Preparing to upgrade
What do you like best about the product?
Our Cognos environment is easy to use and provides a rich mix of operational and analytical reporting to our end users.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I really dislike. We moved forward with using Qlik as our dashboarding tool because a few years back the CA dashboarding was not as mature as we would have liked it and we were not in a position to upgrade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We provide a mix of reports which allow the business to plan for production, inventory, materials and capacity. We also provide a rich set of sales reports which allows our sales team to track where they are relative to plan.
Review of CA 11 on Prem
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the anticipation of new features to review with every quarter release. While my organization may not adopt each release, it is exciting to see where the product is moving and the needs IBM is seeking to serve.
What do you dislike about the product?
On prem upgrade from 10.2.2 to 11.0.10 was not smooth. We had numerous issues show up after a go-live upgrade which did not manifest during our year-long testing. After several consultations with IBM, a few of the remaining major issues have still not been addressed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are still working to get back to a parity position of functionality between our 10.2.2 environment and 11.0.x and have not been able to fully explore new features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Wait until 11.1.

Frequent releases for fixes and enhancements.
Ease of applying the releases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Old Admin Console (within Cognos connection), Configuration dialog is out of date. The interface is sluggish at times and struggles to load content when the count is more than 20. For example: If a particular folder has 50 reports, it takes a while to load the content vs a folder with 5 reports. Mobile is app is very unfriendly on ipads thereby making users rely on native browsers such as ipad which deters users from using Cognos on Mobile devices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dashboards are very easy to compile when compared to earlier versions of Cognos (10.x and 8.x). User adaptability and user training is much easier due to friendly interface. The improved analytical capabilities have improved the business perception towards Cognos as a reporting tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Cognos has greatly evolved in the past 2-3 years and is on the path to modernize the Analytical reporting. Greatly recommended if looking for the next age BI solutions.
