If you are trying to compare the two it is an apples to oranges situation.

is there any issue to load TM1 cube into Cognos BI for reporting purpose?

As far as issues go there are none that we have come across. We have used C8 BI for demo purposes and have not had any issues connecting into a TM1 cube.

or better be with executive viewer ?

C8 and EV are two completely different animals and the answer really depends on what you are trying to do. C8 produces some very good formatted reports, where EV (IMO) provides alot better ad hoc query capability. Both have their strengths and weaknesses.

Are you looking for formatted reports to print out and distribute or are you looking at some sort of end user adhoc tool?

I agree with George.

C8 is great for building reporting and formatting report packs, but EV has a much better browser capabilities then C8 in some circumstances.
