Improved the quality of our KPIs, while reducing calls to the IT department

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. The user experience is also very important. Cognos is not very easy to understand sometimes, especially when they change the layout but keep the functionality the same. The help is not very graphic and they have no examples. Cognos has to make a big effort to help with understanding the functionality by improving the documentation. There is a lot of documentation, but the examples are hard to find and they should make their help section easier to understand for non-technical users.

Helpful for visualization purposes but delayed drill-downs feature

We used it to analyze customer usage data within our application. We were consolidating data on user behavior and status, then presenting it to different audiences, such as executives and account managers. For building executive dashboards, especially when you don't require extensive drill-downs…

Provides all the frameworks and makes it easy to create environments for multiple projects

I have been very enthusiastic about artificial intelligence and machine learning since my first year. I started learning Python in my first year and was using a MacBook with the M1 chip, which didn't have native Python support. I discovered Anaconda, which developed Python for Mac, so I started…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"One of the strong suits of Cognos is its robust corporate reporting capability."

"Cognos is the best application with dashboards,batch reporting, jobs, events and ad-hoc reporting for business users."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use, which makes it easily compatible with other tools."

"The basic platform comes with several meta-modelling tools."

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"Mapbox integration for geospatial analytics down to longitude/latitude layers."

"It is a stable product."

More IBM Cognos pros

"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."

"Amazon QuickSight has introduced a new functionality called Q bar, which allows the user to do natural language queries and get additional insights using some built-in generative capabilities."

"It has a lot of valuable features, but the most important aspect is the affordable cost. This solution costs much less in comparison to the competitors like Qlik Sense, Power BI, and Tableau."

"Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage."

"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."

"It works well with the AWS ecosystem."

"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."

"It is fine for basic reporting."

More Amazon QuickSight pros

"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."

"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."

"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."

"The documentation is excellent and the solution has a very large and active community that supports it."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its cloud-based nature, allowing accessibility from anywhere. Additionally, using Jupyter Notebook makes it easy to handle bugs and errors."

"With Anaconda Navigator, we have been able to use multiple IDEs such as JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, Spyder, Visual Studio Code, and RStudio in one place. The platform-agnostic package manager, "Conda", makes life easy when it comes to managing and installing packages."

"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."

"The solution is stable."

More Anaconda pros

Cons

"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."

"The AI-based features could be further enhanced by the solution."

"It could have more options for themes."

"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."

"I need improvements, particularly with the Framework Manager, which has an outdated user interface from older versions like IBM Cognos 10 or 8. Additionally, the Event Studio, which offered great flexibility in previous versions, is no longer available in IBM Cognos Analytics 12. These are areas that could be improved to enhance the product."

"The charts and graphics are weak."

"The high cost of a license makes it hard to scale up on a budget."

More IBM Cognos cons

"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."

"The cost of queries is very high."

"It is a simple tool with limited features. Its visualization set is very limited, and it also has limited functionality. An intelligence tool should not be only for creating reports. Currently, we have to do all computational and mathematical operations outside. We should be able to do such operations in an intelligence tool like this. As an intelligence tool, it should support dynamic refresh. QuickSight currently supports the refresh at a minimum of one hour, and it is not suitable for dynamic dashboards that require frequent refreshes."

"The solution must be more user-friendly."

"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."

"There should be better connectors for different data sets."

"It can be made more user-friendly as some users might find this solution hard to implement. Qlik Sense, for example, is very user-friendly."

"An area for improvement in Amazon QuickSight is storage. Data cleanup also needs improvement because I'm experiencing errors when cleaning the data. Amazon QuickSight needs video tutorials showing its different functions and purposes."

More Amazon QuickSight cons

"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."

"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."

"Anaconda could benefit from improvement in its user interface to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Currently, it's boring."

"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."

"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."

"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."

"A lot of people and companies are investing in creating automated data cleaning and processing environments. Anaconda is a bit behind in that area."

"It also takes up a lot of space."

