Overall Satisfaction with Panorama Necto

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
  • SAP Business Objects,lumira
We can visualize the data right away in Necto. Where as we have to create reports in SAP Business Objects to present it to the business user. The reports have to be scheduled at particular time to get the presentation.
We need to have additional SDK code for SAP Business Objects in order to generate PowerPoint ,generate a PDF, generate Word, and generate Excel to get the prompted values from Salesforce. I think with Necto we can easily visualize the data instead of writing huge SDK codes and many configuration files to be built with the BO.
With all the cool features available like : Infographics, web-based UI, measures and metrics and to monitor KPIs, Geo analytics and cool graphs that can be sent across to any user with ease and good social collaboration, I suggest that Necto has more to explore to visualize the data and present the data as required.
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.
