It's stable, it keeps on improving and the technical support is excellent
I think a lot of users aren't having fun using SAP 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 is a complex system where you can learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly. In the next release of SAP, I want it to have a friendlier menu for its users.

Real-time executive visibility has replaced spreadsheets and drives daily sales decisions
Toucan Toco offers excellent features, including the quick ability to create Stories and KPIs based on the data that we're storing in our data warehouse. We leverage the functionality within Toucan Toco to quickly build out a code-free environment, providing a code-free way of sharing both graphs and KPIs to track and deliver visibility to key data elements. Toucan Toco has positively impacted our organization because we previously were using Excel spreadsheets to share data out to the team, and now we're using Toucan Toco to share information in real time. This shift to real-time sharing has brought clarity to consistent metrics and real-time visibility to activity.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The dynamic creation of dashboards and the quick visualization is the key feature."
"Beautiful visualizations."
"This product is amazing and changes how people think of the relationship between IT and businesses."
"It is a product that's easy to learn and understand, with the ability to create dynamic visualizations and various integration options including next-to real-time."
"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 provides better, more robust ability to visualize data than in Excel or some of the other desktop tools that are out there, providing users the ability to identify actionable trends in their data sets that they normally wouldn't see, like in a spreadsheet or tabular data, a report."
"Now, it seems to be one of the best SAP dashboard/chart/data analysis tools available."
"Geographic hierarchy and the ability to connect with SAP sources, such as CRM, ERP, and BW."
"Toucan Toco has positively impacted our organization because we previously were using Excel spreadsheets to share data out to the team, and now we're using Toucan Toco to share information in real time."
 

Cons

"It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."
"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."
"It has some limitations when operating BW data, and has limited functions when mixing different data sources."
"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"From an enterprise supported tool, I find that a little wanting."
"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
"It needs to have more complex and enriched chart functions."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"I chose nine because Stories can cascade on top of each other and be a bit complicated when they create multiple data sets underneath the Stories to manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of cost, SAP Lumira is less affordable."
"PowerBI is way more capable at a much better price point: $10 per user without all the associated setup costs."
