Provides wealth of pre-defined, customizable components, and descriptive logging for errors
* Familiar, intuitive GUI (Eclipse plug-in) coming from a Java development background. * In-depth, descriptive, and well-laid-out documentation. * Responsive support through forums, even directly from Clover staff. * Wealth of pre-defined components. * All components are customizable. * Descriptive logging, especially for error messages. * Ease of install/light footprint.
Leslie Mavonyani - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-use and stable tool useful for its functionalities like analytics and AI
It is a scalable solution, and to provide its scalability a rating, I would say that it would depend on how much data we push at it. There are five users of IBM Cognos Dashboard in my company. Though it is extensively used in my company, we do not plan to increase its usage.
