"Security administration tools are powerful and flexible."
"The email traffic analysis feature is very useful."

"The solution seems to slow down the servers."
"The charts and graphics are weak."
"It could have more options for themes."
"The data uploads that we do, such as Excel files, have a lot of restrictions. If we can make it a bit more user-friendly, allowing us to have more flexibility it would be a great help."
"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."
"It would be good if the solution had conditional formatting."
"I don't like that when we use Colab packages, we get less functionality. For example, you can make groups of data with Excel or with the data sets from the packages, but when you use the Colab packages directly, you can only group the data when you analyze it with Analysis Studio. I think Cognos needs to improve more on this functionality."
"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."
"I am primarily interested in reporting and automation improvements."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting, maybe having more customizable reports would be good."
