Professional dataviz tool which ensures a unique experience to expertsor first-time business...
We have been using Cognos BI for many years for data reporting and performance analysis. Our business analysts were constantly complaining about the long delays to get data extracts. Withe Cognos Analytics we were in a position to give the BA access to pertinent data extracts in record time and with minimum hands-on training. This empowered them and allowed them to spend more time on building predictions and preparing recommendations for corrective actions.
Vorteile
The quick learning curve which turns every intuition into a positive experience
Nachteile
The story telling capabilities are not seamless enough and consume too much efforts to be reach the desired effect.

Cognos - Fantastic In Some Areas; Lags In Others
It’s a means to an end. Not perfect, but no tool is. Pretty much everyone I know in the industry operates in a multi-tool BI environment. Cognos, like most, hasn’t been able to put together the full package.
Vorteile
Pixel perfect printing. Most competitors have tagged printing as a way of the past, but there’s still a half generation that relies heavily upon it. This can’t be overlooked.
Nachteile
The flexibility/functionality of the viz tools can’t compete with competitors. I think it also has a more difficult learning curve. It isn’t an intuitive tool.

IBM Cognos Analytics 11
Cognos Analytics is currently meeting our financial and operational reporting needs.
Vorteile
We like the ability to create custom reports to meet user requirements. This includes being able to link data coming from databases using Cognos Framework Manager, plus the ability to create SQL select queries within Cognos that pull data directly from custom SQL objects. We also appreciate that Cognos Analytics still supports the use of Portals that we created in a previous version of the product. Other features that we appreciate are Bursting, Conditional Styling and Rendering, Exports to Excel and PDF, and drill-through reports, to name a few.
Nachteile
Crosstabs could use more features and provide more flexibility in formatting.

Excellent software is easy to implement and use.
I utilized it to complete projects as part of my Coursera studies; it is taught step by step, and cloud computing was much more familiar to me. On a monthly basis, we do key reconciliations to predict, and reports allow us to record all data pieces. IBM Cognos Analytics recognizes business demands and improves job productivity; it can manage big volumes of data; and it makes it extremely simple for all departments to build reports to see the data. While reporting, you may effortlessly combine numerous searches or arrange your data; no background or technical expertise is necessary.
Vorteile
The software is highly intuitive since it recognizes the demands of the business and promotes work productivity; it can manage a big quantity of data and allows all departments to easily build reports to examine the data. While reporting, you may effortlessly combine numerous searches or arrange your data; no background or technical expertise is necessary. The process is quite fluid, and compared to other cloud services I've tried, IBM Cognos offers a well-designed interface that is simple to educate personnel on. Reports give significant detail that can be exported and edited to explain crucial choices. They are simple to run and compatible with office applications.
Nachteile
Reports may take some time to execute depending on their size; reporting software may include cautions about where students committed errors and the report will not run; alternatively, more thorough instructions for new employees are provided. You obviously require proper training, and anyone who aren't familiar with SQL will struggle to put it up. I've been seeing some delays while switching sites or loading materials, but I appreciate IBM's ability to work on this issue.

Enterprise Reporting and Analytics Tool
It has been a solid tool for our company for last so many years. IT meets out current needs in terms of performance and capabilities. However, as we start exploring more cutting edge technologies like cloud, SAAS and Advanced Analytics, we see the tool is not in the top 3.
Vorteile
Well established took with huge user base and support. Being IBMs main BI tool, it comes with a lot of Support and Knowledge Base. There are tons of supporting products for Advanced Analytics, Visualization and AI/ML which makes the tool both powerful and versatile. It fits into both departmental BI as well as for Enterprise wide reporting.
Nachteile
IBM should increase the support the provide for their products. It is difficult to get quick help from IBM.Self service features of the tool and not as easy as other contemporary tools like Tableau and Qlikview. IBM has catching up to do in this area. Also cloud based SAAS is not yet advanced for COGNOS.

