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."
"Geographic hierarchy and the ability to connect with SAP sources, such as CRM, ERP, and BW."
"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."
"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."
"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."
"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 solution offers very good reporting."
"The solution helps users create dashboards and analyze data without relying on IT or product teams."
"The solution has a lot of customization when comparing to Microsoft BI."
"The data blending capabilities is a huge factor for our team."
"I like the calculation feature. I would not say it's such a good feature in Tableau, but if you have the knowledge, you can make that feature visible to everyone. It's not a feature that we can drag and drop and get the information. But whatever the data, whatever the calculation, I'm able to do. It's basically the knowledge base. Whatever knowledge I have, I can make that information public and publish it for management."
"It's very easy to visualize data with this product. The visualization maps of and frames that we have been able to cross-reference has been excellent."
"The most valuable features are data discovery and fine visualizations."
"The most valuable feature is the richness of its visualization and from a self-service standpoint, the ease of use."
"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"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 uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
"It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."
"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."
"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."
"I think Tableau could be improved with cheaper or more flexible licensing, though this is a generic improvement and applies for any product. It would be better if they had more flexible payment and licensing plans so that they could suit small- and mid-sized organizations."
"In the cloud sometimes the performance is a little bit slow."
"The customization in the front end is a bit difficult."
"Tableau has so many functions, so sometimes it's hard to find the right solution quickly. I have to search multiple menu bars to find the right command."
"The product needs to allow for better ways to drill down more effectively on the information at hand."
"I would like them to include the Italian language, as I can see there are other foreign language in the product."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The performance could be better."
