What do you like best about the product?
The Cognos Analytics suite provides a broad spectrum of functionality in a single package as opposed to having to use a large number of third party tools to supplement requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new UI is simply terrible paticularly in Reports Builder.

There appears to be a complete disregard for the positioning of icons and duplication of functions.

The in windows pull down tabs are not used consistently. For example when editing a report you get an in window pulldown tab but when you run the edited report you get a whole new browser tab. However when you just run the report without editing it once again is an in window tab. Powerplay cubes also generate a separate browser tab.

There is no inbuilt version control software.

Bullet charts changed radically from the prior version to no longer creating a single chart with multiple bullets per category.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building insights across our enterprise from Manufacturing to Planning to Sales & Marketing to Finance.

Recommended graphs and charts. Some of the recommended graphs and charts were not what I wanted.

IBM Cognos Analytics works fast. I like how you can get answers almost instantly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch Tutorial online and do the tutorial problems.
