Robust Reporting and Automation for Banking Needs
Reviewed on Jun 17, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I use IBM Cognos Analytics at DBS Bank for its robust reporting capabilities, especially in handling large banking datasets reliably. The ability to schedule report delivery is particularly valuable for our time-sensitive financial reporting requirements. Cognos's robust reporting handles complex financial data structures and large transaction volumes without breaking down, giving our team confidence that the numbers presented to leadership and regulators are accurate and reliable.
What do you dislike about the product?
A few specific areas — real-time data refresh could be faster, which matters in a banking environment where data changes rapidly. The mobile experience needs significant improvement for on-the-go report access. Also, better out-of-the-box financial and banking-specific report templates would save our team considerable setup time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use IBM Cognos Analytics for visualizing and reporting on financial data, solving the challenge of consolidating large volumes into actionable reports. It eliminates manual data pulls, making compliance and performance reporting faster and more accurate, and handles complex financial data reliably.

Effective Visualization with Some Performance Hiccups
Reviewed on Jun 17, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to quickly build dashboards that bring our chatbot data to life visually. It's intuitive enough that I don't need to be a data expert to create meaningful reports. It does the job well for visualizing our agent assist data locally, and the dashboard capabilities are solid.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the local setup and configuration can be tricky, and the interface feels a bit outdated compared to modern BI tools. Performance can also slow down when querying larger chatbot interaction datasets. Better real-time data refresh capabilities would be a big improvement - for a live agent assist platform, near-instant data updates matter and Cognos can lag behind.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use IBM Cognos Analytics to visualize and monitor chatbot data, making it meaningful and interpretable for agent performance metrics.

Trusted Enterprise Reporting with Governed Self-Service BI
Reviewed on Jun 17, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Cognos Analytics is especially strong for organizations that need trusted enterprise reporting + governed self-service BI in a single platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
it prioritizes enterprise governance, consistency, and reporting rigor over lightweight simplicity.
So whether those are “dislikes” really depends on the organization:
Enterprises with strict reporting/compliance needs often see these as acceptable trade-offs.
Smaller agile teams may prefer more lightweight BI tools.
