Panorama Necto is a really effective tool. The best thing about this technology is how simple it is to operate; anyone can use this quickly. Another fantastic feature is the ability to build and share workboards with colleagues. Formulae and exceptions are also extremely strong Panorama Necto elements.
  • With Necto, data discovery becomes easy and natural
  • social features
  • exception tracking
  • automated insights
  • The platform is incompatible with Macs.
  • There is no multilingual support.
  • Panorama doesn't provide in-person instruction.
Business intelligence, data analysis, and reporting are all accomplished with Panorama Necto. This provide different features like Auto-generated dashboards, Social capabilities, easy to customize infographics and geo analytics support. The only problem is not able to handle big data and analytics.

We are a small IT company that was looking for a BI tool in order to eliminate the usage of Excel as the reporting tool in our organization. For a company having business users and decision makers in different time zones and different offices, Panorama Necto provided a great solution.
  • The Social collaboration built in Necto helped with interactions among business users while viewing a single work board. The work boards are collaborative, dynamic and suggestive. The recommendation engine is the most interesting piece as it suggests relevant work boards based on a user's usage.
  • 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. The drill down capabilities allow the business users to analyze and gain insights. It lets business users spend more time on analyzing data rather than collecting and creating reports.
  • The feature to find people and chat with the concerned user right from the report window adds a great value and reduces the pain of emails going back and forth among users.
  • Necto should allow support of multiple languages as this has been the major issue we have came across as we have offices in various South American countries.
Getting the business users trained and getting on board was easy as the interface is intuitive and easy to learn and manage.

While working on business intelligence and searching for a newly available tool, I came across Panorama Necto. This is the first business tool I have seen with scope for personalization and providing great visual infographic experience and is user friendly.

With this tool business users can effectively present data and track performance very interactively, while changes are being updated dynamically.

There is also provision for collaborative working where users can share, discuss and edit on a single platform. Some helpful features like realtime notifications, public or private comments, maps and location based services are also made available

  • Mac OS support

I'm currently using Panorama Necto for a regional sales dashboard for the sales department and I find it very mature for data discovery. It's one of the [best] BI tools I have ever used for data discovery. The tool is very easy to use, with a simple click, you can import data from multiple sources and build visualizations. It's very intuitive and very good for interactive analytics. It also has an excellent in memory performance. It will rapidly be adopted by the whole organization.
  • It help builds very intuitive and interactive analytics. It has excellent in memory performance and retursn results with clicks.
  • Highly visual and understandable infographic format. The things l like most is that it supports a variety of charts; you can create amore meaningful charts radar, donought, pareoto, scatter, range, point, etc.
  • It has excellent social and collaboration capabilities.
  • Panorama Necto does not have support for Linux or commodity hardware.
  • The big data technology support is very limited.
  • I would also appreciate if there was a personal edition that I could install on Windows home edition for my client to access the product.
Panorama Necto is very well suited for building an interactive dashboard. It makes it very easy to do a forecasting operation with data analytics. The decision becomes very simple while minimizing dependency on IT for data discovery. Panorama Necto can help replace costly BI tools and bring down the licensing cost and make the tool available to more users. During the selection process, it is important to know about publishing and scheduling.

Panorama Necto is being used across the organization to capture insights of business processes. The striking feature of Necto is - its users can take a deep dive into their business processes with the rich infographics suite. Necto has more than 2000 infographics in its library. The exception handling capabilities of Necto are powerful and include bubble up exception, automated insights, and root cause analysis and they are just a couple of clicks away! Another prominent feature of Necto is its real time collaborative decision making. A group of decision makers can collaborate with each other to make meaningful real time analysis.

  • Unified Access
  • No Desktop version dependency
  • Data modelling for non-RDBMS systems
  • Excellent Infographics
  • Real TIme analytics
  • Big data analytics
Panorama Necto is well suited for systems like ERP and CRM. However, its capability for big data is questionable.

Panorama Necto provides a panoramic data discovery platform in the BI landscape. The salient features of this tool which stands apart are:

  • Ease of use and getting started.
  • More end user centric.This reduces cost of training to the end user.
  • This is a very scalable tool and support the growing IT needs of a small to mid scale company.
  • Excellent geo analytics support.

