Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite feature of this report writer is the Cognos Agent. I love the fact that I can build a search criteria and I only get a report if the conditions change. Do to this feature we have substantially lowered the number of reports that we get daily. This has lead to a decluttering of the inbox which has lead myself and other users in the department to move much quicker on the issue. Before the reports were pretty much ignored - just too many to look at.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike the most is under the same feature (Cognos agent) - the ability to copy statements (using a web browser) is a challenge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This product has been a game changer for my organization. We went from manually having to run reports almost exclusively on an ad-hoc basis to being able to get simple rosters daily and being provided data audit reports. Next, we look forward to being able to create more analytical reports that will allow us to make better business decisions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
. Build a data warehouse first or in conjunction - Extremely powerful tool!
