Not very useful with self analytics

Pros

Since it's an SAP product, the integration with SAP ECC is easy and installation is simple.

Cons

The tool is not very user friendly and not very useful for promoting self-service analytics

Reasons for choosing SAP Lumira

Since the company runs on SAP, this tool was chosen. But this is not very useful for self service analytics

Mostly used it with SAP HANA to connect and download data from there and all went well when publishing it to other SAP environments (Lumira Cloud and SAP Streamwork)

Pros

A good tool of SAP to create visual reports for management, can be able to take the data from Excel, SAP HANA or some other sources. Once you have a good setup of datasets, the result gets amazing.

Cons

Creating a new dataset is complicated, not so easy and fast to create the final report. Takes time to categorize the fields (or columns in Excel). Need a very large screen to see all, cannot work on small laptop screen.

At the beginning, SAP Lumira was a bit "half-baked", some core features were missing and that's why it did not had a good start in terms of adoption. But the dev teams have done a lot to improve the product both in terms of performance and functionalities. Now the product can perfectly compete with Tableau or so. I do even think that the tool is better than Tableau or Power BI for people looking for a SIMPLE, self-service BI tool, because it is way easier to use. Less options, but straight to the point for meaningful analysis report creation in no time.

Pros

The ease of use. Connecting to different data sources is easy, and plotting these data on charts is done by one drag and drop. You can adjust the component of your reports by freely resizing them, the UI is simple and clear to understand. The possibility to share the reports to the SAP BI ecosystem, that mostly serves all the collaborators of a company, is also a big plus.

Cons

The performance might be a bit "meh" if your laptop is not new and powerful enough. Laptop from 2014, old core and 4Go of RAM might suffer a bit, especially if you try to handle hundreds of thousands of data.

Once You understand the functionality its good to use. But you need to spend hours to learn it. Within same license cost other tools are available in the market.

Pros

Good tool for decision making. Organizes the data well then put into the charts graphs. Good tool to analyze the data quickly. License price is not that high. It can be easily collaborated with SAP data. Can be used well to forecast.

Cons

Need to spend hours to understand the functionality. Still can have improved dashboards. Need to be more user friendly.Not available for MAC users.

SAP has been used by our company for years, so we don’t have much experience with other systems. I will say though it’s a good central repository for information.

Pros

If you know the commands, it’s an easy to navigate system. I appreciate the amount of things you can do in one system including forecasting sales, resource planning and scheduling.

Cons

There are so many commands and when an error arises in the system, it’s hard to know what the error is for and how to resolve.

The pricing and economic feasibility makes it a useful tool

Pros

The ability to interpret, display and organize large data sets into neatly and precise charts/graphs/tables which help me make a better analysis of data and hence enable me to make much more well thought out prudent business decisions. Sap lumira allows me to physically visualize information and notice business trends.

Cons

Requires supervised training to adapt to and learn which takes up effort Still needs more user friendly User Interface.

I have been working on Business Objects since many years and past 2 years we started using Lumira as an additional visualization tool for our clients. Even though we have business Objects Web Intelligence tool, we need one such visualization tool, to quickly analyze the data and find the insights in the data, unlike Enterprise reporting. Also, if the client is already using BO from years, it easy to fit this visualization tool rather than others like Tableau.

Pros

SAP Lumira is very good visualization tool, allowing to connect to SAP HANA, SAP BW, Universe and other sources. It have lot of automation build into, to connect with sources, prepare the data and quickly prepare the different types of visuals. It has lot of built in functions which makes calculation very easy but at the same time, representation of the information into the charts, graphs and maps makes it more intuitive. SAP Lumira is a tool which can mastered easily and start using it day one. It is like plug and play. It has dashboard to put the visuals.

Cons

Marking has to be increased to compete with Tableau. The look & feel is not as good as Tableau so there is a room for improvement. Tableau to can connect to literally everything but Lumira has limitation. Also, compatibility between BO other reporting tools and Lumira has to be increased further.
