Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."The most valuable feature of CCH Tagetik is form creation."
"Has an APM, which deals with the details of data and has calculation functions included."
"I've primarily worked with CCH Tagetik as a consultant, handling implementations and not providing day-to-day user support. I initially appreciated the unified platform, the Ownership Structure Register, which benefits certain entities. The workflow feature is great, but it can become overly detailed and lacks clear guidance on design. The solution is good in terms of storage."
"I appreciate its user-friendliness, especially for business users who may not be very tech-savvy."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"Report Studio: This is the most powerful and sophisticated tool for professional reporting."
"Cognos is the best application with dashboards,batch reporting, jobs, events and ad-hoc reporting for business users."
"Mapbox integration for geospatial analytics down to longitude/latitude layers."
"The correlation analysis is excellent. It's one of the best that I have used to date."
"The dashboarding offered by this solution is very valuable to us."
"IBM Cognos improves the effectiveness of the sales team."
"We faced difficulties while uploading data."
"There is room for improvement, especially on the settings side of the solution."
"The tool's major drawback is the ETL process, which is not up to par with other solutions."
"Analytics function is weak. Other products have sum(irate) function and forecasting help function, but Tagetik does not have this clarity."
"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."
"We would like to see development of the product's UI function, to make it more of a UI tool that can be configured as required."
"Extending dynamic cubes aggregate awareness with calculated measures."
"I would like to have predictive and forecasting capabilities in Cognos. It's one thing to do reporting, and another thing to easily predict or forecast certain data points, which is very important for all the clients."
"The charts and graphics are weak."
"Data modeling needs to be improved. We use the ETL process, and when we get errors, we then need to identify which structural change is required. The error messaging should be better. They should be descriptive rather than semantic."
"The technical support team’s response time is slow and needs to be improved."
"Tableau and Power BI are faster than Cognos."
