Excellent Analytics tool for Business Users

Ease of use. The interface has been improved to make it easier for non-IT reporters to quickly build reports. The customization and explandability of the platform and GUI tools to expland capabilities out of the box.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is almost too easy and end users quickly think they are experts without actually learning the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Cognos for business unit reporting. We have trained SMEs to build dashboards and business level reports that have severly cut the daily and monthly reporting processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Strong self service reporting platform. Take the time to setup proper procedures and standards before rolling it out to business users for self-reporting tasks.

An evolving platform
What do you like best about the product?
Since the IBM Cognos Analytics platform came up with its self-service BI proposition, I understood that there was a real intention to make the whole process of data mining as intuitive as possible. The idea of guaranteeing to the user the condition of just drag and drop and by far the most rewarding experience one has with the platform. Fluid and interconnected graphics ensure that the end user is able to extract the maximum amount of meaningful information from their data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite the innovative proposal, the process of customizing the panels elaborated with the IBM Cognos Analytics platform is extremely limited. Colors ... colors are everything for the corporate world and unfortunately the templates offered do not guarantee that the information will be presented in the correct way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The IBM Cognos Analytics platform, at least in Brazil, is losing space for other more intuitive platforms and with the ability to guarantee the end user the ability to present panels in a more customized way. Another issue bothers and how to develop reports. There is no possibility to just drag and drop the component and at that moment see how it will compose with the final result. Have to develop a report and constantly have to render it and something that does not meet the need of most end users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is necessary that the platform is more and more close to the needs of the end users. Ways to customize the objects inserted in the panels. Colors are important, varieties of graphics and customizalos way.
Leave the past behind
What do you like best about the product?
THe cognos applications wore very rich and powerfull with great covernance skils.
What do you dislike about the product?
The aplication has stoped in time for several years. while other brands started to be self service, the cognos remain focused only in theis governance skills, and the visual has not inprouved for a long time. nos its getting a little bit better, but maybe, the time has passed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
data vizualization and basic reporting
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have the need for a strong governance, it may be the right toll.
Full spectrum BI tool
What do you like best about the product?
Enterprise ready full spectrum BI tool. Good controls and metadata management and modelling.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be slow get get managed data in and start basic reporting
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer invoices and itemised billing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider cloud based implementation for faster ROI
Great Product, needs some customization
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity. The product works great and wonderful product integration with Data. The search is powerful and visualizations are great..
What do you dislike about the product?
Not exactly dislike. Too many powerful features and not organized as story books. If they were guidewires or guide by examples, that would have been wonderful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are moving our data into cloud and need to do plenty of data standardization. IBM Cognos quickly helps us, without writing queries, figure out our data, anomalies in the dimensions and the data distribution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plan pretty well and know the features, power and tricks before you take other products' comparison stories. Those products cannot meet the meta data management or, automated queries of IBM Product. They are no where near.
