Powerful, Scalable Analytics with Interactive Dashboards and Strong Governance
What do you like best about the product?
The best aspect of using IBM Cognos Analytics that I am most fond of is the ease with which large sets of complicated data can be made sense of by way of interactive dashboards and reporting. In highly regulated, data-intensive environments such as fintech and health tech, centralized reporting and proper governance ensure better and more accurate decision-making.
Also worth noting is the AI-driven analytics and self-service reporting, making it easy for both technical and business personnel alike to find out trends without spending too much time on the actual data prepping process. Structured reporting is a forte of the solution, especially when it comes to operational, regulatory, and performance monitoring needs.
It also scores highly on the scalability and integration front, offering a great tool for building a more cohesive analytics landscape.

What do you dislike about the product?
Among the cons of IBM Cognos Analytics is the difficulty associated with its use, which can be perceived as resource-intensive. Even though it offers many great functions, the user may face issues regarding its complexity and the need for additional time to learn how to create reports and customize dashboards.
Another negative aspect of this system is related to the user interface that, while improved over time, may still be not intuitive as the interfaces of some of the more recently developed BI tools. Customization of the reports may require additional time and effort on the part of the user.
Last but not least, performance issues can be encountered when dealing with enormous volumes of data and sophisticated reports. In conclusion, it should be said that IBM Cognos Analytics is an outstanding solution for enterprise-level analytics, but it needs to be properly planned and tuned up.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM Cognos Analytics is one solution to the problem of reporting and decision-making that takes place within a complex set of data. Within industries such as fin-tech and health-tech, data comes from various sources, making it challenging for management to have a cohesive picture of their operations, compliance, and performance. Cognos integrates all of these data points and provides solutions in a centralized fashion that allow the team to see one source of truth.
We benefit from having better visibility and decision-making through Cognos. Reporting and analysis take less time and provide better governance over the sensitive data we collect. With dashboards, we have better visibility of our KPIs and performance. Cognos even offers AI-powered analytics to enhance insights and proactiveness.

Powerful reporting, data modeling, and strength of underlying platform (e.g. security, data support, etc.). New data containerization option.

Helps greatly with generating management and operational reports on a regular and consistent basis.
Great UI, Needs Better Usability

I use IBM Cognos Analytics mainly for dashboard and report making for clients, and I appreciate how it helps make my presentations better and easier to understand. I like the UI, and enjoy the basic features like making charts and the modeling feature, even if I don't use them frequently. I find that with IBM Cognos Analytics, I can do more than with Excel, and the visuals it provides are better for presenting.

Easy to use feature, it is not very easy and comfortable sometimes. Like Power BI has layout change and drag and drop.

I use IBM Cognos Analytics for dashboard and report making, which makes my presentations better and easier to understand.
Intuitive and Customizable Reporting with IBM Cognos Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
I majorly use IBM Cognos Analytics for reporting because it provides a clear pictorial representation of how the business is doing, helping C-level executives understand growth. I find it very easy to use and appreciate that it can be well customized to fit our needs. There are multiple options to choose from when designing dashboards, which makes building them easy. Additionally, there are plenty of different charts available to use for dashboard creation. The initial setup was not that complicated, which was a relief.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing which I feel is like, the look and feel should be made more linear. Something similar like Grafana. I tried to integrate it with an application, but somehow could not went through it.

IBM Cognos Analytics provides clear pictorial representations of business performance, helping C-level executives understand growth.
Comprehensive Order Insights, Needs Modern UI
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can pull the order history from a long time ago, like years, and have everything in Excel. I also appreciate being able to compare which transactions were big deals and which were small transactions and group them together. It's quite convenient for analyzing the data across different channels.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think all the layout could be a bit more modern. And like, sometimes, I need to, like, really wait for a couple of minutes until I get my report. So that could be a bit quicker.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use IBM Cognos Analytics to view full order history, including contacts, which I can't find on other platforms. It helps analyze and view data across different channels.
Great for Exploring Data and Sharing Polished Reports, but Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
That you can go from exploring data to building polished reports and sharing them across an organization, all within the same platform
What do you dislike about the product?
It feels heavier to use and less intuitive than other tools that may offers fewer features.

Having all the features in one tool makes things easier and saves me time, especially when I’m working through longer workflows.
Complicated Structure, Needs Modern Features
What do you like best about the product?
I like IBM Cognos Analytics because its interface is clear, making it easier to navigate. I also appreciate the great logging screen.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some solutions are outdated, the structure is complicated and not user-friendly. I'm lacking an option to see data in form of graphs. Adding particular reports is annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use IBM Cognos Analytics to analyze data and pull different reports.
Positive Experience but with Integration Limits
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the ability to adapt it to any type of program, even those that do not support artificial intelligence software. I like that it can learn what I do and suggest to me even before I ask it. I find it surprising to set up IBM Cognos Analytics.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it should improve more on communicating its own security, especially for those who use it for work. On the intelligence front, I think it is not yet able to independently access documents within the computer and suggest responses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think that IBM Cognos Analytics will help me work faster, complete tasks with greater accuracy, and analyze documents like invoices more effectively.
A Business Beast That Delivers Inspirations.
What do you like best about the product?
Dramatic force in a shell of heritage. It lacks the bling of newer BI products, but where size matters and large quantities of data are required to be processed, it is a beast. Stable, heavy, and industrial grade, although, at times, it seems heavier than it needs to be. The pixel-perfect and governance is unparalleled. Bursting is supported with row-level security to thousands of users and is better addressed here than anywhere. It also honors data hierarchy, which is not negotiable to us.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile experience is poor. Responsive dashboarding has too much manual tweaking to be attractive on tablets relative to indigenous mobile BI applications. The desktop-to-mobile translation is seldom a 1:1 translation without meddling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Four regions consolidated quarterly sales forecasting. The capability of the ability to create disparate data sources into one trusted module enabled us to determine a 15% difference in product categorizing that the missing capability of Excel had hidden over the years.
Excellent for Creating Dashboards and Reports
What do you like best about the product?
The best about IBM cognos analytics is to create dashboards and reports for analysis data.
