More IBM Cognos Dashboard Cons →

"SAP Lumira can improve if they game more capability to the end user to prepare dashboards because it's more of an IT task to create them. In Tableau, we can drag, drop, and create. However, in SAP Lumira, we need a designer and a separate KT to be able to do it well.""It needs an easier printing feature.""It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side.""I'm not a fan of using SAP Lumira because it requires putting in a lot of information by keyboard directly because it requires some coding, so this is one area for improvement. From a user point of view, SAP Lumira is a complex system to learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly.""It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult.""Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination.""Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
