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 problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

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

Offers ease of use but needs to improve its documentation
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use, which makes it easily compatible with other tools.
What needs improvement?
The tool does not have much documentation on the internet. It is not easy to resolve issues by finding the reason for the problem on the internet. The tool needs to have more documentation on the internet.
There are many problems with the product's stability part, making it an area where improvements are required.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using IBM Cognos for two years. I use the solution's latest version.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I believe that my company did not configure the product very well, so we did not use the product with full capacity and its scalability features. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Around 50 percent of my company uses the product.
My company has no plans to increase the number of users of the solution. The product is useful mainly for people who make decisions in the organization, meaning it has limited usage in our company.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
My company has worked with Microsoft Power BI.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase is easy, but we are using it with another tool. When we use IBM Cognos with another tool, meaning when you plug it in for the first time, it is a little bit complicated, but once you have done it, the next time, it will be okay.
For the product's deployment phase, you have to follow the setup guide to create the deployment plan. My company plugs IBM Cognos with our database, which is populated by our main tool. My company gets the data from the database or one of the other tools we use and from the vendor of IBM Cognos.
What was our ROI?
The tool's ROI part is something that can only be discussed by the managers who are responsible for using the product. I think the product is useful because my company gets many requests from our customers to upgrade or change some reports.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My company uses IBM Cognos with another IBM product, so I think only one license is used.
What other advice do I have?
I would describe a specific scenario or project where the solution improved our company's decision-making process by giving us some organization.
My company uses the tool for reporting.
My company manages IBM Cognos with another tool. My company has seven people to manage not just IBM Cognos but also other tools. One person will be enough to manage IBM Cognos.
Honestly, IBM Cognos won't be the first choice if I have to recommend a solution to others.
If the price of IBM Cognos is not very expensive, people can buy it, but for the same price, they can have Microsoft Power BI. I think I will recommend Microsoft Power BI to others.
I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
