Read full review Infographics derived from specific data sources appears to be well suited for development using Lumira. The development of executive level dashboards was less appropriate from my perspective. The software does not provide sufficient demonstration or samples for the users to learn from in my opinion.
Read full review Pros It is relatively easy to manipulate the time period in which you want to see your report. This is important for our business because we are constantly analyzing sales month over month, quarter over quarter, and year over year. RJ makes it easy to toggle between these time ranges on the same report. The visualizers available for reports are what you would expect out of a product like this. You have the ability to view your results in tables and a multitude of charts. The ability to customize dashboards and rearrange reports quickly is great and intuitive! Read full review SAP has built in features you would expect from a data visualization package, like easy import from other SAP systems. SAP has most of the typical charts that you would expect in order to visualize your data. SAP allows you to have multiple charts on one visualization for your data. Read full review Cons Educational videos and tutorials must be more simpler and more understandable language with subtitles There should be the ability to select graphic diagrams with different shapes and graphs The basic features of the Essential Paln can be increased with the current price so that startup companies can better use the features of this platform. Read full review Even though the process of creating visualizations of data is now greatly improved, it could still be a lot better as users become accustomed to this kind of tool and bring forward edge cases the developers did not anticipate. It would be awesome to have a cross platform tool that works on more than just Windows. Some options for specific graphs feel limiting. Read full review Usability In addition to its features, it has made the
Magento Commerce platform much better, more functional, and smarter, and through
Magento BI dashboard they know very well what reports have been sent and all our business tools are summarized in one business platform. The ability to share report results is very popular and useful, and you can share content with anyone anywhere in the world.
Read full review SAP Lumira is very good self service analytical tool with powerful capabilities. However need to look into other SAP products in BI space, like SAP SAC. SAP Lumira is more used for custom and complex analytical need in business intelligence area. Also SAP Lumira is going out of maintenance in coming future replaced by SAP SAC.
Read full review Reliability and Availability Lumira is a desktop application runs in its own JVM. It installs its own java runtime libraries to avoid any core java version conflicts. The availability of the application is completely relies on individual machine hardware configuration. On a decent desktop, it performs well and always launches in either 32 or 64 bit environment based on the hosts system's OS

It integrates well in the SAP BI suite of products and the overall experience is positive.
Read full review In-Person Training We did not take in-person training
Read full review Online Training Most of the user guides are pretty comprehensive and very easy to understand. The product itself is designed to be self-serve tool, did not need much of the end-user training. Most of the training we had is to how to read the data, how to explore the data, how to acquire the data etc.
Read full review Implementation Rating Installing the desktop software on end-user machines is always challenging. The machine specifications are the biggest factor when running Lumira and be able to handle large datasets during data exploration. This often demands beefy machines at least for power-users. Although Lumira software licensing is not a big problem but managing partner's extensions and keeping track of their individual licenses may be an issue. If there is a way to bundle the more popular extensions such as vSQL or vOLAP should be bundled in core product and offer them as part of Lumira license instead of a separate license which causer operational burden.
Read full review Alternatives Considered The advantage of
Magento BI is easier compatibility and adaptation with Adobe platforms and easier installation, configuration and customization with Mojto Store Builder and its various caskets, and I am very satisfied with it now and in every way I think it is a very good platform for integration in reporting.

SAP Analytics Cloud is considered to be better in aspects such as data connectivity or analytics, we decided to choose Lumira as it was easier to understand, learn and use. As our business is not really that big and does not require the inclusion of large amounts of data, Lumira was overall the safest and most comfortable option. Also, some members in our team had previous knowledge so it was easier to adapt

No easy installation can be done across the enterprise. no upgrade paths also available from SAP. They have so much of experience with desktop implementation, there it could be a controlled environment with a capital budget. These may be resolved in the upcoming releases
