Versatile and resourceful analytics tool that delivers.
What do you like best about the product?
In an effort to better understand our data we started using this tool after trying a couple of other tools. Out of the box the tool is relatively easy to use. The interface is user friendly, and depending on your previous experience, is relatively easy to learn. Implementation is not too difficult, depending on your environment and knowledge, but make sure you have the computing power. The tool is pretty rich in features, and can be used daily as easily as any other tool. Able to analyze a variety of datasets. Many reporting features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool appears to be computing resource-intensive, gobling up CPU cycles. If you don't have a powerfull enough computer, it can be a little frustrating. It does not work with all web browsers, so integration may be a little challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us better understand financial and operational data.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think you need the graphics to be editable.
Other times, we have had problems with performance
On the other hand, I do not see a clear privacy control (Anyone can see all the information on a Dashboard), it would be very important to be able to hide fields from different users

A lot of business units generate lot of data and they all need data visualization tools.

Powrful data visualization platform

The predictive analytics helps us to make reliable decisions and create awareness for future happenings. Data management and analysis has been efficient with the great performace from this stool that has enhanced implementation of projects and tasks effectively.
Powerful, but lacks useful training options
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to relatively easily get data into usable formats without needing to know SQL, and the ease of the ability to automate/schedule reports to be sent to those that need it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though I have some basic self-taught SQL knowledge I'm "just" a user without programming training, and I find data source joins to be frustrating in Cognos. When trying to join tables I'll get an error along the lines of "this doesn't use the same query context" which doesn't help me fix the problem. Also, training options are very limited. No options on LinkedIn Learning, the options I found on YouTube aren't relevant, and the IBM support community pages have wildly different opinions on what someone might try, but little that I've found helpful. I took a ~10 hour training course (through Senturus) on professional report writing and still find it difficult, so I can only imagine a brand new user would be very frustrated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a large database full of information but the built-in analytics tools are virtually non-existent. I use it less for visualization and more for getting line-level data from the database.
Helping to drive Business Intelligence With Data
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is the approach that uses Artificial Intelligence for visualisation is great and helps to take great decisions helping to bring better outcomes, prediction models, as well as data exploration models, gives good results, on top of everything the tool is easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
IBM Cognos Analytics with Watson being an IBM product works well within IBM ecosystem but when it comes to third party integration it's a nightmare and many times not supported, another problem which I discovered is the performace lag when dealing with large and complex datasets as this should be there for the price point being paid.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM Cognos Analytics with Watson has helped us to drive decisions helping to improve outcomes and made data centralisation providing ease for analysis as well as reporting, helping to implement single source of truth still working with many other providers.
