Panorama Necto vs. SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence

Panorama Necto 14 is well suited where BI is built to support social collaboration so that its analytics features can be shared to improve decision making by incorporating various organizational input. Additionally it supports an infographic display for information review which is unlike most of its competitors.

SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence as a stand-alone platform seems to be quite powerful with a wide range of capabilities and integration options. The integration itself proved to be challenging which was mentioned before. We also had some issues with delays in data queries which resulted in delays of the visual representation on the SSCE dashboards.

• Comes with lot of option to modify and build the smart infographic. Uses innovative pictures and charts to create the dashboards
• Helps you identify why you are succeeding and where you should shift your focus to.
• The maps are amazing and they just don’t act as control points rather you can populate various measures on them making it really efficient to understand the business in geographical info graph

• MII is particularly good at providing and customizing dashboards for quick analysis of industrial IoT data.
• MII also has built-in analysis functionality to make more sense of all the IoT data being streamed.
• MII (and ME) are particularly effective at identifying outliers and problems with equipment/processes before they cause delays or other cascading issues. This allows for effective preventative maintenance.

• This tool is relatively new to the current competitive BI market. Many organizations or business analyst are not yet aware of it's eye catching features.
• Need more enhancement for predictive analysis.
• Publishing reports as email attachment and mail server configuration is a little complicated process.

• MII is a system to build custom solutions which may not solve industry 4.0 solutions
• SSCE component is not really a no code low code platform
• Standard OEE module is very complex to implement

Some features are very basic and sometimes you can't add your own SQL query for custom reports. For Macs and Blackberry users this application is not helpful. Non-languages are not supported in info-graphics. They need to improve their forecast analysis. Report sharing is limited among the portal users only

It provides all the features that are required and some that are not the basic requirements, but they represent a great additional capabilities, not available within the similar products

If a proper UI5-based implementation is done, the system works at best if a proper application server and database exist. However, from a customization perspective and an easy-to-implement application-from-scratch perspective, MII is top-notch compared to the other mentioned systems. SAP ME sits on top of SAP MII as a foundation.

Support provider are very attentive.

Documentation on some of our implementations was lacking. As an example, creating the query that reads the tag is explained through the documentation but this only explains very specific data models. Other models are not explained and take time to debug. Customer support was willing to help and an official note was created after we found some issues with the integration tools.

Everything went smoothly, we didn't have any unexpected issues

This is the next generation BI tool, which will be very helpful for small and medium businesses to kick start data exploration and visualization of their diverse databases, with less intervention from IT. This tool is more end user centric and gives way more power to the end user to perform data analysis

SAP MII is a robust platform for data visualization and data integration. It isn't very intuitive and has the shortcomings explained throughout the review. It still uses old Java versions which is incompatible with updated versions. The SAP ME and SAP CP provide cloud-based solutions that seem to provide a more innovative approach.

• SAP MII is a more robust, feature-rich solution than any in-house application would be.
• Our experiments have granted us the skills necessary to help our clients with their own industrial IoT journey.
