Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."It is a stable product."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."
"The solution is fast."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"You can switch views easily."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"The most valuable features of SAP Lumira are the dashboards, geographical elements, and graph filtering, and the usage is similar to a website which makes it easy to use."
"Beautiful visualizations."
"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."
"SAP Lumira is the best system in the world, at least in my opinion. I like that it's a stable system and that many people in my company have development experience in SAP Lumira. The solution keeps on improving and has excellent support."
"The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."
"Geographic hierarchy and the ability to connect with SAP sources, such as CRM, ERP, and BW."
"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use."
"The solution is quite costly."
"Better source data connectors."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."
"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
"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."
"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."
"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 would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."
"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
