Firstly, SAP lumira is one amazing product that I would use daily for making data-driven decision. It has become easy for visualization. We use a lot of real-time data to process and make decisions in a short time frame. It's mostly used in the ops department. We were handling improvement projects where we had to reduce wait time and delivery time. With SAP lumira, we were able to see where the maximum time was spent in the whole process and how to improve upon it.
  • Recommended charts option will give you a quick overlook at your data
  • Customization of the charts and graphs as per our needs
  • The interface is user-friendly and there are videos to help you to navigate along in case you get lost
  • Easy visualization, more detailed reports, good for presentation
  • Manual data entry in LUMIRA
SAP lumira is well suited for medium and large enterprises but would not suit well for small and local businesses. It is well suited for organizations handling businesses across the world such as global trade, global sales, etc. It would not be suited for small businesses like hyper local logistics, small food shops or local food chains.

SAP Lumira enables our company to interpret massive amounts of internal data available and turn it into a visual report. This helps allow a sense of all data in various layouts and interpretations to better better business decisions and modifications. The software helps us do complete reporting and is an easy to use and understand platform with limitless options to present our data, sort and find it.
  • The software is good for charting data to present visualized information for current and upcoming ideas of business transactions and opportunities.
  • Data sorting and charting for use with SAP and can be used by users to support data and visualize what is being highlighted.
  • Value wise Lumira is a very simple and straightforward tool to use and is user friendly.
  • There isn't a current way to publish information into the cloud.
  • Limited data narrowing or crunching versus MS Office
Lumira is a powerful visualization tool that is good for presenting information and data to users for reporting and analyzing critical data. This has been a useful tool for our business in comparing and contrasting data from various projects to determine acquisitions and project opportunities.

SAP Lumira, a software to visualize your large data and allows users to explore data deep down. It helps to understand the data requirement, what needs to be done to grow your company. It is basically a BI tool designed for small or large companies. It can be used for accounting, reporting, make graphs and charts. Easy to load data and create graphs.
  • Easy to load data and use it. Sometimes we need technical help to create graphs but mostly it is easy once you learn.
  • Support numerous kind of data source.
  • Value for money.
  • Need a proper training to use.
  • Need to enhance integration with MS Excel.
  • Limited functionality.
The tool is great, easy to scale and is on budget to buy. It supports a large number of graphs to represent your report and make a presentation for clients. It uses numerous data sources which can be used. It needs to improve, there are a lot of features which other software provides such as maps, scheduling, formatting.

We have used Lumira in several projects, one of them was for analysis and creation of ad/hoc reports, and visualizing the results of a big/data analytical project. Another opportunity when we effectively used Lumira was analysis of random incidents, where a measurement was several measurement points (technical PCs with sensors, database and application server logs). When searching for patterns and irregularities, Lumira helped us to quickly visualize outages, indicating where to further search for the problem. Seeing performance of all components on a common time-scale is very helpful for quick orientation on when and where the irregularity happens. Considering into account several millions of rows in each log, Lumira did a good job. It is advisable though to use a really quick PC with and SSD hard drive, and save the work frequently.
  • Import of semi-structured data, logs.
  • Filtering.
  • Quick transformation of views from one type of graph to another.
  • Export of results as a report.
  • It is quick.
  • We need OFFLINE viewing of data, to be able to save the reports to and iPad in HTML5 or similar format, and be able to go through the graphs with some level of interaction. I know it exports stories ... this is something more advanced.
  • Conversion to time is not sufficient, it comprises only seconds, in the IT world mostly we work with milliseconds. Not a big deal, but can be pre-built.
  • In case something is impossible to visualize, it simply says: "unable to show more than 10 000 values or similar". What about providing some suggestions on how to limit the scope?
  • What about preparing some templates for analysis of e.g. IT logs, supply chain with some predefined reports, sourcing tasks, location based reports .... some simple building blocks, that can be further tailored.
  • Currently working with SAP Lumira Discovery and the application keeps crashing by certain data sets and reports.
  • Not very stable lately, it is a good idea to save regularly work in progress, not to lose the changes in case of a crash.
It is well suited for:
  • A quick view on logs (or any other data) relating to time scale.
  • A quick view on new data.
  • For viewing and experimenting with HANA results.
Less appropriate (or not appropriate at all):
  • When we need to visualize sequences with start/stop e.g. it could visualize workflows, loops, or waiting times between steps.
  • Also it can not merge several data sources in one (or the functions are hidden somewhere?)

