Panorama Necto Reviews

It is an easy infographic design app that requires very little effort to produce interactive dashboards in ways that make sense to the enterprise. 

Panorama Necto is a collaborative business intelligence tool. The most valuable and relevant data is shared within the organization to improve decision-making across the board. 

The tool can automate the process of analyzing information and provides a self-service data discovery that automates much of the data analysis process.

Panorama Necto helped us to develop beautiful and high-quality info graphics reports for top management. This Business Intelligence tool helps us find the right information source to fuel critical insight.

There are limitations for big data analysis. The team is trying to find ways to collect and analyze how marketing activity affects consumer decisions. Also, the dashboards looks a little bit complicated at first look.

1. Auto-generated dashboards feature

2. Easy to used and highly customized info-graphics options.

3. Tool is user-friendly.

4. Error notification feature is useful.

5. Handy collaborating feature to initiate discussions with relevant users.

I highly recommend this tool for any business that wishes for quicker and qualitative analysis of their data. I used Panorama Necto 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 -- with a simple click, you can import data from multiple sources and build visualizations.

This tool is hosted over the web and you can connect to any industry-standard back-end packages that we know.

1. Limited support for big data analytics.

2. No support for a Linux environment.

We had no issues with deployment.

It's been stable.

No issues here.

It is impressive how easy it is to use this tool. A good example is when you want to share your dashboard with someone, you just find the person and give the permission.

This tool exceeded my expectations! I have never seen before a reporting/Business Intelligence tool with so many innovative resources, like interactions with other person, share reports, save notifications, send e-mails.... It has all of these functions that are easy to use and you don't need to get out of it.

It's allowed us to collaborate on self-service BI data.

Improve the community support. Solving this, they also solve the problem with too many gadgets in the dashboard. They have too many options in the graphs and when I asked the support to help me with that, they did not respond. I did not find any forums to help me with the options. I also encountered some duplicated videos on the website after that. 

I used a week to test and compared it with other reporting tools.

No issues with deployment.

It's been stable.

Data discovery and transferring the data from Excel to dashboard with just 2 clicks are astonishing. Notification for KPIs is also very good. The self-service feature is cool in creating customized charts and reports.

Displaying the data on dashboard from Excel is a hectic task which involves lots of operations to be performed. This is made simple by just 2 clicks. It analyzes the data, converts them, and puts them on the dashboard.

Online tutorials on this are not available. This should be done or documentation can be improved.

I've used it for two years.

We switched because of its cool feature in moving the data from Excel to dashboard with ease.

Yes, the initial setup is very simple and straightforward.

Panorama Necto is made available to the users at a very affordable price compared to that of other BI tools.

Very good tool for the ones who are looking for ease of use and rich data visualization.

• I like implementing it to send reports through email.
• The data discovery feature is very good and appealing. It is very easy to use. The generation of dashboards from various sources is excellent.

We access data from various sources. Collecting them, modifying them, and loading them altogether seems to be challenge. Now, it's become quite simple in presenting data on the dashboard. Categories of graphs make it more presentable.

I feel scheduling is not that simple. Also, publishing takes considerable effort.

I've used it for two years.

The previous tool we used doesn't support the kind of graphs that we require.

The initial setup is very straight forward and the documentation made it easy to work on.

We can get this licensed product at a very reasonable price that no BI tool will be available for.

If your data sources are many and ETL consumes a lot of your time, go for Panorama Necto. With its automation, your work becomes simple.

The Exception Handling feature that identifies the errors and highlights them to the user is a unique feature that cannot be found in any of the BI tools other than Panorama Necto. 

The collaboration, automation, graphs, performance make it the best of its kind.

Performance would be an issue when dealing with databases. We never faced a performance-based issue once we started working with Panorama Necto. 

The reports made out of its rich infographics were impressive.

Installation and set up is very easy. There is a customer care team who are very precise at dealing with things that would help us out if needed.

It becomes a big deal if the data to be handled is very large. It would be very effective if the interfaces and dashboards support large volumes of data. 

I've used it for one year.

Yes, it is quite straightforward. Even though there are some issues, there is a team who guides us.

I feel it the best BI tool you could ever get for the price offered. Don't miss a chance. Just go and grab it.

Considering all aspects of price or features or comfort working with it, it is the best. Take a chance and try it. It's worth it.

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.

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.
