IBM Cognos Valuable Features
The main difference that I like about Cognos compared to other solutions is its data splitting functionality. We have all our company data inside the Cognos environment and so we prefer to split the information Cognos itself. It's more efficient this way.
Tableau and Power BI also have similar features, where they try to use graphic functionality to analyze the data. And yes, there are more people using these solutions than Cognos, but for us the most important thing is that both the data and the data splitting functionality are in one place.
The TM1 feature is good because it produces numbers automatically. In addition, it has Super Excel, and there are big groups with a lot of information calculated quickly.
IBM Cognos is easy to use and helps connect with databases and the data from our systems. It is also easy to learn and teach new team members.

Recently, Python scripting was added, and there will be opportunities to integrate AI into the system to help provide a better experience for management staff when forecasting sales.
