Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"The dashboarding offered by this solution is very valuable to us."
"Mapbox integration for geospatial analytics down to longitude/latitude layers."
"Cognos' most valuable features are the bundled studios, simple UI, and advanced features like the ability to create data modules."
"This solution allows you to input a wide range of file formats."
"For planning, forecasting, in-boxing, modeling in general and for predicting numbers and doing work analysis, they are excellent."
"The most valuable feature is developing reports from different data sources, making it a reliable data source."
"Report Studio: This is the most powerful and sophisticated tool for professional reporting."
"When it comes to decision-making, the product is very useful and used in many departments since a lot of people prefer the reports to be generated by IBM Cognos."
"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."
"This product could use improvement in terms of usability for those with less technical know how."
"There are a lot of limitations with the out-of-the-box tool."
"Chart quality: many other competitors have charts and graphics that look much better and that provide dynamic effects. Cognos doesn't."
"The technical support team’s response time is slow and needs to be improved."
"They should provide improved visual reporting."
"I would like for the platform to become more standard. If we make a development on our report and our dashboard, it will not be used in another solution. That means there is no portability for the developers."
"Data modeling needs to be improved. We use the ETL process, and when we get errors, we then need to identify which structural change is required. The error messaging should be better. They should be descriptive rather than semantic."
"I would like them to reinclude PowerPlay. One thing that I am missing in the current Cognos is what was formally named PowerPlay. They have basically removed PowerPlay from it, which is something that I fail to understand because it was the most wonderful tool for business intelligence that I've ever used. As far as I know, they don't provide this functionality anymore, so this is one thing that I dislike about Cognos."