In our MIS program, students use a number of tools to learn about enterprise systems, ERP, Data Warehouses, and analytics. The student use at least three Data visualization programs so they can compare and judge which one they like and why. They start with Lumira and other SAP programs like BeX and WebI. These are cumbersome to use and not as fully developed as other software/systems they will use. They run their businesses using SAP software and then extract the data to visualize it, from procurement to inventory to sell to financial statement data.
  • 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.
  • SAP is not as intuitive as other visualization software and you have to find an expert to show you how to do some of the simplest things.
  • SAP is still working on the package so it is in constant change, and it makes 'learning' the software more difficult than it needs to be.
  • SAP keeps renaming, re-merging, un-merging its systems so the 'Roadmap' they are so famous for is only valid for about 6 months!
It is suited for an organization that is totally invested in SAP already and does not want to spend more money for a visualization system that will more meet their needs. A complete SAP shop would be the only time I would recommend it.

We use it to highlight KPI's, trends in Sales and Logistics trade lanes. We also use SAP Lumira dashboards for deals to identify areas in Sales, that the organization needs to focus on to be more effective, like Churn based customer reporting. We use Lumira to connect directly to BW queries on BW4HANA.
  • Excelled connectivity to all SAP products like BW, HANA as well as to SAP's trademark SAP BO Universes.
  • Cost effective and can be implemented with little technical effort. It is part of SAP Analytics enterprise license by SAP.
  • Dashboards and applications are saved in BI launchpad I self so all security developed in SAP BI can be reused.
  • Lumira could provide better charts
  • Visualization in-memory engine must be improved
  • Map analysis of Lumira needs significant upgrades to compete with market leaders like Tableau.
SAP Lumira is not suited for doing big data analysis. it is very useful for small and medium data sets.

I have implemented this tool across different organizations and trained users in using Lumira's visualization capabilities.It addresses inventory, production and sales problems.
  • Visualization
  • alter data structures and correlations
  • expanding the age reports involved in monthly reviews
  • Should have Excel-like pivot table drill down features
  • Integration with MS excel needs to enhance for importing data
  • Output formats are bit rigid
  • Limited functionality to manipulate data before reporting
When working with Lumira, we noticed that there are not that many charts available to do any statistical analysis. for example No Control charts, Histogram, Gantt chart, Highlight Table. Hope Lumira can incorporate some of these features in later versions.

We recommend the best tool for each customer, be it Power BI, Tableau or SAP Lumira. It depends on what kind of data source they have, available licences etc.
  • Working with files (CSV, Excel).
  • Ease of use, easy to start.
  • Quick start videos are really helpful.
  • Connecting to Micrsoft SQL Server requires JDBC drivers and add many steps.
  • A cheaper web portal should be available.
[It's well suited] if the customer is already using SAP server products or most the data is available in files. It is less of a good fit if the customer uses Microsoft databases.

Currently I am working as SAP Functional Consultant and as a part of my job role I do implementation of SAP Lumira at our client location.
  • First advantage is that you can install SQL Drivers and further connect SQL with Lumira. This will help to use SQL query in order to import data into Lumira Directly.
  • Advance Graphs are readily available for user, which can be used easily with a handsome knowledge of Statistics.
  • You can also create different visualization and altogether put them along with each other. This will be created as a Story in Lumira which becomes a Presentation for the user.
  • SAP Lumira provides a stage to connect to your SQL database. Customers have frequently asked us a question that why SQL query already saved in SAP Product such SAP B1 is not available in Lumira to be selected. That means customer wants to link SQL saved queries of SAP B1 with Lumira, but not manually to be copied and paste.
  • Also the queries created and used in Lumira don't get saved, not if the user wants to run the same query for another time period. He needs to again do manual copy paste and create the same story, but cannot update the saved one.
  • Also users look for some pre-designed examples readily available with Lumira Installation for their own reference.
It's quite useful for Internal reporting, Management reporting and Head office Reporting.

SAP BusinessObjects Lumira is being used in our creative department to develop infographics.
  • Customer support
  • Customizable
  • Variety of visualizations
  • User interface (rather complex and at times, hard to follow)
  • Sharing options - would love to be able to export visualizations to other formats besides PDF
  • Data entry / editing within the program
Well suited: To present large data sets where little visual design is necessary
Less appropriate: Visually-driven, highly customized infographics

It is being used by myself along with CMO. I'm involved in business development activities apart from my Engineering based commitments.
We use it for visualization and analysis of our company's business, there by helping in decision making.
As we primarily work on Machine learning and data analytics application, it helps in that regard as well.
  • Dashboard creation is very easy and does not require much coding expertise.
  • Very easy to use and user friendly
  • Excellent data analytics tool bundled with awesome visualization features
  • Continuous updates with significant improvements to the tool
  • The flexibility in sharing Lumira output lags behind its competitors
  • No option to retrieve data directly from a website using OData service (URL)
  • Variable manipulation is not allowed much unlike Tableau
Not for data scientists, but more for traditional data miners.

