Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cognos Analytics

We use IBM Cognos Analytics extensively in our data research. Our research is primarily based on the data input of demographics of our customers / potential customers, and what kind of services can be best offered to them. We have a bulk of data from the customers using our portfolio management and investment banking services, and IBM Cognos Analytics helps us get meaningful information out of that data
  • Charts!
  • Dashboard reporting
  • Assigning of roles and rights to users
  • Speed
  • User interface
  • Better conversions
  • Better strategy on investments
I feel the self-service capabilities are the best part about this tool. Big data usually comes with challenges of cleaning and streamlining the data, which is done easily and mostly automatically by IBM Cognos Analytics. Also, plain English commands make the tool extremely user friendly and very less time is wasted in learning the software.
The level-wise controls and access management work smoothly. We have a big team using this software, and everyone's access and role rights are efficiently and easily managed through the tool.
The reports can be generated in whatever fashion one desires, along with a lot of graphs and charts. The reports can be put on to a dashboard for the users who need it, and can also be easily exported in desired formats.

Do you think IBM Cognos Analytics delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with IBM Cognos Analytics's feature set?

Yes

Did IBM Cognos Analytics live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of IBM Cognos Analytics go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy IBM Cognos Analytics again?

Yes

It is very well suited for us when we have a lot of data which we need to present into a meaningful information. It also helps junior resources in the company to also play an important role in data analytics - plain English commands help in that.
I guess it would be less appropriate for smaller organisations with less quantum of data.
