A bit complex to write the logic of the Cognos language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Data security is tight with Cognos Analytics unlike spreadsheets where there is high risk of losing original data while working in a team. Here each team member gets a different copy such that any change made is limited to his or her edition. Add to it AI chatbot that answers all the queries (even perform mathematical computations) as the query is raised in a simple English like talking to your friend.So no need to write a single piece of SQL query/code. Finally push notification that can send notifications across devices for keeping tab on important deadlines and accomplishments while working in a team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I chose this platform because of the quality of the tools, it has very practical functions which allow you to visualize the data efficiently, and there is not only one way to display the loaded data so there is no problem when you want to adapt the data to different ways of implementing the analysis in different areas of my work.
The loading times really surprised me, by this I mean that no matter the size of the data loaded everything will be fast when it comes to starting to configure the visual reports. I have been trying to use other platforms but in none of them I can get the same response time from when the data is loaded to the point where the graphs can be generated.
I like how I can combine several inputs from different sources to generate the reports, with this I can create more detailed reports. The provision of importing different data sources is very useful for me because it allows me to easily generate reports without any problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be very useful to have a feature that shows a warning when errors are made in the creation of a report and it is not executed, this would help a lot to be able to solve the problem that the loaded database may contain more easily. It would also be nice if they added possible solutions to the problems that are generated.
At first glance, the interface lacks intuitiveness, it requires complete training even if you already have knowledge of data management in SQL to be able to implement said data to this platform, so the lack of intuitive tools made it difficult to be able to navigate within the interface and be effective for data analysis.
I had problems with certain browsers when working with this platform for the first few times, in some cases it simply did not display the virtualized elements correctly, for my solution it was only to use browsers that based on Chromium, because otherwise it will simply have errors even in displaying the drag and drop elements.

Cognos Analytics features stringent data protection, unlike spreadsheets, where there is a considerable risk of losing original data while working in a team. Since each team member is given a different copy in this instance, any changes are unique to their edition. Incorporate an AI chatbot that can answer any query and even perform mathematical computations when requested in natural language, just like you would in a conversation with a friend. Consequently, no SQL code or queries need to be written. Finally, team members may remain on top of important deadlines and accomplishments by using push alerts that can be transmitted between devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are times when the cloud version is a bit slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
