Overall Satisfaction with SAP Lumira

Our organization uses SAP Lumira to develop dashboards and infographics for educational and reporting purposes.
  • It is very intuitive to use.
  • Visualizations allow the user to drill-down.
  • No gauge visualization present in the default standard version.
  • Takes very long to load. It is a memory hog.
  • It needs to recommend the best chart for the available data.
SAP Lumira is expensive for my application. I don't have much data to visualize.
I like the extensions built by third party vendors. There is no speedometer/gauge chart in the standard version by default.

Evaluating SAP Lumira and Competitors

  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
Desktop version of Lumira is great since it enables me to choose whether I need to share the data or keep it private (off the internet).
Look for the amount of visualizations that come standard with the product and if anyone in the organization has used it before and is available to support.

Change management was minimal - Analyst works on it
