IBM Cognos Analytics vs TruOI: Which is a better fit?

Overall its good and it is one of the initiators in the reporting market. We are still using it and find it quite useful to fulfill our client requirements.

The space usage for this software is to high. The IBM Windows services is slow on startup and service errors can be very difficult to diagnose due to bad log structure or description.

It has a nice user interface, with multiple customization options, attractive panels and excellent performance.

I struggle with all the information and fields and calculations.

Capabilities of this software is far reaching and varied and it depends on the organisation ability to use it to their advantage.

Not easy to create a report, some reports will stop working for no reason, they just will spin and not generate. Difficult to change the layout and information.

I would definitely recommend this to people who want to create effective dashboards and reports. It has user friendly interface.

Enterprise offerings are a bit pricey. For SMBs it can be a difficult conversation to justify the costs.

This product is fairly easy to figure out and the end result is amazing. Our upper management loves the ease in which they see what matters to them.

In the event that items are lost, one would have to manually enter the information again and then construct a dashboard that took a decent amount of time to build.

The software is very intuitive, and may I even say "fun" to use. Their customer support is second to none, the company itself is great - they give off the vibe they actually like doing their jobs.

The problem is - what to measure and monitor. You have to be an accountant or highly financially literate to know what to track and what to do with the info you get out.

No matter what my issue is, they do all that they can to help me - above and beyond. Regarding the product, its best feature is their user interface.

No negatives to list at this time. We had a little difficulty in the beginning getting schedules synched up but that was about all.

IDashboards is an easy, efficient, affordable, robust, interactive, user-friendly software with incredible visualization capability.

We need to purchase data hub to consolidate data across multiple data source. Hard to write advance query.