  • Very intuitive, visually appealing geo analytics and info-graphics.
  • Very good collaborative capability with discussion/likes/dislikes and other interactive features ensure effective data analysis
  • Scalability and expandability.
  • Cost effective and value for money for small and mid sized businesses.
  • Provided that Panorama Necto is relatively an entrant in the BI industry, I think more support groups and forums should be available as it becomes more mature.
  • Integration to big data and analytics.
  • Personal edition should be available in Windows Home Version which will facilitate more research and evaluation.
1) What is the size of the business? - Panorama Necto is more suited for small and medium sized business
2) Will the tool be used by multiple business end users? - If yes, then this tool hits the target with its ease of use and its centered around end users effectively.
3) Is the business looking to shift into Big Data Capabilities? - If yes, provided that Big Data integration is at its entrant phase for Panorama, it would take some time to integrate.

One of the best tools in the market available today. I started getting attached to this tool recently and this never stops amazing me. I can connect to a variety of data sources and quickly analyze my data. The best part of this product is the built-in intelligence system which understands the data and the Meta data while they are being fed to the tool, on the fly. I used this tool to create some test result reports.
  • 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
  • Need to have good data connectors and efficient approach to handle bigdata somehow.
All in all it is a great tool. Fits well in all scenarios

Panorama helped one of my clients replace a costly BI tool; bring down the licensing costs and make the tool available to more users globally. It has eye catching infographics, an image bank, numerous chart options and functionality for slicing and dicing. It also has an amazing recommendation engine which can give more insights to users.
  • The tool is extremely easy to use, you can import data and create the visualizations with a click.
  • We were able to build a collaborative business intelligence solution, we replaced clients existing process of predictive analysis and forecasting, and provided a solution based on Necto with a lot ease.
  • It is more inclined towards the end-user with easy to use options and is not much of a developer centric tool.
  • Gives IT more power to govern and manage the platform with ease, on the other hand it is equally powerful for business users.
  • The thing which I was expecting and is not available as of now was a personal edition for installation on Windows home edition that can come handy when practicing and training other users; I hope they plan to provide that to us soon.
  • 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 users are familiar with the basic analysis they will start looking for options like big data analytics etc.
  • No support for Linux or commodity hardware.
Panorama can help medium and small business replace costly BI tools and bring down the licensing cost and make tool available to more users. It will not be suitable for a company looking for big data analytics.

Our organization is currently using different types of reporting tools along with Informatica. We are using MSTR, and Lumira. Currently Softfire is under testing and I've been testing Necto to check the capabilities of the tool. We are trying to look at some of the partner attributes based on LOB with respect to regions.
  • Fast and easy to deploy
  • Infographics
  • Scalable environment
  • Single platform
  • Single langugae compatability
  • Does not offer option for Blackberry and OSX
With Panoroma Necto, we have cool infographics built in which makes for an easier and a beautiful way to present the graphs or the reports to the end users. Necto does not actually need heavy coding or a need to understand loads of codes to create a graph. Using many inbuilt features we can present the report to the user and it is user friendly.

It's simply a great tool to serve all the needs for self-serve data analysis requirements. It is simple to create, share and collaborate. It has all the aspects of a great BI tool bundled in one product. After working on several data visualization tools and BI platforms, it was hard to believe that data can be visualized so easily and so efficiently. The time taken was simply a few minutes. If you have your data organized and cleaned, this tool helps you to analyze your highlights and lowlights of business in just 30 minutes or even less. I loved the way that the entire development was based on smart drag/drop modification of data. The infographics are really amazing and there are enough of these infographics to address various scenario based analytical requirements. Using color encoding on measures and dimension was never so easier and it makes the work boards tell the story of the business. The best part was that it connects to a pool of different data sources and has all necessary data connection driver already embedded. Hence no need to worry about creating customized drivers and connection strings. A very good tool and a must to watch out how this evolves in next few years.
  • Comes with lot of options to modify and build the smart infographic. Uses innovative pictures and charts to create the dashboards
  • Creates basic data arrangements easily without waiting for the users to instruct. For an example, given a date field it creates a calendar hierarchy by default.
  • Understands the nature of data and the metadata really well. Treats the data on the fly and creates smart visualizations.
  • Connects to any data (most backend packages as per industry standards)
  • 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.
  • Need more data manipulation and customized data modelling abilities
Have not tested it on rigorous scenario based fitment models.

We mainly used Panorama Necto for self service data discovery for our customer insight team. It helped us reduce dependencies on the reporting team to produce various ad hoc reports and stats for us. We could get all stats ourselves and also slice and dice the data as per need.
  • It is very easy to use, one can learn the tool with basic training and with a click you can import data and create the visualizations.
  • Eye catching info graphics, image bank, numerous chart options and functionality for slicing and dicing
  • Collaboration - share work boards with colleagues, discuss/comments/annotations
  • Good Performance
  • More community support
  • Publishing and scheduling is a bit complicated
  • No support for Linux or commodity hardware
Enquire about the level of support and whether they are giving dedicated access to a consultant for the initial months.

