Great integration of analytics and reporting

Pros

I really really like the interface of this tool. It is user-friendly and easy to navigate, making it accessible to all levels of experience. It offers a large variety of visualization options, which allows me to analyze and explore data from different perspectives. Its ability to quickly handle large amounts of data is remarkable, and the analysis algorithms help me conduct in-depth studies quickly, saving valuable time.

Cons

I think the cost is unnecessarily high as compared to other competitors. This makes it difficult for me to suggest this solution to some of my smaller customers, even though it would be the best option for them operationally.

IBM Cognos Analytics Is perfect for creating custom reports

Pros

I appreciate the ability to create custom reports to meet specific user requirements. I can link data from databases using Cognos Framework Manager and create SQL select queries to pull data directly from custom SQL objects. I also like that Cognos Analytics still supports Portals that were created in previous versions of the product. Other features I value are bursting, conditional Styling, exports to excel and Pdf and drillthrough reports.

Cons

I really think crosstabs could use more features and provide more flexibility in formatting.