Great capabilities, but really difficult to use practically.
Vorteile
Cognos Analytics has really great capabilities. There is so much that you can do with the framework if you know what you're doing. Good security features. Good for enterprise level reporting.
Nachteile
If you're hoping this will replace a dedicated reporting team or IT team, it will not. The ease of use depends on several factors and be SURE that you have an experienced team built the framework. No support whatsoever from Cognos themselves for end users, and they take a long time to get back to us on issues. The new visualizations can be clunky, especially maps. They are unusable for detailed maps. Scheduling features slow down the system considerably.

Cognos Review
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.
Vorteile
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.
Nachteile
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.

This report writer is linked to our accounting software.
Vorteile
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.
Nachteile
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
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.
Vorteile
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.
Nachteile
The version of Cognos we are running currently makes it difficult to pinpoint the bottle-neck of certain reports.

Powerful tool for the good analysis of your data. can get quick information for quick decisions
Vorteile
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
Nachteile
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

My limited experience and exposure has been good. Works well for a casual user (assuming an admin did a good job setting up and maintaining)
Vorteile
Once set up, the end user can easily get into advanced reports and simply navigate as needed to get information in a repeatable manner.
Nachteile
There are some odd, not intuitive quirks; however, I presume that’s a consequence of an organizations configuration and less about the software

Nachteile
Not easy to create a report, some reports will stop working for no reason, they just will spin and not generate. Difficult to change the layout and information.

Integrazione di analisi e reporting
IBM Cognos Analytics permette di avere una soluzione integrata per la data analysis, il report e la visualizzazione. La presenza del AI permette di ricavare notevoli informazioni dai dati e consente alle aziende di prendere decisioni informate. Software molto accurato e veloce nei calcoli che può essere usato anche da utenti meno esperti. Tutti questi aspetti rendono la mia esperienza positiva e mi permettono di consigliarlo a molte delle società per cui ho fatto consulenza.
Vorteile
Una delle cose che mi piace di più è l’interfaccia intuitiva. IBM Cognos Analytics è user friendly e facile da navigare, il che rende accessibile il software a tutti i livelli di esperienza e competenza. È datato di un grande quantità di opzioni di visualizzaIone che consento di analizzare ed esplorare i dati da vari punti di vista.
Notevole la capacità di IBM Cognos Analytics di gestire velocemente grandi quantità di dati. Gli algoritmi d’analisi presenti permetto di svolgere approfondimenti velocemente risparmiando tempo prezioso.
Nachteile
Il costo risulta eccessivamente elevato, specialmente se paragonato ai competitor. Questo mi impedisce di suggerire ad alcuni miei clienti di piccole dimensioni di adottare questa soluzione, anche se per loro sarebbe operativamente la migliore.

Ottimo software di BI dalle notevoli capacità di reporting
L’uso prevalente che personalmente faccio di IBM Cognos Analytics è quello della creazione di report. In particolare creo report finanziari di dettaglio per i miei clienti, al fine di evidenziare, ad esempio, l’andamento delle vendite in diverse aree geografiche o per diverse linee di business. Uso Cognos anche per definire dashboard interattive utili a montare in tempo reale le performance finanziare, queste dashboard includono KPI come fatturato o margine operativo. L’attività di reportistica risulta molto semplice in Cognos sia per la sua capacità di collegarsi a più fonti dati, sia per la possibilità di manipolare il dato mediante query SQL.
Vorteile
IBM Cognos Analytics, software di BI, dispone di una suite completa di funzionalità di reporting, dashboarding, data exploration e data modeling. Il modulo reporting, che utilizzo di frequente, il quale ha un motore basato su SQL, permette di creare report dettagliati, utilizzando input multi-fonte, e disponendo i dati in modo strategico grazie alla possibilità di manipolarli con query SQL. Un altro modulo che utilizzo è quello di dashboarding, che permette di creare dashboard di sintesi con widget interattivi. IBM Cognos Analytics non dispone di sole funzionalità di reporting, ma grazie al modulo explorations è in grado di analizzare un grande quantità di dati ed identificarne pattern nascosti con l’uso di algoritmi di machine learning, i quali sono in grado di suggerire anche la miglior tipologia di visualizzazione di dati per identificarne dei legami.
Nachteile
IBM Cognos Analytics ha un ammanco nella gestione della governare, elemento necessario in un software di BI. Infatti il software non dispone di opzioni per gestire il ciclo di vita dei dati, elemento fondamentale per organizzazione di un certo livello con dimensione ragguardevoli.

