"The comprehensiveness or broadness of the software functions or business intelligence functions that it provides is valuable. It is also quite easy to use and user-friendly."

With Cognos, we have dynamic reporting, and it has reduced both reporting and decision making times significantly. With the solution's dashboard, the company's management team has updated records at their fingertips. This means that they can directly access the data they need to make decisions."

"We need more predictive analytical functions, not only diagnostic or decryptic analytics."
"They should provide improved visual reporting."
"It would be better if it is was easier to implement without extensive training for it."
