I found this article when i would like to see how the BI World is looking cognos Vs Tableau. In my experience i pre-dominently worked in cognos and just started to work in the Tableau. I see the tableau as a self serviced data visualization and representation tool rather than standard reporting tool. In cognos also we have self serviced tool like query studio and analysi studio. But compared to tableau, it has most powerful and ‘beautiful’ features.Here analysis reports and dashbords can be done in minutes but the same thing takes days in cognos. By tableau data extract we can work disconnected from the server also. Active reports in cognos gives that fuinctionality but features this gives not at the level of tableau. but in tableau users should have the knowledge about the underlying database tables or whatever they are using as source. If the users world start analyzing their data on the go in tableau kind of tool , i am afraid what other enterprise standard report tools would do and it impacts technical report developers also .
