Flexible reporting tool

  • March 31, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Cognos is incredibly flexible and powerful. It allows me to create highly customized reports that users can run independently. In addition, users can select their own filters on the reports, which reduces the amount of time I spend generating one off reports
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a steep learning curve. Features can sometimes be counterintuitive or difficult to understand. In addition, the interface and output has a utilitarian feel that can appear clunky and outdated. I have experienced issues exporting reports to Excel, although workarounds were found.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use a Cognos-based system to generate custom reports from the eClinicalworks electronic medical record.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a powerful BI tool that can do a lot but aren't particularly concerned with producing flashy reports, Cognos is a great choice.

What do you like best about the product?
IBM Cognos Business Intelligence presents information in a personalized format; users can analyze, share and collaborate on content in one dashboard. Language and location are no longer barriers to access and interaction with dashboards.

It is very expensive and few issues were found in mobile reports