Dati a supporto del Business
All’interno di alcuni istituti bancari, in qualità di consulente, mi sono ritrovata ad utilizzare IBM Cognos Analytics al fine di monitorare la redditività di alcune branch della banca, individuare zone di miglioramento e definire le azioni da intraprendere per aumentare la redditività in base alle analisi dei dati. In particolare il software è stato utile per monitorare i KPI di ogni brand dell’istituto, definendone le prestazioni in modo oggettivo sulla base del numero di conti aperti e del numero di prestiti (o in generale prodotti) venduti. Una volta individuate le branch più deboli è stato necessario analizzare il tasso di propensione alla chiusura del conto, di prepayment del prestito e la tipologia di clientela, per identificarne le caratteristiche. Delineato il profilo della clientela, e forniti alcuni report al reparto marketing, sono state strutturare campagne e prodotti ad hoc. Con Cognos, infine, è stato monitorato l’andamento delle campagne, evidenziandone l’efficacia e costruiti dei report da presentare al management.
Vorteile
IBM Cognos Analytics è una soluzione di Business Intelligence, basata sul cloud, che grazie alle funzioni Self Service permette ai reparti business di un azienda, solitamente composti da soggetti non tecnici, di accedere ai dati ed effettuare sugli stessi semplici, ma efficaci, analisi e creare report personalizzati di dettaglio. In linea generale Cognos Analytics, il quale è in grado di connettersi a diverse tipologie di database, permette di pulire i dati e crearne dei modelli utili ad implementare report o dashboard. I report e le dashboard interattive presentano un elevato grado di personalizzazione e risultano semplici da creare mediante funzioni di drag & drop. In tal modo i report business di un azienda possono monitorare i KPI e prendere decisioni informati sui dati.
Nachteile
IBM Cognos Analytics consente di effettuare, tendenzialmente, semplici analisi dei dati. Per andare maggiormente in profondità è necessario integrarlo con altri prodotti IBM, come IBM Watson Studio, con relativo incremento del costo delle licenze per le aziende.

Pianificazione e Analisi Aziendale
L'uso di IBM Cognos Analytics si è rilevato utile quando è stato necessario ottenere molteplici informazioni da grandi quantità di dati per pianificare budget. In questo ha aiutato l'ampio portafoglio di strumenti analitici (OLAP, data mining, e simulazione di scenari). In particolare usando Cognos TM1, ho potuto simulare scenari diversi e comprendere l'impatto sul budget.
Vorteile
IBM Cognos Analytics contiene un insieme di strumenti di business intelligence che lo rendono discretamente completo. Il software offre molteplici modalità di analisi dei dati, tra cui reportistica, OLAP, data mining, pianificazione e simulazione di scenari. La piattaforma ha uno strumento di progettazione di report wysiwyg ed efficaci funzionalità per la pianificazione e il budgeting. IBM Cognos Analytics è disponibile in modalità ibrida e può essere implementato on-premise o come soluzione cloud.

Full-featured, slightly behind the curve.
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.
Vorteile
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.
Nachteile
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.

My Review of IBM Cognos Analytics
I use IBM Cognos daily, as this is the tool made available by SAP Concur to work with Business Intelligence reports. I use it to provide the necessary information to those who require it, and it works more or less like a database, where you can apply SQL language - but in a slightly different format.
Vorteile
I think this tool is quite good, since it allows the user several functionalities: create and adapt BI reports, automate the export of a report in a set period and for the necessary containers (they do not need a license to receive), etc. . I love working with this tool from IBM. It allows some SQL language, and some configuration features that are very good too.
Nachteile
One thing I can point out as a cons of this tool, is the fact that it does not always return the correct information (because the user, without knowing it, can mix incompatible information) - and only at a more advanced stage do we notice that the information is not correct - because we have no error information.
When we actually have information about the errors, this is also not very detailed, that is, we are left without knowing what the error is anyway. It is difficult to make correct associations in this tool, because it is very restricted in relation to the use of the database and the compatibility of the data between them.

