Overall Satisfaction with SAP BusinessObjects Lumira
It is being used by myself along with CMO. I'm involved in business development activities apart from my Engineering based commitments.
We use it for visualization and analysis of our company's business, there by helping in decision making.
As we primarily work on Machine learning and data analytics application, it helps in that regard as well.

- Creating different charts and diagrams are easy and finally preparing story board and exporting it to pdf
- The overall tool should give more tool box visible on design area also there should be flooring tool box options available
- Connections to other system takes much time at least in my case
- Charts are grouped with drop downs which creates confusion for user that where are the other charts?
