    Considered Both Products
    Microsoft
    Chose Microsoft Power BI
    Much easier learning curve and integration with Microsoft Office gives it a leg up. People not knowing they have it, believe it or not, is limiting it's usage. Microsoft really needs to market it!

    Much better. Quicker and easier to update. Better connectivity and able to share and collaborate. The ability to connect data puts it a step above the others.

    Chose SAP Lumira Discovery
    Lumira is the worst. If you are a total SAP shop you might prefer to use WebI, BeX, or even Crystal Reports/Dashboards before making the leap into Lumira. If you have the option and are already a MS 365 user, download PowerBI, it is cheaper, easier and more powerful.

    Chose SAP Lumira Discovery

    - Power BI has more features (like ETL) and more integration. Power BI Desktop is free.

    - Tableau has better visual and better interactivity. Tableau is expensive.

    - SAP Lumira is affordable as long as you don't need the Web Portal.

    Easy to use, one time license cost, close integration with BI/BO, custom user story for case based data presentation.

    Chose SAP Lumira Discovery
    I think the only real reason to select SAP BusinessObjects Lumira over the others listed above at the moment would be due to the integration with the rest of the SAP stack, whether that is the current level of integration or the future level that is expected. On all other …

    • Splunk for data analysis and viewing, but this is more an industrial type of tool.
    • Othwerwise Excel and some extensions

    PowerBI - very intuitive - more so than SAP Lumira with a very small learning curve. Able to plot graphs and charts by typing in natural language. IBM Watson - not as intuitive, but quite powerful. Able to plot and suggest or propose findings by parsing and analyzing data (very …
