### Pros

"It generated reports from data warehouse very well"

"We also appreciate that Cognos Analytics still supports the use of Portals that we created in a previous version of the product. "

"Additionally, the software offered robust collaboration and sharing features, enabling me to collaborate with team members and stakeholders efficiently. "

### Cons

"Drill down in reports seems to take much time which make this software slow sometime."

"You obviously require proper training, and anyone who aren't familiar with SQL will struggle to put it up."

"Cognos, like most, hasn’t been able to put together the full package."
