"Cognos - A good Enterprise Reporting Tool"
Comments:
I used Cognos as an analytical tool by linking our ERP (Microsoft Dynamic NAV) to it. All the financial data would be mapped & a lot of customized reports were taken out like Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The user interface is pretty good. The CUBEs are little confusing but once you get the grip they work very well. The ability to drill down the reports to very basic level is a plus point
A little tough to learn & customize. It's a little slow when dealing with a medium amount of data.
Pros: Easily integrating with most of the ERPs, very good for customizing reports, very detailed reporting
Cons: Tough to learn & not many resources available, you will get the value of the money invested in it only if you are able to get the most out of it

"IBM Cognos Analytics Review"
Comments: It is AI driven, improves the business outcomes.It enhances decision making.Overall it improves business agility.
Pros: The best thing is "Quality reports can be run at any time and by any representative with a substantial log-in " at IBM Cognos Analytics.The AI enabled exploration and dashboard capabilities are easy to use and exceed expectations
Cons: It is not simple to use. User has to get the formal training to utilise it to maximum extent. Report pulling is not that much fast. It take quite some time to load and display.
