Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cognos Analytics
Indeed, our organizing work with this platform has increased the possibilities of risk assessment. It does not have variations in calculations when making various reports. Scheduling functionality has now made the preparation of risk reports periodic. Improved on the aspect of interorganizational relations between different teams and committees.
Pros
- This platform significantly differs because it uses AI to discover previously unknown patterns in data.
- Natural language querying lets users, especially those not very conversant with computers or information technology, process large databases.
- Self-service enables analysts to create, make, and distribute risk visualization in their own time without involving the technical department.
Cons
- The mobile experience is not as rich as it could be in the desktop one because some options are not available.
- Template creation for the first time is more challenging compared to other similar tools, but may not be a severe drawback.
- It is less than ideal to apply custom branding elements and see how those are being visualized in relationship to each other.
- The time taken to prepare the reports has been minimized.
- Hazard identification in their early stage has also enhanced.
- The first problem was related to data governance, with the need to introduce more restrictive access to the database.
The most useful features are the advanced drilling functionalities, which enable the user to analyze deeper into the result set. Conditional alerting functionalities track important factors. Interactive scenario analysis tools change the paradigm of stress testing. The report bursting feature disseminates various reports to customer's stakeholders.
These are capabilities that generally were not possible with the preceding platforms. The creation of a complex dashboard is performed in several hours rather than days. The integration of the data source in software has helped a lot in the assessment. The committee presentations have thus adopted the nature of an interactive exploration.
Tableau, Power BI, QlikView were the other options considered. Tableau lacked the following key components of business intelligence and analytics. Some other statistical functions that are available on the platform were not matched by Power BI. QlikView lacked robust scheduling. Among the features that define the platform, the security of data, focus on financial services, and the similarity of reports were most impressive.
