I have used Dimafix and 3DLac, both are working fine, the difference is that you have to apply Dimafix after each print, 3DLac can be used longer. I used both only ABS or sometimes for CPE(PETG).
When I am not using UHU Stick, I use Magigoo because it is so easy to apply. I still have my first bottle, so it lasts long. You don't have to apply it every time. What do you mean with "use it in one month"?
The UM adhesion sheets are also great. You get not only a good adhesion, but you have also a protection against chipping your glass.
Magigoo has also a special Nylon and PC product, I have ordered it, but haven't tried it yet. Basically I prefer sticks and not sprays, because it is easier to apply and I don't have to put out the glass from the printer. Dimafix has now also a stick version, but haven't tried it yet.
Adhesion depends also on the model you print. For bigger things and with materials which tends to warp, I usually use one of the sprays, for smaller models, Magigoo or just UHU stick is enough.
And keep in mind that adhesion is one thing, but the other thing is that you want to get the stuff from the bed again after printing and this can be a challenge with the wrong product. So think always that you don't only apply the adhesives just for sticking to the bed, but also as a protection for your glass. I chipped both sides of my S5 glass with a small ABS print and using 3DLac. I had no chance to get it off.

S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
