Offers ad hoc analysis reports and good for operational dashboarding
I have many use cases. Now, we are not using building a queue, but we are using Cognos Analytics for dashboarding, operational dashboarding, and all. We are using normal standard reports and tabular reports. I think I don’t know the exact version of Cognos, but we use studios to build those…

A stable solution that can be used for data discovery, but it should include more tutorials for new users
We use Kyvos for data discovery and drilling down to the exact data point The most valuable features of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data. Since I couldn't find any tutorials or a handbook, I had some initial difficulty understanding the UI and the whole interface of…

The solution is easy to learn to use and very informative
The solution is simple for people from a viewing perspective, not a coding perspective. It's very easy to use for people who don't understand the technology. You need to know what you're doing with Power BI and Tableau. Mode Analytics would show up as a URL, so it's just there when you open it up. You don't need to understand any technology, so it doesn't matter what the guy at the company's top knows technologically. You can just send him a link, and he'll be able to understand everything. I found that very good. And obviously, the parameterization abilities were quite fun to work with and broadened what I could do with it. However, I don't think Mode is the only one that does that, so I don't think that separates them. The solution was just very intuitive to use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When it comes to decision-making, the product is very useful and used in many departments since a lot of people prefer the reports to be generated by IBM Cognos."
"The tool can join data from different sources, write back to databases, generate alerts, and be customized to our preferences. It's an enterprise BI tool that's more powerful than just visualization tools like Power BI or Tableau."
"IBM Cognos improves the effectiveness of the sales team."
"A drag-and-drop interface for selecting creating ad hoc reports makes this product very easy to use."
"Integration with Office can enable the 'download' mode of storytelling.​"
"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."
"IBM Cognos is an excellent solution for tax, planning, budgeting, profit and loss statements and balance sheets."
"The dashboarding offered by this solution is very valuable to us."
"The most valuable features of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data."
"The most valuable feature I would say is the flexibility in editing."
"The solution is simple for people from a viewing perspective, not a coding perspective."
"The most important feature of the solution is the ability to run Python-based scripts."
"The tool helps to catch results and review them."
 

Cons

"The solution's support could be better."
"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."
"IBM Cognos's error messages seem to be a bit ambiguous. An error will be encountered and a message will be sent out very ambiguous and after investigating the error message it could be any number of issues. There was never a direct answer to the question or a direct answer to the error messages. Sometimes it would be a generic error message for 21 different solutions. It wasn't very specific, which required a lot of digging around and trial and error trying to fix the problem. The messaging in their error messaging is something needing improvement."
"They should provide improved visual reporting."
"The technical support team’s response time is slow and needs to be improved."
"One key area for improvement is the need to improve the self-service nature and functionality of the product in terms of visual analytics."
"They were lacking in the initial phases of development in the area of big data, and they still need to improve that aspect of the product."
"There are some problems with how Cognos handles huge data sets and when connecting with multiple sources and searching the data."
"Since I couldn't find any tutorials or a handbook, I had some initial difficulty understanding the UI and the whole interface of Kyvos."
"The solution could run faster."
"I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better."
"The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes."
"Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing policies are comparatively cheaper than other products in the market ."
"I don't know the exact cost, but I believe Cognos is quite expensive, especially when it comes to the support consultants and the procedures that need to be applied."
"The cost of IBM Cognos it's more or less the same as most of the other solutions on the market. They're very competitive with the rest of the market and it is not the most expensive product."
"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."
"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."
"On a scale from one to ten where one is low pricing and ten is high pricing, I would rate this solution at eight."
"It's more expensive than similar solutions like Tableau and Power BI."
"There is need to assess the purchase license accordingly so as to avoid audit penalties."