Since I am involved with academia at a large research university, SAP Lumira turned out to be an excellent platform for providing visual insights to generic Excel data. In fact, we are encouraging our students to utilize this software for extracting relevant information from large sets of data.
  • This software is absolutely amazing because it is very easy to navigate, and the results are quite informative as they provide visual insights to generic databases.
  • I used it to create multiple visual aids depicting the countries of origin of our graduate students, which helped us evaluate the effectiveness of international recruiting efforts.
  • Finally, I utilized Lumira to prepare informative visual deliverable materials in order to illustrate the grade distribution among minority students.
  • I wish the ZIP code mapping was incorporated in Lumira.
As an average academia user, I find Lumira extremely helpful for preparing valuable visual arguments as persuasive evidence in support of business decisions. I can also see how it could be beneficial for small and medium-sized business entities in assessing their results and attainment of budgeting objectives.

The principal business problems that we solved with SAP BusinessObjects Lumira was data visualization and BI analytics for finance in industry.
I'm computer engineer and I think this program helped me a lot to improve my skills In BI, data mining, etc. This programs helps a lot to solve the problems.
  • Easy to create dashboards without coding
  • Allows [you to] select Excel, delimited, HANA, SQL, Oracle, column date, number format, etc.
  • Can apply different filters to different visualizations, however compositions need to be changed.
  • Sharing features like publishing to team, BI platform and before publishing giving rights like controlling whether the receiver is only to view or edit to collaborate.
  • Make it more easy to use.
  • Creating custom measure is a bit time consuming.
  • No option to zoom in visualization room.
SAP BusinessObjects Lumira is more useful than another solution.

It was mainly used by independent consultant to quickly produce some report, mainly used for some data-crunching.
  • Beautiful visualization (including heatmap that can be hard to procude with other tools).
  • It is very easy to prepare data for consumption.
  • In general, ease to use.
  • Sometime we would like to have more flexibility on the reporting capabilities.
  • Lack of scripting capabilities. We would like to create some custom plugin / visualization that our collaborators might re-use.
Lumira is well suited when you want to do some quick data crunching and produce reports that you Excel cannot handle (for example creating a meaningful heatmap).

We used SAP Lumira as the front-end reporting solution for a data warehouse built to support alumni development and advancement at a small Nova Scotia University. It addresses the problem of using Excel for reporting, when a much more flexible and visual solution is available.
  • I love how Lumira allows connections to many leading industry OLE databases and data marts. It provides a much simpler way of performing reporting straight from the data source, opposed to connecting to a flat file or spreadsheet.
  • The geo-overlaying and GIS capabilities of Lumira impressed me quite a bit. I thoroughly enjoyed playing around with the maps, and it was very useful for making insights into trends when the data was geodriven.
  • The UI made for an incredibly easy learning experience. Any business end user can use this tool, with little to no assistance from IT.
  • A little less ambiguity about certain functions may help. Perhaps when you hover over a button there could be a little info note that explains what the function does.
  • Arranging the dashboards and labels with more independence would be nice!
Very well suited anywhere from basic reporting for small businesses to advanced analytics used by departments in major enterprises. For very small data sets, Excel or something may work better - but if comfortable with Lumira it works great.

SAP BOBJ Lumira is being used enterprise wide.It is being used by the management for the most part.

The limitation we have with Lumira is that not all the features are available when we integrate in with SAP BW.

Microsoft Excel users are thrilled to have it as an input source.

  • Lumira does very well with MS excel as input. Ease of use and additional features are impressive.
  • ESRI map integration is one of the biggest strength.
  • Integration with HANA and HADOOP is a big plus.
  • Drill down feature apart from geo hierarchies will be much appreciated
  • Integration with SAP BW can be improved greatly.
  • Broadcasting storyboards with refresh capability is constantly being asked for in our organization.

It is not well suited for analysts who deals with big datasets.

Well suited for reports from different sources.

Well suited for management level reporting for a quick analysis.

