Great Product, needs some customization
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity. The product works great and wonderful product integration with Data. The search is powerful and visualizations are great..
What do you dislike about the product?
Not exactly dislike. Too many powerful features and not organized as story books. If they were guidewires or guide by examples, that would have been wonderful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are moving our data into cloud and need to do plenty of data standardization. IBM Cognos quickly helps us, without writing queries, figure out our data, anomalies in the dimensions and the data distribution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plan pretty well and know the features, power and tricks before you take other products' comparison stories. Those products cannot meet the meta data management or, automated queries of IBM Product. They are no where near.
Simple and User friendly to meet end user needs

Simple user friendly dashboard interface and the power it gives to end user to explore data

With move to Cognos Analytics 11 lot of user interfaces changed drastically that needed extra end user training.

Perceived as old school and ownded by IT, but now available in the Cloud using advanced AI technologies.

Solid BI from operational reporting to adhoc query. Easy self-service and guided analytics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you've not taken a look at Cognos in a few years - make sure you do now!!! It's come a long way from the days of Series 7, now incorporating the benefits of Watson Analytics (RIP).
Cognos is a great reporting tool
What do you like best about the product?
IBM Cognos Dashboard Embedded is a great reporting tool. It allows you to view reports and information that normally would be too large and timely to digest.
What do you dislike about the product?
The creation is a little difficult, but overall, it is a great product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This allows you to manipulate big data into reports that management actually wants to look at.
Very efficient reporting and analytics, abit lagy
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is setup by our IT dept but the way reporting is displayed is very informative and keeps track of everything
What do you dislike about the product?
It sometimes is abit lagy and slow, may be it's because we run it through Citrix Receiver remotely
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business intelligence reporting and analytics
Congo’s provides easy reporting
What do you like best about the product?
I like the user interface of this product. The functionality makes it extremely easy for users (even new users) to build customized reports to see sales data in numerous variations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to input parts list from an excel format to run a query (easily without having to basically write code)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this daily in product management to review our product line sales, margins, customer data, etc to determine things such as “end of life” for products and customer sales performance.
Good analytics for BIG data
What do you like best about the product?
Cognos is a really useful, powerful platform that can handle a LOT of data and gives you the freedom to organize and compare data in many different ways. I can look at trends in data over different years, quarters, months, etc, and I can also compare across departments at my company depending on how I query the data.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a fairly steep learning curve when using Cognos. It isn't always very intuitive, but lots of that has to do with how your company sorts and organizes their data. Also, there isn't a great way to visualize the data other than by using numbers. It isn't great at helping outsiders understand the information quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to find trends, answer specific questions that department heads have, and track expenses, budgets, basically any data that we want to. As long as the people who need the answers understand the basic information at our company, Cognos does a great job of helping everyone move forward with better information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're expecting Cognos to be like Tableau or other data visualization software, this isn't for you. It's good at handling BIG data and keeping track of thousands of lines of information, but it doesn't do much to visualize it. It can present it in numeric forms and
Great Interface
What do you like best about the product?
Search options, Updated Interface, Modern Charts, easy to manage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Admin Tab is still old school. It can be improved, especially in terms of monitor.

Financial reporting, Operations reporting, Customer reporting, Cubes
Cognos Analytics On-prem

Better user acceptance due to modern UI.
