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…

Cost effective with great capability, performance, flexibility and visuals
In general, we're happy with the solution but we're always looking to see what else is out there. The thing we've struggled with is our partnership with Tagetik UK, the consultants, and the issue we had gaining access to consultants to develop the solution on our behalf. Thankfully we connected directly with XLCubed and now have a pretty close and good relationship with them so the earlier problem we had of actually getting resources to help us develop has now been solved. One of the things that we've been asking for and would like as an additional feature is a sort of benchmarking functionality. The ability to be able to benchmark, directly against the company digital corporate numbers. That said, there seems to be improved functionality within the latest release that could help us develop that further.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has smart computing abilities to deliver some of the complex analytical requirements such as what-if analysis, pinpointing the actual issues and side by side comparison of business factors."
"The infographics are customizable and the tool is end-user centric, with a commendable recommendation engine."
"A very good self service BI tool Allows connecting multiple data sources"
"It is an easy infographic design app that requires very little effort to produce interactive dashboards in ways that make sense to the enterprise."
"The work boards are a great way to provide the management a clear, concise, one source of truth and progress of business in one snapshot."
"This infographic solution spawns amazing obvious sales reports and you can check many aspects of work of your sales team."
"I was thrilled with the capabilities of astonishingly ready to build and simplified, modern and in-cell infographics that can be used by just right clicking on the attributes."
"Excellent in memory performance, return results with clicks, matchless click to collaborate features, just initiate discussion on data points and context, connect relevant users and dashboards and explore suggestive auto insight."
"I am looking forward to testing their full graphics that are available, as they looked very interesting in the demo."
"The solution has great capability, performance, flexibility, visuals, everything, and we also have a very good relationship with the consultants and the solution is also very cost effective."
 

Cons

"Like every other tool, Necto 15 also has some drawbacks."
"Multi-language support"
"There are limitations for big data analysis."
"Provide more data connection (mainly BIG data connection) Provide Linux support. Upload more learning tutorials on site or youtube."
"This is not compatible with Mac OS and Blackberry."
"Panorama Necto 14 community support should be improved."
"Compatibility with Mac OS and Blackberry platforms."
"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."
"Would like the ability to be able to benchmark."
"At this time, I cannot recommend this solution to others because I cannot connect."
"It's quite a stable solution although we sometimes encounter issues internally within our IT department with regard to the structure."
"There should be a better or an easier way to establish that connection to external sources."
