Did you replace BO with another BI Tool? If so, What’s missing in the new tool that you loved about BO?

Didnt replace with BO but stopped all the dashboards crap from SAP.

We use Tableau and now with all the big data we have Looker also

We also have Tableau and Power BI. Neither of them can replace the BO publication feature nor can they easily do near real-time refreshes for shop floor displays. So, it appears WebI’s Auto-refresh feature is my only real choice.
We were using SAP Dashboards for that, but it’s going away in Dec.

I wonder what others use for Auto-refresh on unattended displays to update data every 5-10 minutes?

Thanks for the input
Jon

I have found a way even without using Streaming to update a Lumira dashboard. It works pretty good as long as all the data can be refreshed in a timely matter. It involves using OpenDocument and RESTful services.
