Overall Satisfaction with SAP BusinessObjects Lumira

Currently we use Lumira as a dashboarding and data visualization/exploration tool. It has been very helpful for analyzing data on the fly from spreadsheets and flat files.

Pros

  • Dashboards, charts, and animations look fantastic
  • Easy to import your own data and merge with other data
  • If your data has large enough cities, the geographical hierarchies that can be generated are extremely useful.

Cons

  • The main output is an infographic/story. Would like to see other ways to output the reports.
  • Only able to author content if the client is installed. Would like web based authoring capabilities.
  • Most of the time, the data you work with has to be held in memory on your local machine. This can be problematic for performance.
  • SAP Dashboard
This is by far easier to use.
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.
