Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"A drag-and-drop interface for selecting creating ad hoc reports makes this product very easy to use."
"IBM Cognos is an excellent solution for tax, planning, budgeting, profit and loss statements and balance sheets."
"Dashboarding, reporting, and ad hoc reporting are the valuable features of IBM Cognos."
"Report Studio: This is the most powerful and sophisticated tool for professional reporting."
"It's enabled us to report directly from our main application systems. We're removing islands of data and we're removing inefficiencies, where people or small divisions had their own store of information."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"A positive feature is Report Studio, where we create beautiful, complex reports."
"The main difference that I like about Cognos compared to other solutions is its data splitting functionality. We have all our company data inside the Cognos environment and so we prefer to split the information Cognos itself. It's more efficient this way."
"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."
"It would be good if the solution had conditional formatting."
"I think the GIS pieces maybe not as good as we would like."
"Need improvement towards Visualization."
"Compared to Tableau and PowerBI, the IBM interface is easier to use. However, the drag-and-drop functionality isn't as straightforward. Formatting is also more challenging in the cloud than in other applications, like Power BI. Also, if you encounter an issue, it takes more time to resolve it on the formatting side."
"It would be nice to offer free online training on the tool for end-users."
"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."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say, monitoring, monitoring, monitoring. Some improvements in monitoring would be helpful. I'd like to see more monitoring of specific reports and fields. The way the auditing is now is very limited, so I'd like to see more of that - of the monitoring."
"The high cost of a license makes it hard to scale up on a budget."
