We performed a comparison between SAP Lumira and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."
"Beautiful visualizations."
"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."
"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the geographic data analysis."
"One of the most valuable features is that the solution allows users to build interactive dashboards. This allows the end user to modify the criteria or the filtering if need be. As far as for my personal use as a QA Engineer, I really value how extensive their API document support has been."
"It is easy to use, and it can handle a large amount of data."
"It's very easy to use and users don't need any IT support to access it as the information is right there."
"Its visualizations are good, and its features make the development process a little less time-consuming. It has an in-memory extract feature that allows us to extract data and keep it on the server, and then our users can use it quickly."
"I love the customization skills that Tableau has, it is not restricted to what is built-in already."
"This solution has improved insights into quantitative data."
"The most valuable features are the visualizations, the way they show the combination charts."
"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."
"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."
"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"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 the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"The customization requires a lot of effort and should be simplified. The performance could be better."
"In the cloud sometimes the performance is a little bit slow."
"When I've done presentations in the past, I've had issues with uploading the cartography."
"The solution could use more features in data analytics."
"There could be improvements on the mobile application, it is lacking features."
"An area needing improvement involves the complexity of the product should you need to alter a lot of parameters. If you have technical servers, much interface, different providers and more serious processes, that will be time consuming."
"Improvements in schema security and row/column security need to be made."
"The solution does have scalability issues."