Used to be good, showing age
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.
Vorteile
The latest versions have improved the report writer experience by consolidating a few of the modules. Generally robust at connecting to single data sources.
Nachteile
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.

Powerful, Reliable, Expensive
I've been working with IBM Cognos since version 8.4
I like this product and see how IBM is improving it.
Vorteile
It's been a long on the market.
It's offered by IBM
It has a great integration with many databases
Nachteile
New version (CA 11) has some inconvenient UI changes (new side panel which does not allow to easily navigate and see all properties)
Many things need to be done manually instead of integrating as best practices (security, deployments, testing, version control, etc.)
New studios are not that intuitive / transparent

Great Analytics Tool
Overall, I would recommend using Cognos Analytics for data analysis. My whole company uses it from daily reporting to more advanced analyses.
Vorteile
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.
Nachteile
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.

Complete Package for your Analytical Solution
It is good software but requires a learning curve
Vorteile
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.
Nachteile
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 recommended this SW of BI to a company that had several departments to connect and collab...
uses multidimensional and relational data source transforming data into metadata, Cognos is a complete platform for data experts
Vorteile
It is a very complete software already from the basic version (it already offers the map graph). it allows real-time monitoring useful also for predictive analysis. It allows you to work anywhere even offline, producing interactive reports being able to consult them even without connection. It's easy to use even without having followed a specific training program. Charts that can be customized at the the maximum level (so complete from this point of view).
Nachteile
Not captivating and innovative graphics with the times (it seems like an office pack years 2000). when the graphics are very complex they are difficult to display on web pages, they do not always fit. there isn't a feature where you can search where a particular data field is located/stored. The scheduler it's not easy to use and automating the sending of static reports to users is not easy

Cognos - A good Enterprise Reporting Tool
I used Cognos as an analytical tool by linking our ERP (Microsoft Dynamic NAV) to it. All the financial data would be mapped & a lot of customized reports were taken out like Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The user interface is pretty good. The CUBEs are little confusing but once you get the grip they work very well. The ability to drill down the reports to very basic level is a plus point
A little tough to learn & customize. It's a little slow when dealing with a medium amount of data.
Vorteile
Easily integrating with most of the ERPs, very good for customizing reports, very detailed reporting
Nachteile
Tough to learn & not many resources available, you will get the value of the money invested in it only if you are able to get the most out of it

Invaluable Business Intelligence
Data is extremely vital to any organization and the ability to generate useful reports and dashboards on demand across multiple sources is invaluable.
Vorteile
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.
Nachteile
Report building was intuitive for a power user but average users found it overwhelming. This just meant a bit more training from my department.

IBM Cognos Review
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.
Vorteile
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.
Nachteile
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.

COGNOS
Cognos makes it easy to design reports that match the look-and-feel required by the client. Report rendering time is also very fast. Browser support can be touchy and Dynamic Cubes are very hardware intensive.Cognos has strong out of the box capabilities with a wide array of add-ons, and good interoperability with other IBM analytics and data suites
Vorteile
Compatibility mode queries allow for custom ODBC and JDBC connection to made, so even if there is no native compatibility other databases can still be used as a source if needed.
Dynamic Cubes are capable of querying against millions of rows in seconds when properly set up with sufficient hardware resources.
Standard Reports are snappy, returning data and rendering quickly, as long as the pagination is kept to reasonable quantities.
Nachteile
Due to Active Reports packaging all of the data in the file and prerendering charts, file size can get quite large (easily several megabytes) and the initial load time can be quite long when opening it. It is best used for basic overviews and other times when some "flash" is needed, but not a large amount of data.
Configuring the interoperability with TM1 and SPSS is a little more on the technical side than most other tasks.
You could call the development process "Front heavy" meaning most of the development will be modeling. This means that it will take longer to end up with visualized data than other tools.

valuable yet expensive
overall its good and it is one of the initiators in the reporting market. We are still using it and find it quite useful to fulfill our client requirements.
Vorteile
you can combine multiple queries in one report to create your desired report, which can be formatted in multiple ways to meet your desired structure.
Nachteile
its little bit tricky to handle. You need to understand it thoroughly which actually takes time to began working with it from scratch. Also lacks the graphics and user interface.
