We performed a comparison between SAP Lumira and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."
"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."
"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."
"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."
"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."
"Geographic hierarchy and the ability to connect with SAP sources, such as CRM, ERP, and BW."
"Beautiful visualizations."
"Tableau is highly scalable. Now that they've introduced Hyper, you can create an extract of more than 5 million rows in minutes and then do your analysis."
"It provides business users with a tool, so they are not dependent on IT."
"All features are valuable. It is very user-friendly, and it is mostly drag-and-drop. If we have the dataset available, then we can develop any dashboard very quickly."
"We found Tableau has the quickest learning time out of the few other BI reporting tools that we have used."
"I have found the solution easy to use and the interface is very good."
"From the data science point of view, we use it for model building purposes. For example, if we are using it for a bank and we want to understand how much loan the bank can provide, we can use visualization to show the educational qualification, salary, gender, and city of a customer, and by using this information, we can arrive at the loan amount that this person is eligible for. I can also use it to view all prospective customers, so essentially, this is going to help me in model building as well as in understanding and segmenting customers and doing forecasting and predictive analytics. We use model widgets, and we can create thousands of visualizations, such as motion charts and bubble charts. We can also create animated versions of the graphs and view the data from multiple dimensions. These are the features that we typically use and like."
"While using this solution I have found the valuable features to be ease of use and the visualization. It is a complete solution."
"The ease of presenting findings is very helpful."
"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."
"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."
"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"I would like the solution to have certain features allowing the delivery of reports to the email."
"The customization requires a lot of effort and should be simplified. The performance could be better."
"There are more than a powerful tool in the market, such as Microsoft BI."
"Maybe the price could be a bit cheaper, especially if you're a personal developer that uses Tableau just to explore smaller data sets and you're not a company or something like that."
"A strict security measure is needed. I believe it is weak in terms of security."
"From the developer perspective, the data connection handling the target data set is what most needs to be improved."
"Could have more integrations with different platforms."
