"Comparing IBM Cognos to other applications, once a person is trained on it or they have developed a skill set to operate the application, it is best in its category."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use, which makes it easily compatible with other tools."
"Cognos' most valuable features are the bundled studios, simple UI, and advanced features like the ability to create data modules."

"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It provides the ability to design applications directly."

"Compared to Tableau and PowerBI, the IBM interface is easier to use. However, the drag-and-drop functionality isn't as straightforward. Formatting is also more challenging in the cloud than in other applications, like Power BI. Also, if you encounter an issue, it takes more time to resolve it on the formatting side."
"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."
"It could have more options for themes."
"There are a lot of limitations with the out-of-the-box tool."
"The performance is a bottleneck and something that can be improved."
"They should provide improved visual reporting."
"The solution's support could be better."
"If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing."
