We performed a comparison between IBM Cognos and Software AG ARIS Process Mining based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, SAP and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."Previously, we were doing static reporting. Management would request a report, and it would take staff a week or more to provide it. 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."
"The three IBM Cognos features I find the most valuable are Dynamic Cubes, PowerPlay, and Watson."
"Dashboarding, reporting, and ad hoc reporting are the valuable features of IBM Cognos."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Cognos is security. The solution has updated features that other competitors' solutions come out with long after IBM Cognos has had them."
"The correlation analysis is excellent. It's one of the best that I have used to date."
"IBM Cognos offers tools so that you can design and develop your own test queries and reporting solutions."
"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 Report Studio that is aimed at professional report writers."
"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."
"The interface is simplified and easy to use."
"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."
"One feature I found really cool was the Conformance Engine."
"Most of our company's customers want to be able to deploy IBM Cognos on a web application and use it as a desktop application, which is not possible currently."
"Cognos is quite slow - it's missing the performance of the PowerPlay cubes."
"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."
"The visualization aspect needs to be improved and I believe, this is being resolved in upcoming versions."
"The high cost of a license makes it hard to scale up on a budget."
"The tool needs to improve the connectivity since I see that, at times, there is a need to increase the memory in the database."
"IBM Support can be slow at times, but they can usually deliver in a timely manner."
"Cognos charts are not as fast as those of the other tools, even with DQM (dynamic query mode)."
"The installation is straightforward, we didn't have any technical issues with installing. However, we needed support to complete the implementation."
"There should be a single site for modeling and mining."
"Customizing KPIs and building dashboards were not as intuitive as other similar tools."
"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."
"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."
