Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cognos Analytics

We started using Cognos because we were looking for a tool to data mining, report and build dashboards, have been using for a couple of years and really helped our company. Our operations everyday transactions are processed effortlessly which allow valid, clean, and real data into our tool and producing great reports and dashboards.
  • Clean data
  • Produce ad-hoc reports
  • Dashboards
  • Data analysis
  • Marketing
  • Better Excel integration
  • Price
  • Reduced analysis time
  • Reduced uncertainty
  • Increased margins for cost savings
I believe the features before mentioned such as AI assistant have allow the tool to become more effective and helpful, suggestions and options are more customer related and tailored to specific situations.
In times like that that data and information security has become so critical, having IBM Cognos support that capabilities brings much peace of mind to the administrator, not to be confused to delegated the security to Cognos, the company must always be accountable for the security but in case of a breach it is always ideal that the solution offers an additional layer of security.
Having worked with the IBM Cognos reports for over 2 years we have discovered that being dynamic, personalized and accurate becomes a second nature.
