An easy scalable, highly stable and user-friendly tool useful for operational reporting

It is an on-premises solution, so you just need to install it and continuously keep clicking on the next option until the installation is done, making it not so tough. Things work out pretty well as long as the various connections needed for the installation are managed properly. The solution is deployed on-premises. For deployment, it takes two to three hours maximum for any kind of new upgrade version. Two or three engineers are required for the employment process because sometimes you need to take the backup, for which you might have to involve the infra team. In terms of application, we are the only ones who can handle the deployments.

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 of the solution are its stability and user-friendliness, making it easy to manage."

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

Cons

"The product lacks the ability to manage universal connectivity, so it needs to be made better for users."

"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."

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

"It needs an easier printing feature."

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

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing falls on the spectrum's cheaper side, excluding its licensing cost. The product's pricing is good compared to other tools in the market. My company makes payments towards the licensing costs of the product on a yearly basis."

"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."
