More IBM Cognos Dashboard Cons →

"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release.""This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution.""I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually.""At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
