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

"Some of the features it provides are highly useful for the kind of requirements we have, with highly interactive and eye catchy infographics, powerful exception handling capabilities, excellent collaboration capabilities, and the ability to work with multiple data systems."
"Very good tool for the ones who are looking for ease of use and rich data visualization."
"Eye catching infographics and very good collaborative capabilities providing context based discussion has really impressed our users within the organization."
"It provides great infographics."
"If you are looking for a low-price BI tool which would give you maximum value for money, go for Panorama Necto."
"Panorama Necto's easy UI helps us to work with the data."
"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."
"Excellent infographics, very interactive, with seamless collaboration and impressive performance."
"I like the integration, so it's easy to integrate different data sources."
"Now, it seems to be one of the best SAP dashboard/chart/data analysis tools available."
"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."
"I think rapid development, geospatial coding, using it to connect to multiple data sources are all good selling points for it."
"It's more of a user-friendly tool, it's easy, and it speeds up the process."
"It's very easy to import data and also to create formulas and so on, and it made creating charts, especially bubble charts, really easy and very powerful, helping me build impressive metrics for the team around surgery times, supplies used, and expense analysis."
"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."
"Geographic hierarchy and the ability to connect with SAP sources, such as CRM, ERP, and BW."
 

Cons

"They have too many options in the graphs and when I asked the support to help me with that, they did not respond."
"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."
"Improvement needed for big size BI application."
"Panorama doesn't have big community support and many issues we refer to the technicians."
"Limited support for big data analytics."
"The performance with large data volumes needs to be improved."
"There are limitations for big data analysis."
"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 the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"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 has some limitations when operating BW data, and has limited functions when mixing different data sources."
"Don't waste your time. Lumira falls short of its competitors in this space both in capabilities and in ease of use."
"The Cloud/Edge version of SAP Lumira still needs to be more user friendly."
"It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."
"A lot of bugs keep coming up when we connect to HANA or create our custom color palette."
