Panorama Necto Reviews

There are many features to be mentioned -- collaboration, high infographics, high memory performance, excellent geo analytics, supports various kinds of charts charts that are not available in other tools.

In our organization, we use a lot of charts so we have work on different tools for different kind of charts. Various kinds of charts that serve our purposes are made available by this tool.

I think the dashboard is not that catchy for the first time. Looks a bit clumsy. I think there could be some kinds of demo videos available.

I've used it for two years.

4.5/5

4.5/5

I feel the initial setup is simple to get done.

The cost is very affordable for one to purchase.

Our company evaluated various tools of this sort and finally decided to work with this.

I recommend this for users who want to possess an excellent tool with lots of features and within budget. Highly recommended for start-up companies and small companies.

The most valuable features for us include the infographics that can be created by the user for visualizing the data trends. Also, we like the ease of integration from multiple data sources.

It's very flexible and almost meets any of your needs.

For data discovery, it actually minimized the dependency on IT.

I don't think it would support data analytics if the data set is really very big. If this is improved, it would reduce the user catch-up for other advanced tools in this field.

I would rate it 5 for 5 because they are very quick and accurate about what should be done for the issue that's occurred.

The technical support is also very good. I would give it 4.5/5.

The initial setup is pretty simple and if I needed, we can get support. It is very straightforward.

The licensed version is very cost effective. The cost is really very low when compared to its competitive products.

Definitely, it is a very good tool to use or BI people. Try it once.

Necto 15 as a BI tool is outstanding. It has many features which would make life easier for people in an organization that had to deal with large volumes of data. As a real user of Necto, the following are the few features which I liked most:

1. Simple and easy to use.
2. Automatic analysis and recommendations to generate basis dashboard from raw data, i.e. the Self-Service feature.
3. Enhanced data visualization with a wide range of tools and features.
4. In-cell info-graphics for better data visualization.
5. Workboard sharing with other users.
6. Inline comment features to highlight a specific issue in a workboard.
7. Automatic recommendation of similar already generated dashboards for better data analysis.

There are couple of occasions in the recent past where Necto 15 has really saved our day. There was one such occasion when we were unable to find the cause of a decline in sales for a particular item, whereby Necto 15's data analysis feature and other analytic tools helped us drill down to the root cause of the problem and helped us to find a solution to the issue.

It is an excellent tool and it's always recommended for people who love to play around with data.

Like every other tool, Necto 15 also has some drawbacks. As a user, following are the features which I felt should have been there:

1. It should have support for operating systems other than Windows.
2. No trial version or home edition available which a user can download and play around in their local machines to understand the product before making the final order.
3. The workboard feature should have been more simple and easy to use.
4. Apart from training videos, there should have been documents which users could reference to understand the vast range of features that are available in Necto.

Almost a year now.

Customer service is very helpful and always there to address your problems whenever required.

They have a very active online forum where you can get answers to almost all of your technical queries. Besides, the customer service is always ready to assist you. Also, there are quiet a few training videos available on the Panorama site which one can refer to learn new things about the product.

We have been using a couple of custom-made reports before switching to BI tools with Necto.

The initial setup was pretty easy and straightforward.

We implemented the product through a third-party vendor and gradually our in-house team took over from them. They were quiet knowledgeable, helpful and understood our problems very easily.

If you are looking for a low-price BI tool which would give you maximum value for money, go for Panorama Necto.

Yes, but since we we had very limited budget and we were looking for a tool which would give us maximum benefit within an affordable price, none of the other tools that we evaluated met the criteria.

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.

What I extremely appreciate is that the tool is easy to use, and with a simple click you can import data from multiple sources to build visualizations. It's very intuitive and very good for interactive analytics. 

Also, Panorama Necto has excellent in-memory performance.

This BI tool helps to limit the dependency on IT for data discovery in the company. It's very much a self-service BI tool.

It is only able to be installed on Windows, and they should offer a Linux-based version as well. Also, the big data technology support is also very limited. 

I would also appreciate it if there would be a personal edition that I can install on Windows Home Edition for my client to assess the product. The free edition is the only one that allows the client to connect to a Necto server in the cloud, It is not possible to install the full Necto solution (client and server) in the Home Edition of Windows.

Amazing business intelligence tool with rich info graphics, it is one of the excellent self service BI tools with impeccable collaboration features.

We are currently using this tool for cross-country sales reporting and, we must admit, this is an amazing tool for self-service data discovery.

Matchless click to collaborate features, initiate discussion on data points and context, connect relevant users and dashboards and explore suggestive auto insight. Amazing geo analytics support, readily integrate with maps and plots the charts nicely.

It provides self service BI platform for data discovery, automation, collaborative business intelligence, Panorama helped us to replace costly BI tools and bring down the licensing cost and made tool available to more users.

Limited support for big data analytics, limited awareness and distant learning like online courses. Worst part is no personal edition for installation on Windows home edition, and I hope they will be coming up soon with a personal version.
