Find out in this report how the two Predictive Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
Alteryx helps familiarize managers with artificial intelligence-driven possibilities.
The customer service was not good because we weren't premium support users.
They could be improved with more examples of use cases, but they are fit for purpose.
I contacted customer support once or twice, and they were quick to respond.
Our systems team, operating on a lot of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and maintaining long-term relations with IBM, benefits from good support coverage.
I rate technical support from IBM as eight out of ten, indicating a high quality of service.
Alteryx is scalable, and I would give it eight out of ten.
It can be scaled out to other teams, but requires building cubes and implementing policies.
I didn't need to reach out to Alteryx for support because available documents usually provide enough information to resolve issues.
I have not encountered any lagging, crashing, or instability in the system during these three months of usage.
I rate the stability of this solution as nine out of ten, indicating it is highly stable.
The cost is a factor, so we're looking at solutions that are free to implement.
The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections.
The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system.
There is room for improvement in self-service analytics and predictiveness.
Since IBM Cognos is a futuristic platform with many robust features, it takes time to grasp all the features and how they work, so there is a learning curve.
We are generally satisfied, but I am not certain if IBM Cognos meets every feature request from users since we only provide IBM Cognos as our standard and do not maintain infrastructure for other tools.
Some were hesitant to pay $4000 per seat.
Alteryx is more cost-effective compared to Informatica licenses, offering savings.
It has a fair price when considering a larger-scale implementation.
I rate pricing as a four, meaning it is more expensive compared to other solutions.
Alteryx not only represents data but also supports decision-making by suggesting the next steps.
Analysts who do not have any coding experience can still work on the transformation and preparation of data, which is quite useful.
It offered quick development, with the ability to process large datasets.
The AI features in IBM Cognos helped me gain deeper insights into our business processes, enabling me to make data-driven decisions easily and understand which points need our attention and which areas of our business are performing well.
IBM Cognos is evaluated and complies fully with all our security standards.
IBM Cognos is a robust governed platform with significant security features and provides excellent graphics and reporting.

Users can see only information that they have been granted access to, based on their group or role.

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.
Prasad B., a senior software engineer at a financial services firm, notes, “The product is a very good reporting tool and is very flexible. It allows for the users to get a scheduled report. We can receive automated reports as well. They are easy to schedule on a weekly or monthly basis. It is very fast. I mean in means of report output, it's very fast compared to the actual clients involved.”
We monitor all Predictive Analytics reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
