IBM Cognos Analytics Likes & Dislikes
I personally love creating extensions and customizing our reports to give the best user experience in reporting. It actually is how I learned to code and dig deep into web development.
Easy to use UI feature and role based access control.
1- Powerful Reporting and Analytics. 2- Scheduled Reporting. 3- Integrate with Data Source.
My main gripe has to do with the limited extendibility and UI of the dashboards. Creating custom visualizations is pretty difficult, the filters are poorly designed, and overall usability is lacking. I think reporting is so strong that IBM is making reports more featured to replicate the dashboard experience. I also think documentation on their API's for developers could use a lot more examples and capabilities.
It requires a lot of technical skills to run the application on a server including upgrade, issues. It is not performant when handling large data set.
1- Complex User Interface. 2- Performance Issue with Large Reports. 3- Recipient and Access Management.
