Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cognos Analytics

I used Cognos for my reporting and dashboarding to create, modify, delete for different teams and applications within the organization. The clients were mostly insurance based and required scheduling and troubleshooting services with respect to Cognos. Query studio was used for ad hoc reporting or one time use reports, while Report Studio was used for complex and demanding reports that will be used for a long duration.
  • Reporting Tabular Format
  • Arrangement and Alignment
  • Ad Hoc Reporting.
  • Access to multiple datasets and restrictions based control
  • Dashboarding and multiple charts
  • Performance
  • Involvement of statistics
  • Easy to use functions
  • Easier to create reports
  • Easy to assign roles and give access to AD
  • Simplified tools for scheduling and maintaining reports
They are better in Dashboarding and performance analysis.
Yes it did and if the code was simplified also with integration of multiple UI then it would be a great product that users can use in their businesses
In enables better data governance structure by having regulated access to reports and dashboards of who can access the data with better row level security enabled. Quality of data is highly dependent on how we get the data and make relationships with different tables and databases so it is subjective.
Because I have used all of this features and it fits perfectly

Reporting whose demands are not too high but simple tabulated format which can be used for over several years. Also adhoc reporting using Query Studio is better in making short time reports. Other options where it lacks is Dashboarding where I would prefer Tableau or PowerBI