We are SAP PartnerEdge partners. We develop data and visual extensions to extend the functionality of out-of-the box functionality. Currently we offer vSQL and vOLAP data access extensions. Both vSQL and vOLAP provide a visual interface to generate queries without having to know the SQL syntax.
  • Data access to disparate data sources.
  • Data mashup.
  • Ability to explore the data on desktop and schedule the scenarios on the server side to refresh the data real-time.
  • Trusted data.
  • Extensive mobile device support.
  • Add wow factors to data visualizations.
  • Performance improvements.
  • Native data acquisition capabilities.
  • More SDK support to extend it.
If the customer has a lot of SAP assets both transnational or historical data, connecting to SAP systems to explore the data may be much easier. Also the trusted data infrastructure that SAP offers may be crucial to many customers.

SAP Lumira is a simple tool for data visualizations yet very powerful. I used it for data analysis( personal use). It was used to find the trends for sales in the oil industry. SAP Lumira was used to create a detailed overview of the data along with presentations. The overview of the data helped in quicker decisions and easy comparisons.
  • SAP Lumira has very easy to use interface which makes it very easy to use and it is a big plus. Also, the tools for data alteration are appropriately placed and you need not drill down for simple options.
  • Complete overview of the data on the PREPARE tab provides you with a very good overview of the data.
  • Dashboards can be easily created.
  • Dashboards can be easily created which are simple yet attaractive.
  • Creating custom measures in SAP Lumira can be made a little more user-friendly.
  • Automatically created measures by SAP Lumira can be made more appropriate.
  • More sample report types can be added.
SAP Lumira is most fitted for the scenarios where extraction of information has to be done from raw Excel data. This tool can be used to create a nice and crisp overview, and graphs and thus helps in easy comparison of the raw data. It thus also helps in making quicker decisions.

I used Lumira to visually analyse large volumes of plant originated data and manipulate it to improve the ease of analysis. I was evaluating it as an option for inclusion in a product that would be deployed to our end user customers.
  • It's good as a data visualisation and investigation tool.
  • Very simple and intuitive to use.
  • It is far better than using products like Microsoft Excel for this purpose.
  • There are constraints on the mechanisms used to import the data. For example, I was importing data from a .CSV file containing separate numeric and text representations of the date associated with the other data in the row. Lumira was unable to directly interpret these data as time & date fields without splitting the text information into individual columns.
  • The data manipulation functionality for imported data could be improved, particularly the ability to create sub-columns derived from data already in the source table
It is very good for rapid prototyping of data visualisations with real data. The ability to export the prototypes to the Lumira server makes it easy to deploy them once you are happy with the prototype.

I used SAP Lumira for a class project in one of my MBA courses. SAP Lumira was really easy to use and I would recommend for projects outside of my MBA class. As part of my class project we had to analyze data using various analytical tools and this was by far my favorite.
  • Strengths are ease of use and no prior experience is necessary.
  • Supports various data extensions such as Excel, CSV, etc.
  • Some features were missing that I wanted.
  • Filtering was not so easy.
It is well suited for beginners.

We are testing SAP Lumira as a vehicle for the Visual Crossing mapping plug-in. We are comparing it to other BI products such as MicroStrategy.
  • Lumira is easy to install and configure.
  • The extension technology works well, and it is easy to add new visualizations.
  • Lumira's joining capability seems weak, but perhaps that is because I am used to MicroStrategy which is very strong in this department.
  • Lumira can be unstable and crash from time to time.
  • Lumira's performance sometimes feels slow.
SAP Lumira is best suited for people who are looking for an easy-to-configure analysis tool that does beyond office basic such as Microsoft Excel.

We are just starting but Lumira is giving real time information in a much easier way than ever before. We can do it ourselves without having to wait for a report to be built.
  • Self service reporting made easy. This is a fact and not just a slogan. We can get answers and truly follow the data down to the root cause in a manageable way.
  • Quick. The reports are very quick to run.
  • Great opportunities to slice and dice and get real insight that normally would have taken lots of work in Excel.
  • Standard views should always have the description of objects as well. It is great to have the customer number but without the customer description it is harder to get all the value. It feels like we stopped when we could have gone the extra mile.
  • Publishing a link to a SharePoint or other place where users can then easily access the data instead of first having to log into Lumira.
  • % Share functionality.
  • For quick and dirty query access it is a great tool.
  • For more formatted reporting it is not the best.
  • For quick answers and "throw away" queries it is fantastic.

We've started using Lumira to harmonize presentation and methods of delivering reports, data exploration tools, and ad-hoc visualizations. This will be used by a team of analysts supporting an entire CPG organization.
  • You can combine and seamlessly present inputs from flat files, Excel, SQL, BI, and other sources.
  • I didn't take a class or read a tutorial, and had a quality, working visualization in a couple hours!
  • It would be wonderful if this tool could publish to a native web format.
