We performed a comparison between Domo and SAP Analytics Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ease of use, overall, is one of the valuable features, as is the ease of setup. Other than making sure IT was aware of, and agreed with our proceeding, we did not need IT for any of the setup. The ease of setup is more valuable than you might think. The ease of configuring the security policies, setting up groups, and setting up personalized data permissions so that only certain people can see certain data — that stuff is amazing... Domo really is extraordinarily full-featured, but it's really easy to use."
"In Workbench 5, they have come up with a very useful feature called Upsert. When you're pushing data into the data set, if the data is already available it will update the data, and if that the data is not there it will insert it. That is a beneficial feature that they introduced in the latest version."
"The best thing is that the data storage is pretty much free. I can store as much data as I want, from different sources."
"I mostly see it as an ETL which has many system connectors. It does a good job of ETL."
"It has the best GUI. And it already has an ETL tool embedded in it..."
"One feature which I have found to be very interesting is the Beast manager, where you can create calculated fields. They are shared in one common repository so someone else can use the same calculated fields; they don't have to rewrite or reinvent the APIs."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature and allows for customization to create and share reports."
"The data certification feature, where the admin user can put a certified stamp on a data source so that other users can know that that is the correct and accurate data flow or data source to use, is a good feature."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is very easy to use, and you don't require much technology. It has a very good library and analytics. It is easy to configure and offers good visualization."
"I have found that the feature to drag and drop widgets based on the data source, and import them into stories to be valuable. This way it helps the end user to create stories themselves."
"It integrates with third-party applications such as Google Drive and Excel,"
"A robust solution."
"The user interface is quite good for developing reports out of models."
"I like the connectivity the solution provides with other products."
"The new Application Design option offers lots of customization options by being able to script in Typescript (similar to Javascript)."
"Real-time data makes for a single version of the truth."
"I would like to see more flexibility in their pricing structure. The trend is moving from database pricing to a user-license pricing model. That would be a benefit if they wanted to reevaluate their pricing structure."
"It's quite slow. We are using about 2,000,000 rows of data. Creating certain reports takes almost a couple of minutes, which should not be the case."
"When you're exporting a graph out of Domo — suppose it is in the form of a donut chart or it is in form of a stack — the data comes out in tabular format, not as a graph. When exporting the data, I would like them to create a tab for graphs and another tab with the data in tabular format."
"The forecasting feature, the regression features, and the Python libraries could all be improved. They're all in beta."
"It is very difficult too, if we do have specific requests or errors that we can't get figure out - especially when it comes to the development platform, developing custom connectors or doing any kind of API work, custom cards - in that there's a lag in the response time."
"I would also like to see improvements to their drag and drop Magic ETL tool. You can drag and drop your ETL tool, but it doesn't really work for a large amount of data. It struggles with that. In a real-world application, where you're working with 30 million rows or 100 million rows, it takes a bit longer to process the data. If you do it in the Redshift ETL tool, using your own code, it's much faster."
"The ETL way of storing is not up to mark. You have to rely on the naming convention that you're using in Domo because there are no folder systems where you can collate all your workflows and put them into separate folders. A folder system should be there so you can easily identify how you are working. Once you want to make some changes to your ETL, then you can see the whole lineage, identifying what is there and not there."
"One of the improvements that could be made is related to improved storage options."
"The customizations need to be better."
"Sometimes we have difficulty connecting to a SharePoint list."
"SAP has always had one problem with its products, they make them very closed systems that are difficult to integrate."
"When it comes to planning there is a concern about the ability to match the exact requirements of the customer with what the product offers."
"One potential improvement is how we can transpose data. With SAP, if you have data from one system with a declared data type and a different system with another data type, the transfer is tricky."
"The business intelligence features should be improved because there is a lack of functionality regarding that part."
"Pricing is fine for the BI license, but when it comes to client license, that fee is a bit high."
"I am not happy with the predictive analytics features and smart features offered by the product, making them areas where improvements are required."
