Cumbersome and somewhat old-fashioned but powerful
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates IBM Cognos Analytics with Watson from other similar products?
IBM Cognos Analytics is a complete suite of business intelligence products, but other products (like Power BI or Tableau) are surely simpler, more straightforward and more powerful, and require less work.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Flexibility
What do you dislike most about this product?
Too much work to set up a project, compared to other products. Security, when complex, is a nightmare. Too many different and separate modules in the Cognos suite, to do things that other products (like Power BI or Tableau) do in a single module.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Compare features and pricing of the Cognos suite with other suites, such as Power BI, Tableau or QlikView
