Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cognos
We were looking for a product to give us some great BI information and analytics. We did a POC of several different companies and chose to go with IBM. Their product is streamlined, easy to use and very modular. Several key departments first championed the product and once the reporting architecture was deployed, many other adopters started to use this product.
- Reporting Analytics - Able to customize our reports depending on the reader and audience.
- Business Key Intelligence with API - Able to interconnect it with multiple data sources.
- Structural and maneuverable - The GUI is easy to transition from one screen to another and readable data keys
- Pricing - You get what you pay for? We wanted to best and therefor you have to pay a little more. But we love it.
- Structured Support - Tier pricing on support, domestic vs. international.
Cost wise, the above products are less expensive and offer tons more upfront, but you will pay for it on the back end. They have vendor limitations and their support mechanism was inline for what we wanted.
