Principal Management Consulting ### "Integrazione di analisi e reporting " 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 November 5, 2023 IBM Cognos Analytics permette di avere una soluzione integrata per la data analysis, il report e la visualizzazione. La presenza del AI permette di ricavare notevoli informazioni dai dati e consente alle aziende di prendere decisioni informate. Software molto accurato e veloce nei calcoli che può essere usato anche da utenti meno esperti. Tutti questi aspetti rendono la mia esperienza positiva e mi permettono di consigliarlo a molte delle società per cui ho fatto consulenza. Pros Una delle cose che mi piace di più è l’interfaccia intuitiva. IBM Cognos Analytics è user friendly e facile da navigare, il che rende accessibile il software a tutti i livelli di esperienza e competenza. È datato di un grande quantità di opzioni di visualizzaIone che consento di analizzare ed esplorare i dati da vari punti di vista. Notevole la capacità di IBM Cognos Analytics di gestire velocemente grandi quantità di dati. Gli algoritmi d’analisi presenti permetto di svolgere approfondimenti velocemente risparmiando tempo prezioso. Cons Il costo risulta eccessivamente elevato, specialmente se paragonato ai competitor. Questo mi impedisce di suggerire ad alcuni miei clienti di piccole dimensioni di adottare questa soluzione, anche se per loro sarebbe operativamente la migliore.

We also appreciate that Cognos Analytics still supports the use of Portals that we created in a previous version of the product. Other features that we appreciate are Bursting, Conditional Styling and Rendering, Exports to Excel and PDF, and drill-through reports, to name a few.

Financial Data Analyst Management Consulting ### "Ottimo software di BI dalle notevoli capacità di reporting " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 17, 2023 L’uso prevalente che personalmente faccio di IBM Cognos Analytics è quello della creazione di report. In particolare creo report finanziari di dettaglio per i miei clienti, al fine di evidenziare, ad esempio, l’andamento delle vendite in diverse aree geografiche o per diverse linee di business. Uso Cognos anche per definire dashboard interattive utili a montare in tempo reale le performance finanziare, queste dashboard includono KPI come fatturato o margine operativo. L’attività di reportistica risulta molto semplice in Cognos sia per la sua capacità di collegarsi a più fonti dati, sia per la possibilità di manipolare il dato mediante query SQL. Pros IBM Cognos Analytics, software di BI, dispone di una suite completa di funzionalità di reporting, dashboarding, data exploration e data modeling. Il modulo reporting, che utilizzo di frequente, il quale ha un motore basato su SQL, permette di creare report dettagliati, utilizzando input multi-fonte, e disponendo i dati in modo strategico grazie alla possibilità di manipolarli con query SQL. Un altro modulo che utilizzo è quello di dashboarding, che permette di creare dashboard di sintesi con widget interattivi. IBM Cognos Analytics non dispone di sole funzionalità di reporting, ma grazie al modulo explorations è in grado di analizzare un grande quantità di dati ed identificarne pattern nascosti con l’uso di algoritmi di machine learning, i quali sono in grado di suggerire anche la miglior tipologia di visualizzazione di dati per identificarne dei legami. Cons IBM Cognos Analytics ha un ammanco nella gestione della governare, elemento necessario in un software di BI. Infatti il software non dispone di opzioni per gestire il ciclo di vita dei dati, elemento fondamentale per organizzazione di un certo livello con dimensione ragguardevoli.

Chief Engineer Oil & Energy ### "Excellent software is easy to implement and use." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 June 5, 2023 I utilized it to complete projects as part of my Coursera studies; it is taught step by step, and cloud computing was much more familiar to me. On a monthly basis, we do key reconciliations to predict, and reports allow us to record all data pieces. IBM Cognos Analytics recognizes business demands and improves job productivity; it can manage big volumes of data; and it makes it extremely simple for all departments to build reports to see the data. While reporting, you may effortlessly combine numerous searches or arrange your data; no background or technical expertise is necessary. Pros The software is highly intuitive since it recognizes the demands of the business and promotes work productivity; it can manage a big quantity of data and allows all departments to easily build reports to examine the data. While reporting, you may effortlessly combine numerous searches or arrange your data; no background or technical expertise is necessary. The process is quite fluid, and compared to other cloud services I've tried, IBM Cognos offers a well-designed interface that is simple to educate personnel on. Reports give significant detail that can be exported and edited to explain crucial choices. They are simple to run and compatible with office applications. Cons Reports may take some time to execute depending on their size; reporting software may include cautions about where students committed errors and the report will not run; alternatively, more thorough instructions for new employees are provided. You obviously require proper training, and anyone who aren't familiar with SQL will struggle to put it up. I've been seeing some delays while switching sites or loading materials, but I appreciate IBM's ability to work on this issue.

