We performed a comparison between IBM Cognos and Oracle Analytics Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In terms of stability, I think that Cognos is more stable than Tableau and Power Bi because of its framework manager concept that allows us to import metadata and store it in the framework manager."
"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."
"I have worked on the features like dashboards and stories, and I do like them a lot."
"It is a stable product."
"IBM Cognos offers tools so that you can design and develop your own test queries and reporting solutions."
"One of the strong suits of Cognos is its robust corporate reporting capability."
"The most valuable features of IBM Cognos are governance and enterprise reporting."
"The dashboarding offered by this solution is very valuable to us."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
"The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code."
"It's robust. It has the ability to handle massive amounts. After reporting has been developed, there is an ease of use or a user-friendly interface for a trained workforce."
"The specific capability I find important in Oracle Analytics Cloud is that it allows the basic user to easily drag and drop data. I also like that the solution allows the user to decide what to measure and what to see in the reports."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"Cognos is quite slow - it's missing the performance of the PowerPlay cubes."
"The performance is a bottleneck and something that can be improved."
"It would be nice to offer free online training on the tool for end-users."
"I think the GIS pieces maybe not as good as we would like."
"There are some problems with how Cognos handles huge data sets and when connecting with multiple sources and searching the data."
"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."
"I would like for the platform to become more standard. If we make a development on our report and our dashboard, it will not be used in another solution. That means there is no portability for the developers."
"They should provide improved visual reporting."
"It is expensive."
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"It's not a failure of the product; it's just an architectural choice. It has to do with data modeling. I'm comparing this to another product, which is Oracle's developer client and probably called Oracle BI Developer Client Tool. The data modeler, which is cloud-based, and Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is local or on-premises-based, both can do the same thing in data modeling. However, the cloud tool does not have as many features as the Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is closest to the OBIEE Administration Tool with full feature data modeling, metadata development, and so forth. In a complex environment or implementation, that is the capability that you need."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
