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."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."
"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."
"Easy to create graphs and visualizations."
"Partner support is very good."
"The product has the best features for analytical views and filters."
"It gives us a new dimension to the way that we analyse our data."
"Tableau will automatically show charts for the related data that I choose making it very easy to use."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible, our clients enjoy seeing the data on maps, and you do not need to be an expert in SQL to use it."
"From my perspective, it enables clients to better understand our data and make better decisions based on that information."
"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."
"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"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."
"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."
"When it comes to visualizations, Tableau has a limitation as compared to Power BI. It has a limited set of visualizations. Power BI has the entire marketplace, so you can connect and import many visualizations and use them, whereas Tableau has only 10 or 15 visualizations. There should be more visualizations, and there should also be data integration with more cloud providers."
"There's no mature ETL tool in Tableau, which is quite a negative for them."
"The tool's OpenAI integration was announced last year. However, it is late. Tableau is a good solution for end customers. However, there are some concerns regarding the stability and performance of its server architecture, including SaaS services. The server side appears unstable, and performance issues are noticeable, often accompanied by unclear error messages."
"The integration with other program languages, like Python, needs to be better."
"Small multiples (a.k.a. Trellis charts) are possible only through very hacky means. Update: Still remains a challenge."
"When there are millions of records, scaling up is quite difficult."
"We did have issues with Tableau 10.1 server with the brokers failing on heavy load but since moving to 10.2, then to 10.3, this issue seems to have been resolved and the environment is now quite stable."
"Creating empty extracts is not easy."
