Data Analytics Buzz tool
Lumira is used by our organization for marketing and operations sales dashboards. Connecting multiple sources of data was easy. Creating different visualization that conveyed data in attractive formats enabled us to start utilizing the data in a matter of few days.

Lumira? Why waste your time!
It is not being used at all. I evaluated it for purchase but it is not nearly as good as Tableau or even PowerBI. I found it very frustrating and useless. Seems like the goal is to focus on users with HANA - which we don't have.

Lumira as a Data Exploration tool
As an option for use within SAP BI Platform for Data Exploration visualisations across the whole organisation. Allowing data to be manipulated and questions to be asked of it beyond standard reporting tools.

All around good software
I used it in project for a non-profit in Raleigh, North Carolina. I used the product to geographically visualize the current need the non-profit was serving and used a model to visualize the estimated need. I also used various bar charts and other graphs for a presentation to the managers.

Lumira for Performance analytics.
SAP BusinessObjects Lumira is being used across the organization at the executive level for bench marking and performance comparison across the Health Care IT.

Lumira -- has promise
This is a great program to do initial visualization and analysis. Its simple enough that almost anyone can use it and be able to tease out some of the more detailed complexities of a dataset. It should cover all but the most complicated business scenarios and it has the advantage of close integration with SAP data sources. It's certainly worth a look by anyone considering a new visualization option.
I would note that it took a bit of horsepower on my system but that isn't unusual for visualization products such as this one. In general, the interaction was smooth but I would recommend running this with at least 8GB of RAM. It does run well under a virtual machine (Parallels, in this case).

Cool Tool
We are still evaluating Lumira for our data visualization needs across many SBU's in DuPont. The goal is to have business leaders use it for analytics and reduce the need to rely on static BW Reports.The benefit as we see it is to provide a user friendly tool that business people can easily use to see and interpret data.

my feedback for Lumira

Lumira - for the existing SAP BI customers
To create easy to use dashboard alternatives by business users themselves like the adhoc webi report creation.This provides a very quick visualization to understand the data faster than going through the actual data in tables and spread sheets. Sales forecast, revenue recognition are the couple of initial uses which convinced users to adopt this self service BI tool.

Seeing the light with Lumira
Our global organization is moving towards a much more a self service BI oriented model and environment. Our business is ever changing rapidly and needs to keep up with the market reality. Many new segments or pockets of opportunities need to be tracked and measured by the business. They often need to merge internal and external data. Lumira has been evaluated in that scope.

Lumira Review for the Average or Power User
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.

Lumira ...........Almost there !
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.

SAP Lumira Stands out
It is used by our organization with numerous developers working on it.
It is used by business users to build their own dashboards. It is used by them for slicing and dicing of the data.
They also use it for publishing the data to their colleagues.

SAP LUMIRA 1.29 - Review
I implemented Lumira for one of my clients. It was used as reporting tool for a limited number of users. It was mainly used by sales folks where they wanted to analyze sales data. There were some canned reports also which the users are accessing through launch pad. The tool (Lumira) is very intuitive and can be learned very easily by anyone without any prior IT background. It helped the sales folks get insight about their customers, the price points they are selling, the material etc.

Lumira Vs Tableau
It was used by business analysts. The main problem was performance. Users were uploading huge chunks of data and were trying to build advanced analytics on top of it. Lumira was not able to handle it all. We got Tableau in place and it is doing quite well.

Lumira Review
It is currently being used in the accounting department. It is being used to address the profitability of certain products that we offer. It is also being used to provide executive level management with summary dashboards. These dashboards allow management to see in real time what is happening with orders and production.

Simple, Easy to use and Powerful tool
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.
Our company realized how competitive we can be with the analytical tool as we recognized in SAP Lumira. It forms the way we start to see information, not data. Improve is the main word, that better defines our delightful business analytics moment. Being able to identify the main indicators and make it clear to the board for the company was a nice achievement for our IT members.
