Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
1. "Panorama9". PC Magazine. 2012-05-31. Archived from the original on 2021-08-29. Retrieved 2021-08-29.
  The review notes that the pros are:
  1. One agent on one computer gathers all data from all other machines in the network.
  2. Comprehensive.
  3. Tremendous amount of data organized in a very intuitive way.
  The review notes that the cons are:
  1. Data collection tedious without Active Directory integration.
  2. Not all of the dashboard refreshes automatically.
  3. No Mac support.
  4. Limited policy engine.
  The review notes: "One disappointment: the policies were not customizable. There doesn't seem to be a way to create more complex policies or to define new requirements. In fact, this entire screen felt overly simplistic. Panorama9 had a list of rules, such as removable storage devices, strong logon passwords, and installing p2p applications. All I could do was turn the rules on or off. If they were on, then Panorama9 would alert me when a machine violated the rule. There didn't seem to be a way to add any new rules."
2. Wallen, Jack (2012-05-04). "Let Panorama9 monitor your Windows machines and network". TechRepublic. Archived from the original on 2021-08-29. Retrieved 2021-08-29.
  The review notes: "One of the more unique features of Panorama9 is the Live Feed. To get there, go to the dashboard of one of the machines and then click the Live Feed tab (Figure C); you will see a real-time feed of any issue that arises on that particular machine. This could be a great help in troubleshooting an issue on either a server or a desktop."
3. Braga, Matthew (2012-06-04). "Solving IT headaches with a monitoring dashboard in the cloud". Ars Technica. Archived from the original on 2021-08-29. Retrieved 2021-08-29.
  The article contains an interview with the company's CEO but has enough independent coverage to contribute to notability. The article notes: "The Copenhagen-based Panorama9 is billed as a comprehensive IT management system for small- and medium-sized businesses—the kind that probably can't support their own IT staff. You install the company's software on each of your Windows PCs (and in a few weeks, Macs too). The client lives in your System Tray, and almost immediately begins sending data back to the Panorama9 dashboard, which is accessible from nearly any modern browser."
4. Grant, Rebecca (2012-12-13). "Funding Daily: MMA". Reuters. Archived from the original on 2021-08-29. Retrieved 2021-08-29.
  The article notes: "Cloud-based IT management platform Panorama9 has raised $900K in seed financing from private investors in Denmark. The company offers a dashboard that small to medium businesses can use to monitor and control all IT operations in their network. The system offers real-time alerts of issues and security vulnerabilities, as well as support across multiple devices and operating systems. Panorama was founded in Copenhagen and was first active in Scandinavia. It entered the US market in April of 2012, and will use this financing to deepen its American presence, as well as explore potential partnerships."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Panorama9 to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Relisting comment: One more bold relist to consider Cunard's sources, if anyone wishes to contest them.

Keep thanks to the sources shared by Cunard above. Reuters and ArsTechnica especially are both trustworthy sources and establish notability in my opinion. NemesisAT (talk) 22:47, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
