"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."
"Integration with Office can enable the 'download' mode of storytelling."
"I have worked on the features like dashboards and stories, and I do like them a lot."

"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."

"The primary reason for using OBIEE is connectivity with Oracle E-Business Suite. It makes it easy to connect with our Oracle E-Business Suite. There are the standard dashboards available, which we sometimes use, and now we are looking for customized dashboards."
"The main features of this solution are that it is easy to use, intuitive, and user-friendly.
