Cognos Review
Beoordeeld op 18-11-2017
Overall, if there is a company that wishes to automate it's reports and improve efficiency across their organization, Cognos is a must-have tool. There is a bit of upfront cost involved to get the reports created in Cognos but the efficiency achieved is almost unparalleled.
Pluspunten
Cognos is an incredibly powerful reporting tool offered by IBM and it has a wonderful ability to be customized across different industries and companies. It can transform work efficiency but automating virtually any data that exists in a company's primary accounting and finance system.
Minpunten
Cognos is not very user-friendly and often times it can take a while for an individual working with Congos to get familiar with the functionality and the power this tool possesses. Furthermore, report writing and query studio functionality require some database knowledge so the true power of the tool is sometimes limited by these factors.

Used to be good, showing age
Beoordeeld op 14-2-2019
General business intelligence tool that is showing its age and needs to be geared more for agile. Not a great solution for small user numbers or more towards hardcore analyst/data scientist.
Pluspunten
The latest versions have improved the report writer experience by consolidating a few of the modules. Generally robust at connecting to single data sources.
Minpunten
Steep learning curve for writing reports and setting up Framework Manager packaging is way too time consuming. The end user interface got more complicated and less easy to use in their attempt for more flashiness. The latest versions have been extremely buggy. Data blending and quick turnarounds are not its strong point.

Full-featured, slightly behind the curve.
Beoordeeld op 26-11-2021
It brings a lot of functionality all under one roof. Our team found the "visualization" a little easier in Cognos vs Power BI, but the paginated reporting better in SSRS/PBIRS. We ended up transitioning entirely from Cognos to the MS stack and the broad consensus by the team is it was an overall welcomed upgrade. We're starting to consider Tableau or Looker, but returning to Cognos isn't on our horizon.
Pluspunten
The ability to visualize data in many way all using the same utility is beneficial so we don't have to worry about multiple deployment/support patterns. Having an in-memory OLAP option made performance less of an issue compared to hitting an on-prem database directly for everything. The ability to add custom code allows for some really creative solutions to unique business problems in reporting.
Minpunten
We felt the interface and functionality was a little dated - our more technical employees were fine but the more analyst-type developers preferred something "prettier"/"friendlier" like Tableau/Power BI. It also got expensive for us which was one of the two the primary reasons we transitioned. This is obviously dependent on the number of users, so consider your own environment of course.

IBM Cognos Review
Beoordeeld op 23-2-2017
My company has been using IBM Cognos for the past 4 years. When we purchased IBM Cognos it was the best fit for our situation. It has been a valued piece of software in our business. It has given us the ability to tie data from multiple data sources. It has given the ability for our departments to run reports that we haven't been able to in the past.
Pluspunten
The software is very intuitive. If you have knowledge of SQL, it is a very easy software to pick up. The Help portion of the Cognos interface is very helpful also.
Minpunten
Customer Support for this product isn't the best. We have been on Cognos 10.1.1 for a while and when it came up for licensing renewal, we were charged for a newer version of Data Manger. When we inquired about this through our support contract we were going to be charged for the new software.

Invaluable Business Intelligence
Beoordeeld op 6-9-2019
Data is extremely vital to any organization and the ability to generate useful reports and dashboards on demand across multiple sources is invaluable.
Pluspunten
Scheduling reports, configuring prompt pages on reports for users to run a standardized report with custom filters are both fantastic features that I used hundreds of times across all reporting.
Minpunten
Report building was intuitive for a power user but average users found it overwhelming. This just meant a bit more training from my department.

Great Analytics Tool
Beoordeeld op 24-10-2019
Overall, I would recommend using Cognos Analytics for data analysis. My whole company uses it from daily reporting to more advanced analyses.
Pluspunten
IBM Cognos Analytics is a great data analytics tool. It can handle a lot of data and makes it easy for users to create reports to view their data. I like that it allows for a variety of output formats.
Minpunten
Cognos Analytics can be hard to learn how to use. You have to really understand your data first so that you can figure out how to make the tool do what you need it to do.

