• 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.

• Viewer level license is quite limited. These users can't download data or even add filters on datasets. Something to keep in mind.
• Directly querying the underlying data warehouse will lead to increased usage. Not a big deal on something like Redshift, but your Snowflake consumption will increase, potentially by a lot.

Some features are very basic and sometimes you can't add your own SQL query for custom reports. For Macs and Blackberry users this application is not helpful. Non-languages are not supported in info-graphics. They need to improve their forecast analysis. Report sharing is limited among the portal users only

It provides all the features that are required and some that are not the basic requirements, but they represent a great additional capabilities, not available within the similar products

It has a clean and modern interface. However, it is not completely intuitive. I think it would be better and easier to navigate with more Windows style drop down menus and/or tabls. There is a significant learning curve, but that may be due in part to the technical nature of this type of software tool.

In comparison with Pentaho Business Analytics, Panorama Necto 14 is providing similar features where it is distinguished through its provision of a suggestive analytics feature. This is fairly unique to the Panorama Necto 14 software where it analyzes information from various data sources and recommends solutions based on historical review

I am not an expert in any of these, though from my brief exposure to Looker it felt like a steeper learning curve, more appropriate to companies with dedicated and skilled BI engineers, whereas Sigma (and Tableau, and Looker Studio) offer a quicker and more intuitive interface for smaller companies like ours without dedicated BI resources on staff.
