  • Performance
The University of Pittsburgh BI team continues to explore different BI and analytics platforms. Tableau was offered as a reporting tool to complement Cognos users.
It's easy to share within university users.
While IBM Cognos comes in various shapes and sizes depending on the needs and size of the organization, in reality the BI and analytics platform is best suited to large corporations.
