The infographics feature is unique to Necto. However, they need better tutorials and community support.
The best feature I liked is the infographics which is great and it's best unique feature. It helps developers use existing infographics from the library or they can create their own and present to end users It's quite easy to create reports in Necto using the infographics feature. Collaboration…

It's stable, it keeps on improving and the technical support is excellent
I think a lot of users aren't having fun using SAP because it requires putting in a lot of information by keyboard directly because it requires some coding, so this is one area for improvement. From a user point of view, SAP is a complex system where you can learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly. In the next release of SAP, I want it to have a friendlier menu for its users.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Very powerful tool which supports almost all data sources automatically."
"I have recently started working on this tool, and being a novice to the analytic field, I feel quite comfortable with this tool even during my beginner sessions."
"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."
"Necto has multiple features similar to other BI tools but parameters keeping it as emerging leader are: 1.) Collaborative Analysis: groups of people can decide things on the go, it's awesome. 2.) Vibrant Infographics: even single cell attributes can be set for infographics, providing more flexibility to design workboards."
"Users can start context-based discussions, and include context and annotations, which are saved as part of the work board to add more depth and foster knowledge sharing."
"I recommend this for users who want to possess an excellent tool with lots of features and within budget."
"It provides great infographics."
"Interactive and eye-catchy graphs and widgets, real time conditional notifications on related KPIs to the users, exception handling capabilities, and the capability to connect to multiple data source systems make it a nice conglomeration for flexibility to the developer and an end user friendly tool."
"Within an hour or so, we had actually a better visualization of the data."
"The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."
"It seemed to be fairly user friendly."
"This product is amazing and changes how people think of the relationship between IT and businesses."
"This is a tool that gives more power to the user."
"Beautiful visualizations."
"It is a product that's easy to learn and understand, with the ability to create dynamic visualizations and various integration options including next-to real-time."
"It's very easy to import data and also to create formulas and so on, and it made creating charts, especially bubble charts, really easy and very powerful, helping me build impressive metrics for the team around surgery times, supplies used, and expense analysis."
 

Cons

"I feel scheduling is not that simple."
"There is need for improvement with report sharing and documentation."
"The user console is bit complicated when beginning to work with it."
"It is only able to be installed on Windows, and they should offer a Linux-based version as well."
"Large data-set analysis performance"
"Support for other languages should be provided."
"They have too many options in the graphs and when I asked the support to help me with that, they did not respond."
"Initially when one starts with the tool there are so many options on the console (it is a bit cluttered), one is a bit confused."
"The Cloud/Edge version of SAP Lumira still needs to be more user friendly."
"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
"SAP Lumira's scalability is very limited. Every time we have to involve IT if there is a change in the dashboard."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"There have been some issues; the product itself is going through the improvement stages and the newer versions seem to be more stable."
"It needs to have more complex and enriched chart functions."
"Don't waste your time. Lumira falls short of its competitors in this space both in capabilities and in ease of use."
"I did encounter issues with stability and performance. It really takes a long, long time, if you want to do analysis on viewed data."