This report writer is linked to our accounting software.
Beoordeeld op 29-3-2018
Pluspunten
You can write your own reports and pull out the data you need from our accounting software. You have the ability to create advanced reports and format in multiple ways.
Minpunten
Sometimes the fields that are in Cognos do not match exactly or have different names from the actual software so it is a guess at what field you are pulling. The report studio portion is advanced report writing and in order to create these reports it is recommended to have additional training in order to make reports be beneficial for your company.

Cognos pulls meaning out of any data
Beoordeeld op 1-9-2018
It gives big data meaning and helps us answer business question so we can make smart decisions and provide relevant and cleanly formatted data to our customers.
Pluspunten
It is straight-forward and feature-rich. We have combined dozens and dozens of queries into a single report without any issue before, so it has that advantage over most of the alternative solutions.
Minpunten
The version of Cognos we are running currently makes it difficult to pinpoint the bottle-neck of certain reports.

I feel Cognos is the best BI Product that I have come across.
Beoordeeld op 26-2-2018
Data Analytics, Dashboards, Complex KPI reports, Event studio objects
Pluspunten
Very structured, Reporting features are very good and we can make use of various functions, Event studio tool is the most powerful.
Minpunten
I wish if natural language feature is added to Cognos. When it comes to the calculated fields we need to write functions in Cognos, but if IBM Cognos can make built in functions like Microsoft power BI then that would be awesome. High pricing is another factor.

TM1 allows you to build business models that display online results available to all authorized users of the organization.
Pluspunten
IBM Cognos TM1 facilitates the creation of business models with the participation and contribution of users throughout the organization regardless of their physical location.
TM1 is a enterprise-level platform that allows an integral, flexible, rigorous and perfect control over the users that contribute with the creation of the budget.
It allows building multidimensional models that incorporate the business rules that govern the financial processes of the company.
Minpunten
IBM Cognos TM1 needs to train personnel to administer the platform.
The construction of the models requires specialized IT staff.
The cost of the licenses is for medium and large companies.

Powerful tool for the good analysis of your data. can get quick information for quick decisions
Beoordeeld op 8-6-2018
Pluspunten
Cognos is a very effective BI tool. you can create customized reports without having a very technical background ... It can be easily integrated with several data sources in a simple and consistent way and I find the interface to extract data on demand or send scheduled reports (Report Planner) excellent. good user experience with the drag and drop. . . versatility of the Live API to postgres, sql server and oracle databases. We use Cognos to deliver operational reports to all production units and great and very well presented reports and productivity indicators to senior managers
Minpunten
It is a very powerful tool but not as easy to understand quickly as other tools on the market for the same price .. The learning curve is broad. The initial configuration is not easy, the dashboard function does not have many options. Installation can also be a complicated issue and may require vendor support

It is good software but requires a learning curve
Pluspunten
The best thing about this software is that it is a complete package for your BI Solution. The software is good for Standard Reporting as well as Adhoc Reporting. The new Analytics software has dashboarding as well as storytelling.
Minpunten
Too Many client tools for the same purpose Like Transformer, FM, Dynamic Query Analyser, Data Manager and Decision Stream. Maintenance is the biggest thing.

I have been very pleased with it since getting over the giant hurdle that is learning how to do anything at all in the product.
Pluspunten
It can handle enormous amounts of data and allows a user to create extremely complex data models from almost any number of disparate sources
Minpunten
Super complex and difficult to learn. The least intuitive software I have ever used, and the help documentation is pretty much useless.

Overall I'm pretty happy with Cognos. It's a pretty phenominal tool for engineers and developers.
Pluspunten
I like that Cognos is incredibly intuitive. I can easily navigate through the program to finish coding and changing anything I need.
Minpunten
I sometimes struggle with coordinating upgrades and running up against other software/products. Some of that though is me.
