Nishant Chauhan - PeerSpot reviewer

Real-time dashboards have transformed our contact center decisions and performance management
If I talk about features or aspects that need improvement, the first concern is information overload and dashboard clutter. The biggest complaint I hear is that the dashboard contains so much data that new users often feel overwhelmed. Even though it is rated eight out of ten for data discovery, users suggest better ways to hide or filter metrics until needed. Best practices suggest that successful teams start with three to four KPIs on their wallboard and then add more later. Another improvement users wish for is audio alerts; they want sound notifications when calls hit a queue or SLA drops. Currently, it is visual-only, necessitating constant screen monitoring, which can be a gap for busy supervisors. Third, the interactive data visualization layer scores eight out of ten, but users request more interactive charts. Currently, it is clean and efficient, yet lacks the drag-and-drop explorability of Tableau or Domo. Additionally, there is mention of enterprise scalability; eMite users state that while it is well-suited for small to mid-scale companies, it struggles with large companies that have huge data volumes, often resulting in performance issues and dashboard load complications. The mobile app is another area of improvement; while it is good, some users request more admin controls via mobile, as it is currently better for viewing and drill-down rather than configuration changes. Lastly, the learning curve for custom KPIs also needs attention. Regarding additional needed improvements, the custom KPIs feature is a strength but setting them up is not plug-and-play. Non-analyst users sometimes require assistance from the IT data team to construct formulas. Furthermore, the alert system is the most common request, with users desiring configuration for audio alerts and push notifications when queues exceed a certain number of calls, SLAs drop below a specific percentage, or when agents are not ready for too long. Currently, it is visual-only, causing supervisors to potentially miss spikes if they momentarily look away from the wallboard. Additionally, customizing dashboards for non-technical users presents challenges; while the drill-down feature is powerful, building custom dashboards and KPIs involves a learning curve. Teams seek more drag-and-drop widgets and templates; at present, IT data folks typically need to set this up and then hand it off.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Users state that eMite is designed for real-time querying and personalized views for business and IT, emphasizing that the shift is from reactive to proactive resolution of queue spikes, now fixed in minutes as opposed to discovering them in the next day's report."
"The ability to merge enriched data from different sources and also to connect to SAP HANA live data is also embedded in SAP HANA live analytics which cuts down time to deliver a solution to users and helps power users to design their own Lumira stories without any need for IT."
"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."
"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."
"We’ve created several dashboards that display large sets of data in an insightful and easily digestible way."
"It's very easy to import data and also to create formulas and so on, and it made creating charts, especially bubble charts, really easy and very powerful, helping me build impressive metrics for the team around surgery times, supplies used, and expense analysis."
"Beautiful visualizations."
"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."
"The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."
 

Cons

"Additionally, there is mention of enterprise scalability; eMite users state that while it is well-suited for small to mid-scale companies, it struggles with large companies that have huge data volumes, often resulting in performance issues and dashboard load complications."
"It needs to have more complex and enriched chart functions."
"Lumira was very useful for me, but now I have more needs, and I have to move faster because I am responsible for a lot of data, and a lot of information that I have to provide to the directors and VPs."
"Each quarterly upgrade has new features, but then existing features tend to break. This is highly frustrating and affects existing Lumira documents."
"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."
"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."
"I think probably what I was trying to do at the time was create some sort of map if you will. I work a lot with freight data, transportation data and I've been trying to find a solution to show volumes and distances out of a specific point so if we've got a distribution center in Dallas, Texas, something that I can just drop the data in and by zip code it will show a heat map of the zip codes that we're shipping to and I don't recall Lumira being able to do that."
"We definitely encountered issues with stability. We found a lot of bugs throughout the amount of time that we've been using the product."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
