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

"The infographics are customizable and the tool is end-user centric, with a commendable recommendation engine."
"This is the next generation BI tool, which will be very helpful to small and medium businesses to kick start data exploration and visualization on their diverse databases, with lesser intervention of IT."
"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."
"This tool exceeded my expectations!"
"It is an awesome tool, with really cool features such as being able to find relevant people when commenting on a data element, helping you quickly find the right people to solve problems, add them to a discussion, and get fast resolutions while storing all discussion histories in one place."
"Awesome performance compared to the other BI tools in the class."
"The major strengths of this product are social business intelligence, insights and intuitive self-service."
"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."
"Within an hour or so, we had actually a better visualization of the data."
"The dynamic creation of dashboards and the quick visualization is the key feature."
"This is a tool that gives more power to the user."
"I like the integration, so it's easy to integrate different data sources."
"SAP Lumira is the best system in the world, at least in my opinion. I like that it's a stable system and that many people in my company have development experience in SAP Lumira. The solution keeps on improving and has excellent support."
"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."
"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."
"It's more of a user-friendly tool, it's easy, and it speeds up the process."
 

Cons

"I think the dashboard is not that catchy for the first time."
"There are limitations for big data analysis."
"Limited support for big data analytics, limited awareness and distant learning like online courses."
"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 is only able to be installed on Windows, and they should offer a Linux-based version as well."
"Support for bi directional language is not powerful. (Arabic, Hebrew) BIGDATA is questionable"
"Major improvement is needed in the way Panorama offers in-person training and online chat support."
"It becomes a big deal if the data to be handled is very large."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"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 to have more complex and enriched chart functions."
"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."
"I'm not a fan of using SAP Lumira 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 Lumira is a complex system to learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly."
"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"It has some limitations when operating BW data, and has limited functions when mixing different data sources."
