Two solutions on the market

Following cloud first strategy; new features will be delivered in SAP Analytics Cloud/Designer

With Lumira Designer, deliver smaller improvements

Recommendation: if start today with dashboard project, look at App Design (now known as Analytics Designer). Look at road map for app design.

If you have Lumira Designer project using, you can continue to use it; still deliver minor continuous improvement.

      With upcoming 4.3 release - Lumira Designer support is extended all the way to 2026 and beyond and not 2023. So, existing Lumira Designer and on-premise Business objects customers do have much longer time window (7+ years) to plan their cloud transition to SAC. I hope SAP clarifies this ASAP as it is misleading to Business Objects customers with the 4.3 messaging that is coming in parallel.
