Connecting to different data sources is easy, and plotting these data on charts is done by one drag and drop. You can adjust the component of your reports by freely resizing them, the UI is simple and clear to understand. The possibility to share the reports to the SAP BI ecosystem, that mostly serves all the collaborators of a company, is also a big plus. > > **Cons**: The performance might be a bit "meh" if your laptop is not new and powerful enough. Laptop from 2014, old core and 4Go of RAM might suffer a bit, especially if you try to handle hundreds of thousands of data. > > At the beginning, SAP Lumira was a bit "half-baked", some core features were missing and that's why it did not had a good start in terms of adoption. But the dev teams have done a lot to improve the product both in terms of performance and functionalities. Now the product can perfectly compete with Tableau or so. I do even think that the tool is better than Tableau or Power BI for people looking for a SIMPLE, self-service BI tool, because it is way easier to use. Less options, but straight to the point for meaningful analysis report creation in no time. ----- ### "Implementation Too Technical" — 2.0/5 > **Ron** | *4 November 2021* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: The overall end results of some of the visualization is good. > > **Cons**: Basic implementation - getting anything to work requires technical skills that the average person does not have. ----- ### "Nice and Easy Visuals" — 4.0/5 > **Harold** | *22 November 2016* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Seemless "Prepare", "Visualize" and "Compose" functionality. Including linking files, filtering and multiple charting options. Like the hierarchy features for geographic and date drilling. Also, support for numerous data sources > > **Cons**: formatting, sizing and scheduling refreshes > > I was the 1st member of my team to install Lumira 1.30 desktop and connect to HANA, MS SQL and Oracle databases. We are currently installing Lumira 1.31 on Linux Server for Enterprise sharing. ----- ### "Great tool for visualizing data" — 4.0/5 > **Irina** | *14 September 2017* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to load the data and clean up the data within the tool. Produces nice advanced visuals for reports that can be refreshed by any user. Good tool to work with SAP data directly. > > **Cons**: The tool Does require training. It is rather pricey and offers limited visual capabilities compared to other analytical tools. > > Visualizing and creating reports using SAP data. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/415813/sap-lumira?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/415813/sap-lumira) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
