Tableau and Cognos BI are both popular business intelligence (BI) tools used to analyze and visualize data.
Tableau is a data visualization and analysis tool that allows users to connect to various data sources, create visualizations, and share insights with others. It has a user-friendly interface and a wide range of data visualization options, including charts, graphs, and maps.
Cognos BI, on the other hand, is an enterprise-level BI platform that allows users to create reports, dashboards, and scorecards. It provides a more robust set of features for data modeling, data governance, and security, making it well-suited for larger organizations with complex data environments.
While both tools have their strengths and weaknesses, Tableau is generally considered to be more intuitive and user-friendly, while Cognos BI offers more advanced functionality and better scalability. Ultimately, the choice between the two will depend on the specific needs of the organization and the skillset of the users.
Having used both, for business only users Tableau is the choice, however for both BI developers and business users use case, Cognos BI would provide a more functional and rounded toolset.
