Lumira as a Data Exploration tool

If you already have a SAP BI Suite licence which includes Lumira it is a good starting point for testing Data Exploration use cases. Reuse of existing Universes defined within a larger SAP BI system is also a beneficial scenario. A BI Platform you can publish visualisations to will help get the information out to wider audiences in a controlled way.

Well suited for initial data exploration. It takes a bit of getting used to but it has a relatively easy learning curve. They could really use some video lesson support for the product but please don't do the canned "non-examples" but go for some real interesting visualizations and then show how to build them.

Lumira is well suited for scenarios where you need to connect to BW data and add some new data and push it back to a HANA table to be then consumed for either a POC or limited group of people. It's not as well suited for quick and easy visualizations to share and gain insights.

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.

I don't think that version 1.27 of SAP BusinessObjects Lumira is suited for anything. If SAP adds more functionality like Tableau then it could be more suitable. Clients that already have SAP HANA , for them it might be somewhat useful but I think Cognos, Tableau etc have already built connectors to HANA so Lumira would lose the edge in that sense too.

It well suited for people who want to see data in a visualization instead of looking at eye charts. Conversely if you need a tabular output of your data, the options are limited.

SAP Lumira is really suitable for a heterogenous collection of data sources that needs to be mashed up into one simple presentation. It should not be used to integrated and cleanse data where significant work is required. As such, I see it as a strong desktop tool that compensates somewhat for immature or incomplete BI data sources.

SAP Lumira was mainly used in marketing to analyze potential markets and histories of sales. It was initially small exercises to learn the use of SAP Lumira, which were almost unnecessary because it was so easy to use, and beyond that was an actual analysis of data. We also used it for management reports and were able to use the graphics and features to make understandable charts and graphs.

SAP Lumira, great product, great access to customer base. Still not making strides mainly for lack of data connectivity and usability.

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 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.