I'm into developing reports using SAP Business Objects. Its been five years that I've been working on reporting. I have used BI, Lumira, and Tableau to generate and visualize data. I have come across Necto which is really a cool tool to visualize data and present it to the business users. It has cool interactive graphs, advanced features like infographics, is easy to use, and has a fast and easy to deploy facility. It offers beautiful work boards to work with. I also found a cool feature - infographics which is very helpful in presenting data to the users. Hierarchies are done automatically. This is a scalable environment to work with and can also visualize data by using your own language. This is an outstanding self service BI tool which has cool features to visualize and present the data with social collaboration. It's easy to connect with different types of databases. I'm currently reviewing a project under POC by comparing both the tools, Lumira and Necto. A few points are it only supports English.
  • Cool Infographics
  • Create and share data via different users
  • Fast and easy deployment
  • Build or visualize data in your own language.
  • Use of variety of graphs available to present the data to the business
  • Metrics/Measures and geo_analytics.
  • Mobile BI apps
  • Different platforms like Mac OS X
  • Should be available for different languages as well.
  • BIG Data
Most reporting tools or visualizing data tools are offering language supportability. This would be a challenge when recommending this to some parts of the world. This is well suited for mid sized enterprises. More tutorials on this would help to learn more and explore more advantages of this tool. Also would appreciate it if this was available for different operating systems.

We are using Panorama Necto for analyzing projects, employees and financial data and creating interactive reports from them. Due to its user friendly interface, it's quite easy to create instant reports. It helped us to increase productivity and reduce overhead of each department.
  • Collaboration feature which helps our staff to communicate effectively.
  • Easy to use and required minimum efforts to train internal staff.
  • Suggestive Intelligence which helps to pick the best option.
  • Attractive visualization.
  • Build more community support and users network.

Panorama Necto is being used by our organization so team members are able to share data and figures in real-time between different departments, streamlining the process for any operation from identifying and remedying a sales shortfall to tracking inventory.

  • Panorama Necto 14 has the best of data discovery and enterprise BI with a unified web-based UI

Additionally it supports an infographic display for information review which is unlike most of its competitors.

Contextual discovery is accomplished by Panorama’s unique Automated Intelligence Driving Engine (AIDEN). AIDEN learns and understands users’ behavior and automatically supplies business users with data and insights contextually. The system quickly pinpoints issues from volumes of data (using Necto’s One Click Insights) and then automatically identifies the causes of these issues (using Necto’s Cause and Effect). These automated capabilities eliminate the need for users understand BI modeling and technology and allows them to focus on understanding their business and furthering their business goals.
  • One click insights to quickly pinpoint trends and challenges from volumes of data
  • Automatically identify the root cause of a problem using cause and effect
  • Panorama Necto tracks the interests of users and how they interact with data
  • Support for non Microsoft Platform and Tools
  • Integration with all data connectors
  • Non English language support
Panorama Necto is well suited for companies having Microsoft Technologies and tools to bring all the data, ETL, and reporting in one place.

I am evaluating different BI tools for our client's finance departments as currently they report most of the things in access without any graphics representation. They want us to evaluate different tools for their current needs of management reporting. As data becomes a power to emerging market leaders, in the same way client requires a tool with business user capabilities.
My focus is to suggest to my client, a BI tool with powerful end user functionality, business language processing and vibrant dashboards to display trending data.
  • Vivid Infographics - provides user a lot of flexibility to display variations/trends in data
  • Heterogeneous Sources - multiple source type support makes it more adaptable
  • Social Blink - collaborative decision by a group within a BI tool, can make the internal process really fast
  • Human Language - Business language processing is the latest in market query technology and it makes Necto easy to use
  • Big Data analysis performance
  • Technical Documentaion
If the requirement is, to display dashboards for portfolio or sales report, Necto can provide support/eye-catchers but in case of huge dataset processing, we must first contact the vendor for more information about scaling and sizing.

We are performing an assessment for our customer where we are looking for a tool that has great infographics and works better on mobile platforms and provides capabilities so an end-user can develop the reports by himself and is easy to handle in terms of administration. In that activity, we have recently assessed Panorama Necto and it has all such features - except administration wise we are a bit concerned.
  • Custom infographics can help in re-defining the term WYSWYG to whichever way you want to see you can develop it.
  • Mobile platform support.
  • Recommendation engine.
  • I believe Panorama Necto is a bit slow in processing.
  • Scripting is required in terms of administration while setting up third party authentication.
  • There is no knowledge sharing blogs available that ar free of cost.
1. How does it behave on mobile platforms?
2. How are the infographics
3. How does it handle large queries?
4. Administration?
5. Is the knowledge base or support available on blogs rather than having to go for paid service from company itself?

