What do you dislike about the product?
Due to pricing, entended for large corporate, while it should hold a tailored product to server smaller busiesses with restructured pricing scheme for that category.
I would also suggest using a "tool service" to communicate data status with end users outside of the official emails.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly reporting for field managers and department managers.
Data crunching and data visualization plus AI chatbot
What do you like best about the product?
Data security is tight with Cognos Analytics unlike spreadsheets where there is high risk of losing original data while working in a team. Here each team member gets a different copy such that any change made is limited to his or her edition. Add to it AI chatbot that answers all the queries (even perform mathematical computations) as the query is raised in a simple English like talking to your friend.So no need to write a single piece of SQL query/code. Finally push notification that can send notifications across devices for keeping tab on important deadlines and accomplishments while working in a team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cloud version at times can be a bit slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All our data are safe and can be manipulated by each stakeholder from customer to staff to admin with each one given a set of access. Al sorts of data science operations from visualzing patterns in the form of graphs to predicting can be don e without writing a single piece of code.
Efficient data analytics tool
What do you like best about the product?
I chose this platform because of the quality of the tools, it has very practical functions which allow you to visualize the data efficiently, and there is not only one way to display the loaded data so there is no problem when you want to adapt the data to different ways of implementing the analysis in different areas of my work.
The loading times really surprised me, by this I mean that no matter the size of the data loaded everything will be fast when it comes to starting to configure the visual reports. I have been trying to use other platforms but in none of them I can get the same response time from when the data is loaded to the point where the graphs can be generated.
I like how I can combine several inputs from different sources to generate the reports, with this I can create more detailed reports. The provision of importing different data sources is very useful for me because it allows me to easily generate reports without any problem.

What do you dislike about the product?
It would be very useful to have a feature that shows a warning when errors are made in the creation of a report and it is not executed, this would help a lot to be able to solve the problem that the loaded database may contain more easily. It would also be nice if they added possible solutions to the problems that are generated.
At first glance, the interface lacks intuitiveness, it requires complete training even if you already have knowledge of data management in SQL to be able to implement said data to this platform, so the lack of intuitive tools made it difficult to be able to navigate within the interface and be effective for data analysis.
I had problems with certain browsers when working with this platform for the first few times, in some cases it simply did not display the virtualized elements correctly, for my solution it was only to use browsers that based on Chromium, because otherwise it will simply have errors even in displaying the drag and drop elements.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM Cognos Analytics is quite prevalent in my work environment because the creation of reports is very specific and efficient. We generate reports on the real estate market in order to analyze the possible better property offers and to be able to make a price comparison in order to determine the best option that our clients need. My experience with this tool has been excellent since it is very robust and complete, it has many data analysis features and also AI functions that improve the way in which reports are generated. In addition, collaborating with a work team within this platform has been very simple, thus being to increase productivity.
User friendly BI reporting tool.
What do you like best about the product?
The support from IBM on technical issues is great.
Over the years, great improvements have been made to the user interface. equal importance has been given to the administrator console as well. for instance, logging specific patterns is now made possible within the portal rather than doing the same in the server by editing files, which was time-consuming.
As an administrator, for one decade, the installation or upgrades have hardly failed. it has been always smooth.

What do you dislike about the product?
using x11 windows has been highly discouraged due to security concerns in my org. I dont see any approved x11 clients: Xming or attachmate reflection.
use of such x11 client tools have become challenging.
most importantly, it is impossible to use x11 tools when working remote.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am mostly involved in helping my business team. so I will not be the best to comment on it.
however, The audit reporting helps a lot but it would be appreciated if the administrator tools such as cmtools or cmbrowser were provided with the product bundle or as an optional installation.

Data driven decision making made easy
What do you like best about the product?
1. Drag and drop visualization feature makes life easier
2. Ability to connect with multiple data sources
3. Ability to handle unstructured data
4. Quite similar to PowerBi, transitioning to IBM Cognos Analytics will be easier if you have some experience with Power Bi or Tableaeu for that matter

I didn’t encounter any drawbacks till now, only thing I would say is initial setup time is little high but then again its not really a drawback if you ask me
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integrating with multiple data sources and creating a data story to help leadership in data-driven decision making
One tool for many stop solutions
What do you like best about the product?
Now its been while i am using this tool for reporting and analysis,data visualization, and its capability of advance analysis using AI Technology and its ability to integrate with various data sources. I find it easy to use and can easily share reports and dashboards with my peers.
Ya its no doubt customer support is good and any time if face any issues, we can connect with them.

To be very frank i dont encounters many issues while working with the tool, but one thing i want to highlight is performance issues while handling large dataset.
Like i encounter slowness.

Neat and curated
What do you like best about the product?
Cognos analytics did good job in data visualization tools. It had a wide variety of data representation tools to get a better understanding of my project
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I would change aboutthe product is how Ui seems to be unresponsive sometimes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I helped me to get better understanding of my project
It’s best if we’re concerned about the deployment or installation of this app on our local systems.
What do you like best about the product?
I would say, as we had installed it on site, and we had really have control over customization. So far, we had used dashboards and charts in order to visualize our HVAC model data. Overall it's good like power bi.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I personally felt, regardless of its scope of the installation , it is not much interactive than power bi. It does not provide same level of drag and drop functionalities and even pre built visualisation options as like power bi. They could think of cloud native application for cogno.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So we used data visualisation templates and even report studio to measure the thermal comfort after configuring each type and cases of HVAC system. So analysing and tracking thermal comfor was very interactive.
IBM Cognos Usability Experiance
What do you like best about the product?
It is having attractive features to filter ot select the required criterias as per end user's need as well as having variety of integrated tools as per business requirements such as Event Studio, Query Stusio to query the extracts as well as we can use those queries in another database ide's to cross validate our requirements, it also provides the workspace to differetiate and create our own buisness reports which provide ease of usability as well as ease of implementation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't found as such but it could have mobile version that can be more handy to its users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is beneficial while we need customized solutions on real time data.
It solves the need of looking into historical data by making connections to the any database engines that it supports.
Help us more to make buisness decisions being one stop shop for all types of reports.

As operations analyst we tested Cognos Analytic for backlog inventory case scenario.
We had hard time since it was scary for first time and having just 30 days trial didn't impress us.
Though it allowed us and FP&A department to prepare for forecasting inventory case model
