingual and analytics integration, better support, compatibility, and streamlined processes with large datasets.
Tableau needs enhanced data integration, advanced analytics, cost-effective licensing, and improved enterprise features for user experience and performance.
The product owner should enhance its benefits or clarify its role.
Pricing is also a concern for me as it is expensive compared to TIBCO Spotfire Enterprise licensing and Microsoft Power Platform.
When I want to use or present something in a certain way, it's hard to locate the necessary features.
 

Setup Cost

Panorama Necto offers competitive pricing and trial options, making it a top-value choice for enterprise business intelligence tools.
Enterprise buyers should consider Tableau's varied licensing, higher costs, and flexible options compared to alternatives like Power BI.
Power BI as a much cheaper alternative.
A license for 150 users costs around $17,000 USD per year.
I think Tableau is expensive compared to TIBCO Spotfire Enterprise licensing and Microsoft's Azure and Power Platform.
 

Valuable Features

Panorama Necto excels in collaboration, visualization, and offers customizable infographics, integration with Microsoft, and intuitive decision-making tools.
Tableau offers a user-friendly interface, dynamic visualizations, and integrates diverse data sources for effective, real-time data analysis.
A significant feature for me is the real-time connection to data sources because it effectively manages large data sets.
Tableau serves as a stable dashboarding tool for higher management, aiding in quick decision-making.
The interactive, action-based approach allows for detailed data analysis.

The self service capability of Necto has encouraged users to build their own dashboards.
Panorama is a fully web based self service BI Solution with Powerful infographics. Various chart components are available for the dashboards. The look and feel is extremely catchy. I like the flip between one dashboard to another. Necto has the ability to subscribe to users through social features and thus follow the user's shared workboard. It's exception tracking capability and notification to the users is one of the unique features. Necto can be seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Office and Sharepoint which is a great feature. Very powerful collaborative tool offering context based discussion/likes/dislikes and other interactive features to ensure effective data analysis. Panorama Necto has a group of highly experienced and knowledgeable resources to support any issue.

Real-time data connection enhances workflow and decision-making process
An area for improvement in Tableau is the Explorer license type. It is not as useful, and the product owner should enhance its benefits or clarify its role. Additionally, the frequent updates with many versions available for download can be confusing and could affect stability. They should avoid providing access to older versions on their website.

For SQL Server Analysis Services cubes you might consider Yellowfin BI or Zap Technology. Zap is very specific to SSAS. Yellowfin can access SSAS cubes as well as relational sources.
