One of the strong suits of Cognos is its robust corporate reporting capability.
IBM Cognos offers corporate reporting, security tools, and integration with Office for enhanced storytelling. The platform supports analytics with dynamic cubes, PowerPlay, and Watson but faces performance issues against Tableau and Power BI. Licensing costs affect scalability, and it lacks self-service features and predictive capabilities. User experience could improve with better training and visual analytics. Despite challenges, developers value Cognos for its reporting capabilities in decision-making processes.