More Anaconda cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"IBM Cognos offers competitive pricing similar to other BI vendors in the market."

"Cognos is super expensive compared to Tableau ($70/month) and Power BI ($20/month) — I think Cognos is roughly $200 a month."

"There is some additional licensing that we needed to purchase because we were touching data outside of our core data platform. The cost was approximately $25,000 for the additional licenses, which were approximate 45 licenses. For the application itself, updates, and the core platform it was approximately $50,000. Giving a total cost of $75,000 annually for our usage of IBM Cognos."

"IBM Cognos is priced reasonable. However, it is more expensive than Power BI and Tableau."

"There is a standard license required to use this solution. There are some additional tools but I am not sure if they are an extra cost."

"It's more expensive than similar solutions like Tableau and Power BI."

"The licensing costs are a little bit higher for IBM Cognos. I don't think there is any additional cost apart from the licensing charges."

"My company uses IBM Cognos with another IBM product, so I think only one license is used."

More IBM Cognos pricing and cost advice

"Amazon QuickSight you subscribe and you use the service."

"The Amazon QuickSight licensing model my company's on is pay-as-you-go, but I wouldn't be able to give the figures because that's handled by the finance department."

"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."

"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."

"The solution's pricing is cheaper than the other products in the market."

"The pricing is cost-effective with a good plan."

"I'm using a paid version of Amazon QuickSight, paying about $22 monthly. As I have yet to learn about the pricing for other tools, such as Power BI, I won't be able to compare."

"The solution is not affordable."

More Amazon QuickSight pricing and cost advice

"Anaconda is free to use, but in terms of hardware costs, you might need heavy GPUs to run CUDA and other demanding tasks."

"The licensing costs for Anaconda are reasonable."

"The product is open-source and free to use."

Overview

IBM Cognos Business Intelligence provides a wide range of tools to help you analyze your organization's data. IBM Cognos BI allows businesses to monitor events and metrics, create and view business reports, and analyze data to help them make effective business decisions.

IBM Cognos applies techniques to describe, summarize, and compare data, and draw conclusions. This allows users to see trends and discover anomalies or variances that may not be evident by simply reading data. Data sources that contain information from different areas of a business can be stored in separate packages. Users can see only information that they have been granted access to, based on their group or role.

IBM Cognos BI consolidates the following business intelligence functions into a single web-based solution:

IBM Cognos Insight: Create personal and managed workspaces for data analysis. Using these interactive workspaces, you can share insight results with managers. Cognos Insight supports write-back, and you can also use these workspaces to capture and integrate management goals, commitments, and forecasts.
IBM Cognos Workspace: With IBM Cognos Workspace, you can create rich, interactive workspaces using IBM Cognos content as well as data from external sources. You can view and open your favorite workspaces and reports, edit content in your workspaces, and share your workspaces via email.
IBM Cognos Analytics: IBM Cognos Analytics utilizes built-in AI and intuitive searches which helps users to quickly create the visualizations and a wide range of reports. Cognos Analytics provides cognitive and managed self-service, enabling you to gain insights from controlled and trusted data.
IBM Cognos Report Studio and IBM Cognos Query Studio: Easily create structured and query reports. IBM Cognos allows users to create application and report templates. In addition, report authors can reuse report objects to apply filters, fields, and styles to reports. Users can set the language of the user interface and report content according to the user's native language.
IBM Cognos Event Studio: Receive notifications of events that occur within your organization in real time. Event Studio enables the creation of agents that detect the occurrence of business events, failures, or anomalies, based on the change of specific events or data conditions. Notification can be sent via email, publication in the portal, or by triggering reports.
IBM Cognos Connection: This is the Web portal for IBM Cognos BI and is the central area for accessing all the IBM Cognos functions. In the web portal, users can schedule and distribute reports, create tasks, administer the server and the access permissions, and more.

Reviews from Real Users

IBM Cognos stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its powerful analysis tool and its reporting capabilities.

I mean in means of report output, it's very fast compared to the actual clients involved.”
