IBM Cognos Dashboard Embedded vs. Keen IO

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.

To run more visual, analytical models, it is great. Leave the statistics to your other programs.

• 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

• It has been great for configuring and representing data trends for our own company as well as our clients.
• It is very helpful for viewing and understanding trends within our own datasets without being too overwhelming
• The user interface is very streamlined and doesn't take too long to learn so there isn't a lot of time wasted.

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

• Cost is a little much for something we could do in house, given, it would take us much longer
• Would be better to be more compatible with other analytical software
• Could improve on code editing capabilities

Incentivized

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

They have minor similarities, so they are not easily comparable. Keen is one of a kind and does not have a great alternative. It just needs a little work and developers will be addicted to it.

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
