Alternatives Considered

Microsoft BI (MSBI)

Microsoft BI has many performance issues while working on simultaneous projects or heavy code based projects. That is not an issue with BM Cognos. Lack of some very useful features like drop /down/drag makes it very effective against Microsoft BI. Support for IBM Cognos is more promptly available as compared to Microsoft with less hoops to follow.

Likelihood to Recommend

During the project development phase it becomes easier to visualize the code development in almost real time with charts and drop down and drag and drop features makes it really easy for the effective development process during different phases of the project. Dashboard itself is of great help with features like drag and drop and visualize the artifacts in real time as we are developing those.
It wouldn't be very effective with high massive coding and huge coding projects as we may encounter performance issues.

Simple tool with great features , easy to create different format wireframes in real time.
