Powerful and Robust

I like that IBM Cognos Analytics covers so many different reporting and data analysis business cases.

The tool can, at times, be difficult to navigate. Some configuration settings are controlled in places you would not expect.

I am delivering reports, dashboards, and data dumps for our Financial analysts. Again this speaks to the overall robustness of the tool as you can do so much.

Fraud
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Database in memory
Analytics Suite for All Roles
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that there is one Reporting Tool for all user roles, the improved Search capabilities, and the context sensitive functions. We are using 11.0.12.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Dashboard Tool capabilities require improvement so that it is not necessary to use the Advanced Reporting Tool for formatting fonts, and complex user requirements like showing detail list reports along with Visualizations in a dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are providing managed reporting and ad-hoc reporting for our functional teams along with KPI Reporting to help Business Areas manage their business performance and operational needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Cognos 11.1.1 introduces AI features and many improvements over the 11.0.x release. The IBM Cloud Operations Support post Go-Live is not proactive in identifying issues in the environment. There is a lot of room for improvement in the monitoring services of the health of the environment to proactively manage the environment.
Effective Tool

The analytics are very accurate and detailed.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was difficult to install and ran into some incompatibility with our version of Java

Recommendations to others considering the product:
no recommendations
CA on Cloud
What do you like best about the product?
I like the new cognos Analytics Features, especially the new and really good usability and graphical options
What do you dislike about the product?
I thnik that list pricing is much to high. Wouldn't it be better to have a very price sensitive go to market like other big players.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using IBM Cognos Analytics on Cloud to make new business analysis with a very high scalable opportunities
Jack of all Trades
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.
