Benchmark tests on Cognos Powerplay

[srameshbtech]

Hi All,
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  I am new to this group. We are evaluating features of OLAP tools to suggest our client which one is best suitable. In this process I tryed a lot to get information on benchmark tests and their results that were done on Cognos Powerplay7.3.But I didn't get any information.So please let me know if anyone has any information on this.

thank you,
with regards,

Powerplay is an absolutely wonderful tool. According to the statistics, the only one competitor is Informatica, though I don't know about Imformatica but Powerplay is absolutely wonderful in terms of functionality, ease of use, the power it has.

It's not like SAP BW which in my opinion is not even worth calling BI tool.