Associate Management Consulting ### "Dati a supporto del Business " 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 June 2, 2023 All’interno di alcuni istituti bancari, in qualità di consulente, mi sono ritrovata ad utilizzare IBM Cognos Analytics al fine di monitorare la redditività di alcune branch della banca, individuare zone di miglioramento e definire le azioni da intraprendere per aumentare la redditività in base alle analisi dei dati. In particolare il software è stato utile per monitorare i KPI di ogni brand dell’istituto, definendone le prestazioni in modo oggettivo sulla base del numero di conti aperti e del numero di prestiti (o in generale prodotti) venduti. Una volta individuate le branch più deboli è stato necessario analizzare il tasso di propensione alla chiusura del conto, di prepayment del prestito e la tipologia di clientela, per identificarne le caratteristiche. Delineato il profilo della clientela, e forniti alcuni report al reparto marketing, sono state strutturare campagne e prodotti ad hoc. Con Cognos, infine, è stato monitorato l’andamento delle campagne, evidenziandone l’efficacia e costruiti dei report da presentare al management. Pros IBM Cognos Analytics è una soluzione di Business Intelligence, basata sul cloud, che grazie alle funzioni Self Service permette ai reparti business di un azienda, solitamente composti da soggetti non tecnici, di accedere ai dati ed effettuare sugli stessi semplici, ma efficaci, analisi e creare report personalizzati di dettaglio. In linea generale Cognos Analytics, il quale è in grado di connettersi a diverse tipologie di database, permette di pulire i dati e crearne dei modelli utili ad implementare report o dashboard. I report e le dashboard interattive presentano un elevato grado di personalizzazione e risultano semplici da creare mediante funzioni di drag & drop. In tal modo i report business di un azienda possono monitorare i KPI e prendere decisioni informati sui dati. Cons IBM Cognos Analytics consente di effettuare, tendenzialmente, semplici analisi dei dati. Per andare maggiormente in profondità è necessario integrarlo con altri prodotti IBM, come IBM Watson Studio, con relativo incremento del costo delle licenze per le aziende.

Additionally, the software offered robust collaboration and sharing features, enabling me to collaborate with team members and stakeholders efficiently.  Cons In my experience with IBM Cognos Analytics, there were a few aspects that I found challenging and could be improved upon. One of the areas that I liked least was the learning curve associated with the software. It took some time and effort to become familiar with the platform and its features. The complexity of certain functionalities and the lack of intuitive user interfaces made it a bit difficult for me to navigate and utilize the tool effectively at first.

LP Luca P. Credit Risk Analyst Banking ### "Pianificazione e Analisi Aziendale" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 April 29, 2023 L'uso di IBM Cognos Analytics si è rilevato utile quando è stato necessario ottenere molteplici informazioni da grandi quantità di dati per pianificare budget. In questo ha aiutato l'ampio portafoglio di strumenti analitici (OLAP, data mining, e simulazione di scenari). In particolare usando Cognos TM1, ho potuto simulare scenari diversi e comprendere l'impatto sul budget. Pros IBM Cognos Analytics contiene un insieme di strumenti di business intelligence che lo rendono discretamente completo. Il software offre molteplici modalità di analisi dei dati, tra cui reportistica, OLAP, data mining, pianificazione e simulazione di scenari. La piattaforma ha uno strumento di progettazione di report wysiwyg ed efficaci funzionalità per la pianificazione e il budgeting. IBM Cognos Analytics è disponibile in modalità ibrida e può essere implementato on-premise o come soluzione cloud. Cons Il prodotto risulta sicuramente costoso, specialmente se utilizzato in realtà piccole e poco strutturate. Inoltre potrebbe migliorare nell'interfaccia grafica, che risulta poco accattivante e datata Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Data/Analytics Consultant, Founder Insurance ### "Cognos - Fantastic In Some Areas; Lags In Others" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 December 6, 2022 It’s a means to an end. Not perfect, but no tool is. Pretty much everyone I know in the industry operates in a multi-tool BI environment. Cognos, like most, hasn’t been able to put together the full package. Pros Pixel perfect printing. Most competitors have tagged printing as a way of the past, but there’s still a half generation that relies heavily upon it. This can’t be overlooked. Cons The flexibility/functionality of the viz tools can’t compete with competitors. I think it also has a more difficult learning curve. It isn’t an intuitive tool.
