Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."Has an APM, which deals with the details of data and has calculation functions included."
"I appreciate its user-friendliness, especially for business users who may not be very tech-savvy."
"I've primarily worked with CCH Tagetik as a consultant, handling implementations and not providing day-to-day user support. I initially appreciated the unified platform, the Ownership Structure Register, which benefits certain entities. The workflow feature is great, but it can become overly detailed and lacks clear guidance on design. The solution is good in terms of storage."
"The most valuable feature of CCH Tagetik is form creation."
"I have worked on the features like dashboards and stories, and I do like them a lot."
"The dashboarding offered by this solution is very valuable to us."
"Cognos is the best application with dashboards,batch reporting, jobs, events and ad-hoc reporting for business users."
"We use the account statement report. When you use an account in HSBC, you receive various types of accounts, such as the stock market, fixed accounts, credit cards, and business accounts. We can create one consolidated report called CCS support, which includes all these accounts. In that statement, we are consolidating all those accounts."
"IBM Cognos improves the effectiveness of the sales team."
"It is a stable product."
"The product is a very good reporting tool and is very flexible. It allows for the users to get a scheduled report."
"We use IBM Cognos for enterprise analytics and reporting."
"The tool's major drawback is the ETL process, which is not up to par with other solutions."
"We faced difficulties while uploading data."
"There is room for improvement, especially on the settings side of the solution."
"Analytics function is weak. Other products have sum(irate) function and forecasting help function, but Tagetik does not have this clarity."
"Tableau and Power BI are faster than Cognos."
"Compared to Tableau and PowerBI, the IBM interface is easier to use. However, the drag-and-drop functionality isn't as straightforward. Formatting is also more challenging in the cloud than in other applications, like Power BI. Also, if you encounter an issue, it takes more time to resolve it on the formatting side."
"The solution's support could be better."
"The AI-based features could be further enhanced by the solution."
"IBM Cognos's error messages seem to be a bit ambiguous. An error will be encountered and a message will be sent out very ambiguous and after investigating the error message it could be any number of issues. There was never a direct answer to the question or a direct answer to the error messages. Sometimes it would be a generic error message for 21 different solutions. It wasn't very specific, which required a lot of digging around and trial and error trying to fix the problem. The messaging in their error messaging is something needing improvement."
"There are some small features that are missing. It would be nice if the graphics were better. You can use external sources for charts, but it's quite complex to use and not easy to implement. If you want a new chart, you can download it from multiple tools and implement it into IBM Cognos."
"It would be nice to offer free online training on the tool for end-users."
"The high cost of a license makes it hard to scale up on a budget."
