Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."I've primarily worked with CCH Tagetik as a consultant, handling implementations and not providing day-to-day user support. I initially appreciated the unified platform, the Ownership Structure Register, which benefits certain entities. The workflow feature is great, but it can become overly detailed and lacks clear guidance on design. The solution is good in terms of storage."
"The most valuable feature of CCH Tagetik is form creation."
"Has an APM, which deals with the details of data and has calculation functions included."
"I appreciate its user-friendliness, especially for business users who may not be very tech-savvy."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We are able to generate quality reports easily which allows us to decrease response time."
"The most valuable features are Report Development (Functionality) and Information Distribution (Flexibility)."
"We use IBM Cognos for enterprise analytics and reporting."
"Cognos' most valuable features are the bundled studios, simple UI, and advanced features like the ability to create data modules."
"A positive feature is Report Studio, where we create beautiful, complex reports."
"This solution allows you to input a wide range of file formats."
"If they want dashboarding, storytelling, and analyzing why KPIs are met or not, then Cognos is a better candidate than Qlik Sense."
"We faced difficulties while uploading data."
"Analytics function is weak. Other products have sum(irate) function and forecasting help function, but Tagetik does not have this clarity."
"There is room for improvement, especially on the settings side of the solution."
"The tool's major drawback is the ETL process, which is not up to par with other solutions."
"I would like to have predictive and forecasting capabilities in Cognos. It's one thing to do reporting, and another thing to easily predict or forecast certain data points, which is very important for all the clients."
"The solution's support could be better."
"Tableau and Power BI are faster than Cognos."
"I don't like that when we use Colab packages, we get less functionality. For example, you can make groups of data with Excel or with the data sets from the packages, but when you use the Colab packages directly, you can only group the data when you analyze it with Analysis Studio. I think Cognos needs to improve more on this functionality."
"There are some small features that are missing. It would be nice if the graphics were better. You can use external sources for charts, but it's quite complex to use and not easy to implement. If you want a new chart, you can download it from multiple tools and implement it into IBM Cognos."
"Cognos charts are not as fast as those of the other tools, even with DQM (dynamic query mode)."
"We would like to see development of the product's UI function, to make it more of a UI tool that can be configured as required."
"One key area for improvement is the need to improve the self-service nature and functionality of the product in terms of visual analytics."
