Reliable performance enhances operations with good technical support

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

"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."

"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."

"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."

"Beautiful visualizations."

"SAP Lumira is the best system in the world, at least in my opinion. I like that it's a stable system and that many people in my company have development experience in SAP Lumira. The solution keeps on improving and has excellent support."

"Geographic hierarchy and the ability to connect with SAP sources, such as CRM, ERP, and BW."

"The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."

"The most valuable features of SAP Lumira are the dashboards, geographical elements, and graph filtering, and the usage is similar to a website which makes it easy to use."

"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."

Cons

"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."

"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."

"SAP Lumira can improve if they game more capability to the end user to prepare dashboards because it's more of an IT task to create them. In Tableau, we can drag, drop, and create. However, in SAP Lumira, we need a designer and a separate KT to be able to do it well."

"It needs an easier printing feature."

"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."

"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."

"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."

"It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."

"I'm not a fan of using SAP Lumira 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 Lumira is a complex system to learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"In terms of cost, SAP Lumira is less affordable."

"PowerBI is way more capable at a much better price point: $10 per user without all the associated setup costs."
