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 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."
"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."
"The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."
"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."
"It is an excellent tool for data capture, processing, and visualization."
"Tableau is easy to use. That's the first and most important thing. I not only provide consulting but I also train people to use it, so with its ease-of-use it's not as difficult for me to train executives and management staff, because they don't have the IT background, unlike when I'm using Python."
"Tableau is an advanced specialized tool. One of the best features I've seen is the lack of an intermediate semantic layer. I think that's an advantage compared to any other tool like BusinessObjects or Power BI, which are Tableau's biggest competitors."
"It is so easy to do a lot of things. There is a lot of flexibility and creativity in this product. In other products, you don't have this flexibility."
"It is easy to adapt visualizers to have interactive conversations among decision-makers."
"Tableau is good for routine dashboards, and it has integration with Slack, through which it can send you daily updates."
"I like Tableau's heat maps and the storyboard. You can create data stories and tons of visuals with it, and it goes together really well. Tableau lets you manipulate the data in various ways."
"It allows us to basically understand and evaluate our numbers in an expedient manner."
"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."
"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."
"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"They need a write-back; that is what is missing. If they get the write back to the database, they will be fully automated, but for the time being, they are not."
"There could be improvements on the mobile application, it is lacking features."
"Improvements in schema security and row/column security need to be made."
"The user experience for less savvy or non-technical people (from my experience)."
"The pricing is high. I'm using a student license, however, I know that even this license is very expensive. I've tried to have this product in our organization, however, it's quite expensive. We don't have the internal budget."
"We need big servers to perform the operations that we are doing. They should probably relook at its architecture."
"The price could be better."
"It's already using 32 gigabytes of memory, but the performance is not so good. It's very heavy."