We are currently using this powerful infographic tool for showing KPIs and sales figures across different departments. Our organization uses trading dashboards and stock management data is graphically displayed using Panorama Necto. Due to its highly infographic and collaborative capability, Panorama Necto becomes the user's first preference. It is more capable of self service and hence ensures cost reduction and maintenance.
  • Highly infographic tool with plenty of options to select from charts or map. Seamless collaboration capability and support for iOS, Android and windows makes it a very powerful new age self service BI tool
  • It's exception error handling and conditional notification feature make the tool unique compared to others. This feature is not easily available in any other self service BI tools.
  • Impressive performance and reasonable cost makes it 1st choice for any business.
  • Self service BI offloads the need to maintain complex data-models and complex reports to answer business question. Users, data analysts are more inclined to creating their own dashboards, the way they want.
  • 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.
How efficient is the tool for error handling capabilities? - In this case Panorama Necto has a unique feature of exceptional error handling capability and conditional error alerts that can be sent to stakeholders via email.

An important question to ask while selecting any BI tool is, how good is the support? Panorama Necto has a group of highly knowledgeable and responsible support team members. The online video tutorials are very helpful and it's easy to learn this tool. This tool is very cost effective.

I have been evaluating tools within our organization to be suggested to different clients which are less technical and more business user oriented for fast first hand analytics. I came across one such tool with the name Necto.

I was thrilled with the capabilities of astonishingly easy to build and simplified, modern and in-cell infographics that can be used by just right clicking on the attributes. Another feature that I think stood out in this tool is of it being suggestive which leads to automated analysis and recommendations. I also observed that it uses crowdsourcing to recommend workboards. This tool is also collaborative in the decision making experience wherein one can directly connect with the associates within the enterprise from within the tool.
  • Quick reporting without need of technical expertise.
  • Quick connection to multiple data sources and data integration.
  • Quick Answers.
  • Quick collaboration.
  • Performance in case of huge datasets needs to be further analysed.
  • A good application for basic analysts but more advanced features need to be released by the vendor for power users in coming versions.
  • Cost of implementing multiple analytical tools for different sect of users should be considered.
  • Technical documentation needs to be evolved with time.
Please do go through the demo version of Panorama Necto and I am sure you will be impressed.

Panorama Necto helped me with creating reports and infographics which was a really helpful when we were making a business decision. The collaborative features are impressive. We tried it without downloading or installing on our computer. The workboard layouts that we build for desktop remain same when we use it from a tablet device. You can use the same dashboard everywhere. The usability is very [easy] for end users.
  • Very powerful tool for profitable business decisions. It's recommendation engine has many options of query and analysis reporting.
  • You can visually present any complex information from any data source on any device. The system suggests the best analytical reports on relevant information based on user interests.
  • One single web interface with no unwanted guests.
  • Less online community support.
  • Less provision in report distribution among non portal users.
It can only be used in the English language. Reports and infographics need multi language support. They need to increase the number of relevant workboard layouts. The personalized dashboard development is very user friendly. Their support needs to add more tutorials on how to use those features. Finding relevant people feature works like a helpful app during any collaboration. Adding relevant people on a discussion is easy and you can get a fast problem solving result from it. Necto 15 is a new age application compared to a "traditional" business intelligence tool. One-click insight in interactive infographics with components like maps and charts make business decisions faster.

  • Customize user console
Panorama Necto's seamless collaboration was the foremost differentiator.

Our company has a data warehouse and a few OLAP cubes built on top of it. It was first built three years ago and the new features are added to it based on the end user requirements. Now we are looking for the best front-end tools for our business users. The goal is to get the load off the IT team and provide the business users with the tool for self service BI. We have been evaluating a couple of the solutions present on the market and found Necto very innovative with useful features.
  • Ability to collaborate with other users by sharing content, starting discussions, subscribing to users, searching for the relevant content.
  • Mobile application is available for iOS, Android and Windows RT and users have the same experience on any device. This is great for the executives who travel a lot and are often in the meetings.
  • Great visualization capabilities, especially infographics which represent a unique way to easily present the trends in data.
  • Needs more support for predictive and forecast analysis.
  • Needs more data transformation support
  • Does not support multiple languages.
It's reach visualization capability and ability to create all kinds of charts makes it a great front-end reporting and analysis tool. Panorama Necto is convenient for self-service and collaboration between colleagues. Reporting customization features are limited to some extent, which might be a problem for advanced users. Also, scheduling reports and sending them as an email attachment is not simple.
