Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SAP BusinessObjects Lumira is mostly used by the departments who put together reports for management but it is not used all the time by every department. The departments that I have experience using Lumira with are logistics, customer service, and procurement.

Pros and Cons

useful visualisations
not too much of a hassle to use (can figure out the program even if you don't have advanced training)
fully integrated with multiple data information platforms

expensive
the dashboard is too busy

Alternatives Considered

Tableau Desktop, Qlik Sense and Qlik Sense Cloud

Certain features that SAP BusinessObjects Lumira has are not as good as in the other software that we considered, but SAP BusinessObjects
Lumira was a more reliable program overall than some of the alternatives, which helped us decide to purchase this software versus the other options.

Other Software Used

Qlik Sense, Qlik Sense Cloud, Oracle BI Foundation Suite, Microsoft Azure HDInsight

Likelihood to Recommend

Because of the cost of SAP BusinessObjects Lumira I would not recommend it wholeheartedly because I would expect the program to be a bit more refined (cleaner and easier to use UI) and to have more flexibility for the price. SAP BusinessObjects Lumira is great when you have to create a visual that will be used to demonstrate something that would otherwise be complicated to explain without just words or regular charts.

Great Addition to Reporting
