"Cognos' most valuable features are the bundled studios, simple UI, and advanced features like the ability to create data modules."
"The most valuable features of IBM Cognos are governance and enterprise reporting."

"Cognos charts are not as fast as those of the other tools, even with DQM (dynamic query mode)."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say, monitoring, monitoring, monitoring. Some improvements in monitoring would be helpful. I'd like to see more monitoring of specific reports and fields. The way the auditing is now is very limited, so I'd like to see more of that - of the monitoring."
"This product could use improvement in terms of usability for those with less technical know how."
"It would be better if it is was easier to implement without extensive training for it."
"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."
"The charts and graphics are weak."
"IBM Support can be slow at times, but they can usually deliver in a timely manner."
"Extending dynamic cubes aggregate awareness with calculated measures."
"Graphics are limited and could be improved."
