IBM Cognos Dashboard Embedded vs. Izenda

During the project development phase it becomes easier to visualize the code development in almost real time with charts and drop down and drag and drop features makes it really easy for the effective development process during different phases of the project. Dashboard itself is of great help with features like drag and drop and visualize the artifacts in real time as we are developing those. It wouldn't be very effective with high massive coding and huge coding projects as we may encounter performance issues.

With Izenda, we can offer our trusted users dashboards, generated custom reports, and ad-hoc reporting, right within our own operation. Integrating the Izenda tool directly into our usage meant that we were suitable to use a small corridor of Izenda as core functionality while reserving the more advanced sections of Izenda for guests willing to pay redundancy for the licensing.

• Easy to learn and apply in real time projects.
• Multiple query can be combined to generate simple and easy to understand reports.
• Mobile access feature helps to integrate with multiple devices.

Incentivized

• User and tenant management is excellent. It is very simple to implement and easy to manage.
• The configurability and customizability are excellent. We have access to all aspects of the system and have rebranded and configured single sign on. The users really like it.
• Reports and visualizations work. There's lots of flexibility and users enjoy creating reports themselves.

Incentivized

• How to do guide and there is definitely more training opportunity that company can offer
• Performance improvements can make the tool more efficient
• Can be more open to accept the external files

• It would be superb if power users were ready to input a SQL statement to create a knowledge set.
• The data source selection view while creating a replacement report.

With the help of Izenda, we are able to build a mature foundation that users can quickly customize to their needs. Once permissions are layered in, we can simply use the same report and only show fields a specific user has access to.

Izenda always provides great support to their users.

Lower costs—reduces maintenance due to complete report coverage and a zero-footprint environment. Ability to create complex, multi-page layouts using different data sources. Multiple export formats—Excel, Portable Document Format (PDF), Extensible Markup Language (XML), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), and Comma Separated Value (CSV).

Incentivized

We compared to other end user tools like Qlik, Tableau and Power BI. These tools are very refined but not positioned for OEM/Embedded use cases. The closest we came was logi and Birst and the price and business model of Izenda was much more appealing

Incentivized

• Effectively solves the project blockers by mitigating the integration challanges
• Monetary impact is not negatively impacted on the projects budgets
• Great ROI and positive impact on the business because of breath of features and great dashboard features

• One of the best user interfaces.
• Even a non-tech person can use it.
