Connectivity with a SAP system is great--you can connect to it in 4 clicks. Having the BI platform is easier, as the IT team will do the major part of the job. It is also very easy to use an Excel sheet to include your relevant information in your reports.

We use the data sources provided. I do not have visibility on how hard was to connect. What I can explain is the experience when connecting to an Excel file, which is quite simple and it gives you the option to merge some data origins and make them work as one.

SAP Lumira supports a large number of data sources which can be used to generate your reports, graphs, charts etc. It is very easy to upload large data, you don't need your IT team for this. IT detects and delivers information as soon as data is entered. Gives real-time analytics so that you can check your company growth easily.

I don't have any background or experience in managing raw data technologies such as Postgre, SQL, Sharepoint, etc. Taking the benefits of those technologies and wrapping them in a tool that you can, for the most part, run as a self-sustaining entity separate from your IT department is a godsend! It means you only rarely or seldom have to invoke the power of the IT masters, and you can run your various data on your own.

1. SAP Lumira basically is in development so there may be a possibility of losing data.
2. Sometimes it is unable to show a large amount of data and shows error.
3. Conversion in graph sometimes takes more time then it should take.
4. No time response on new data.
5. Export/Import of excel makes it more useful to share and insert data.

Lumira is a simple ready to use visualizing and analytical tools, when dealing with millions of rows of ... anything. It is quick, comfortable and does 80% of what a consultant needs with 20% effort.

  • Except for some specifict types of server logs, we were able to import all sources.
  • Merging data - did not try much.
  • Modifications of data (addiing calculated dimensions or adding new columns as format conversion of other columns) works well.

SAP Lumira won't take efforts to quickly predict small range of data sets. But, it is not easy to work with multiple data sources, the outcome doesn't look good. Even merging the data needs the data expertise which I don't think the target users of SAP Lumira are familiar with. The real-time data visualization is quick if you have provided the data sources clearly.

In some cases, we would not have problem uploading certain data on SAP Lumira and get our results as we desired. In some other instance, we had to change a few data [points] on Excel before uploading it to Lumira so it would read it properly. It would be nice if the data range could be increased more than 10000 as we are dealing with data of more than 15000 per sheet.

Lastly, compiling data has never been so easy before and because of SAP Lumira, I can accomplish my tasks in an efficient manner.

While completely understandable...it does seem very focused on a SAP ecosystem. Its list of compatible data sources outside of the SAP world isn't all that large, however it supports the most important ones and exporting data to a supported format allowed me to do everything I needed to do.

The list of sources available to me to connect in SAP Lumira seemed basic. Compared to the other lists of sources that I have seen in competitive products it would seem that they went for the most commonly listed ones instead of an exhaustive list. I am sure more might come and the list will expand.
