IBM Cognos TM 1 is the best solution for budgetting & modelling; it has a strong adherence to each budgetting process due to its flexibility.

IT Consultant

Must wait some time while files are processed. Also penalize heavily errors.

System Administrator

The Excel integration helps us make budget planning and reports. The automated data processing tool is very useful and flexible.

This is really a planning, budgeting, and forecasting tool. Deviating too far away from it will cause problem.

Bit difficult to setup, no more articles over the internet, you need to ask some techies for one time setup. Later anyone can handle it.

Comparing to other software, IBM Planning Analytics lack of new features in the recent couple of years.

The integration with cognos analytics make the reporting side easier.

We have a good experience using it to do budget planning, analysis and forecasting.

I have built complex models in TM1 for both Management and Statutory Accounts. I have built planning models in areas such as property valuations, ship building project costing, airline route profitability, currency conversion, activity based costing, public finance initiative scenario comparison, etc

A predictive/analysis software at fist class

BI Product

I devellopped twice TM1 and my customers were always happy 

The best budgetting sw ever seen

TM1 is a great tool to have as long as the organization's system interfacing are setup to work reliably and the databases are designed to interface with each other. If these conditions are not ideal, then TM1 will not add as much value to the organization as it is designed to.
