Has a user-friendly interface and simple integration
We use IBM Cognos for dynamic reporting to drill down to the details such as product category and item level. For example, call centers need data down to the entry level for a transaction. We use the solution to provide sales trends and forecasts as well Previously, we were doing static…

A stable solution that can be used for data discovery, but it should include more tutorials for new users
We use Kyvos for data discovery and drilling down to the exact data point The most valuable features of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data. Since I couldn't find any tutorials or a handbook, I had some initial difficulty understanding the UI and the whole interface of…

The solution is easy to learn to use and very informative
The solution is simple for people from a viewing perspective, not a coding perspective. It's very easy to use for people who don't understand the technology. You need to know what you're doing with Power BI and Tableau. Mode Analytics would show up as a URL, so it's just there when you open it up. You don't need to understand any technology, so it doesn't matter what the guy at the company's top knows technologically. You can just send him a link, and he'll be able to understand everything. I found that very good. And obviously, the parameterization abilities were quite fun to work with and broadened what I could do with it. However, I don't think Mode is the only one that does that, so I don't think that separates them. The solution was just very intuitive to use.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Self-service is possible through the use of dashboards, which are also very intuitive. Stories can be used to pin snapshots, tell the story for meetings, etc."
"The dashboarding offered by this solution is very valuable to us."
"The most valuable features are Report Development (Functionality) and Information Distribution (Flexibility)."
"Integration with Office can enable the 'download' mode of storytelling.​"
"It is a stable product."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"If they want dashboarding, storytelling, and analyzing why KPIs are met or not, then Cognos is a better candidate than Qlik Sense."
"The most valuable features of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data."
"The most valuable feature I would say is the flexibility in editing."
"The solution is simple for people from a viewing perspective, not a coding perspective."
"The most important feature of the solution is the ability to run Python-based scripts."
"The tool helps to catch results and review them."
 

Cons

"The solution seems to slow down the servers."
"This product could use improvement in terms of usability for those with less technical know how."
"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."
"I would like to see the introduction of mapbooks for supporting some geographical information."
"There are many problems with the product's stability part, making it an area where improvements are required."
"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."
"The performance is a bottleneck and something that can be improved."
"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."
"Since I couldn't find any tutorials or a handbook, I had some initial difficulty understanding the UI and the whole interface of Kyvos."
"Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience."
"The solution could run faster."
"The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes."
"I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing should be improved."
"It is quite pricy. I think Microsoft BI is cheaper. Tableau might also be cheaper, but it also depends on the usage. If you have very many users, Cognos can be a problem. It could be cheaper than Tableau but not for so many users. If you have a few thousand users, Tableau, which is generally quite expensive, can be cheaper than Cognos."
"IBM Cognos price is on the higher side of the spectrum. However, with the features that it brings, such as correlation analysis, it's worth the money. They should look at the pricing more clearly because it's a little on the higher side."
"It is pretty expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten where one is low pricing and ten is high pricing, I would rate this solution at eight."
"There is a standard license required to use this solution. There are some additional tools but I am not sure if they are an extra cost."
"I don't know the exact cost, but I believe Cognos is quite expensive, especially when it comes to the support consultants and the procedures that need to be applied."
"The solution is affordable."
Information not available
"The pricing is per user."
