Overall Satisfaction with Panorama Necto
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.
- Tableau,Qlik Sense,QlikView,Microsoft BI,SAS Visual Analytics
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.
