Before I started to use it some colleague said android integration was a problem but did not experienced that ----- ### "An innovation\!\!" — 4.5/5 > **Shazin** | *14 April 2015* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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 ready 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 also gives a feature of it being collaborative in decision making experience wherein one can directly connect with the associates within the enterprise from within the tool. > > **Cons**: Performance in case of huge datasets needs to be further analyzed. A good application for basic analysts but more advanced features needs 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 documentaion needs to be evolved with time. ----- ### "“Nice and easy to use BI tool”" — 4.0/5 > **Debajit** | *29 July 2015* | Information Technology & Services > > **Pros**: The tool is very easy to use, with click you can import data and create the visualizations. The things like I most it supports variety of charts, I was quite bored with my previous BI tool which mostly support bar, line an pie chart. I can now create more meaningful charts radar, donought, pareoto, scatter, range, point, boxplot etc. Good geo analytics support, readily integrate with maps and plots the charts. Good in memory performance, return results with clicks. Relatively good performance > > **Cons**: More community support Publishing and scheduling is bit complicated The dashboard also looks bit complicated and loaded with loads with lots of gadgets at first look No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics > > We are using this tool for self service data discovery for quite some time. It also supports loads of info graphics which enrich dashboard’s visual appeal. The tool is also very easy to use, we got on premise training from Panorama, within days we were novice enough to play with the tool. The customer service is very responsive, they answers our queries. I saw lot of people complaining about lack of community forum, but they do have a forum which is quite active. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/2268/panorama?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/2268/panorama) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
