Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."For planning, forecasting, in-boxing, modeling in general and for predicting numbers and doing work analysis, they are excellent."
"IBM Cognos is an excellent solution for tax, planning, budgeting, profit and loss statements and balance sheets."
"A positive feature is Report Studio, where we create beautiful, complex reports."
"I have worked on the features like dashboards and stories, and I do like them a lot."
"We use the account statement report. When you use an account in HSBC, you receive various types of accounts, such as the stock market, fixed accounts, credit cards, and business accounts. We can create one consolidated report called CCS support, which includes all these accounts. In that statement, we are consolidating all those accounts."
"A drag-and-drop interface for selecting creating ad hoc reports makes this product very easy to use."
"It is a stable product."
"The Report Studio that is aimed at professional report writers."
"One feature I found really cool was the Conformance Engine."
"The interface is simplified and easy to use."
"I have found Software AG ARIS Process Mining scalable."
"It is very easy to work on the way the ETL happens in ARIS Process Mining."
"It is a stable solution...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten...On a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the setup a nine."
"The visualization aspect needs to be improved and I believe, this is being resolved in upcoming versions."
"The solution's support could be better."
"I would like to see is more easy building, movement in the reports, and dashboard functionality within reporting. Overall more simple elements within reports. If the elements are simple then you don't have to render a full page, but you can move separate parts in the page."
"Extending features on dashboards so it becomes a real dashboard building application, not only a data exploration tool."
"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."
"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."
"They were lacking in the initial phases of development in the area of big data, and they still need to improve that aspect of the product."
"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."
"When the process models are transferred back to the design environment for further optimization and simulations, we need to see some improvements in the way the models get created in the design."
"Customizing KPIs and building dashboards were not as intuitive as other similar tools."
"The installation is straightforward, we didn't have any technical issues with installing. However, we needed support to complete the implementation."
"I guess we have many unnecessary steps within our processes. There is room for automation and room for enhancement within our application portfolio management...In short, I would like to eliminate unnecessary steps in some processes in this solution."
"There should be a single site for modeling and mining."
