What do you like best about IBM Cognos Analytics?

I would say, as we had installed it on site, and we had really have control over customization. So far, we had used dashboards and charts in order to visualize our HVAC model data. Overall it's good like power bi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Cognos Analytics?

What I personally felt, regardless of its scope of the installation , it is not much interactive than power bi. It does not provide same level of drag and drop functionalities and even pre built visualisation options as like power bi. They could think of cloud native application for cogno. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Cognos Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?

So we used data visualisation templates and even report studio to measure the thermal comfort after configuring each type and cases of HVAC system. So analysing and tracking thermal comfor was very interactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
