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.
  • Dashboard creation is very easy and does not require much coding expertise.
  • Very easy to use and user friendly
  • Excellent data analytics tool bundled with awesome visualization features
  • Continuous updates with significant improvements to the tool
  • The flexibility in sharing Lumira output lags behind its competitors
  • No option to retrieve data directly from a website using OData service (URL)
  • Variable manipulation is not allowed much unlike Tableau
The ease of access to Data and visualizations. The fact that it is integrated with BW and HANA makes it a must have for SAP customers
Not for data scientists, but more for traditional data miners.

Cumbersome
  • Data Explorations
  • Draw graphs visualize and analyze
  • 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?
