Q&A Highlights
Question: Which BI tool has the best reporting capabilities?
Answer: What do you want for reporting reasons must be the starting point? And if you wish to have data analytics tools, BI Solutions have a variety of different analytics options available. You must now think about your data sources, which should be accurate and clean. Do you need to prepare or transform your data, or not? You now need to consider your finances and compare both subscription-based and free open source business intelligence. The market is filled with BI systems, and while many of their primary features are comparable, there are differences in each one's cost and level of capability. Some solutions start out inexpensively, but if you require more functionality, you must pay more or even purchase a third-party product. Some solutions appear to be more expensive, yet they come with all the tools you might not need going forward. Finally, whichever option you select will require some time commitment because your core company is unrelated to IT and you require tools for data analytics. In any case, I use Sisense, but you can start with any solution and compare the characteristics of each to see which is easier.
Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The dashboarding itself was pretty easy. So both the front and the back end were positive in this case.""It has the best GUI. And it already has an ETL tool embedded in it...""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.""We have found securing data valuable because it allows us to provide information without identifying individuals.""What makes me really fond of Domo is the ETL because it enables us to maximize a single platform for pulling reports and automating things. We can send the raw data from a third-party platform and do the rest of the ETL in Domo, including transforming data, adding columns, etc.""In general, Domo is very powerful and very easy to use, relatively speaking.""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.""Domo is not a difficult tool to learn. All you need to know is the SQL for the ETL part. You don't need to write much code. That's the great part. It uses legacy languages, like SQL, which is very common among developers who then don't have to go and learn Domo's own syntax. Therefore, you don't have to learn another hard language to use Domo."

More Domo Pros →

"The solution helps users create dashboards and analyze data without relying on IT or product teams.""Tableau has greatly enhanced our organization's data-driven decision-making processes by enabling us to create visually compelling reports and dashboards.""It has made the reporting stage simple and enabled us to focus mainly on the ETL part""Any feature I am looking for usually is part of the next upgrade within a few months. They have a very good dynamic evolution.""Tableau is easy to use.""Tableau has improved my organization in a variety of ways, one of its uses being that of data analysis. A feature I have found most valuable is the ease of use and straightforwardness, in addition to the flexibility of Tableau.""A valuable feature of Tableau is that it is a useful tool for small setups. I shuffle between Tableau and MicroStrategy, so I use Tableau for personal purposes more than enterprise. I like the light version of Tableau for personal usage and doing some use cases on my own. When it comes to something small, I use Tableau for setups, rather than any other tool.""It's very user-friendly. It's not like Power BI, Tableau is very user-friendly. Anybody can use Tableau. It's very easy to adopt things. I can visualize the stats."

More Tableau Pros →

Cons
"They could use more charts. They have had a very limited number of charts we can use. I believe, now, there are somewhere around 30 of them, but they could definitely use some more options.""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.""The preconfigured apps need to be more relevant to allow one, out of the box, to load data in order to use pre-set reports/views.""I would like to see better data intake.""It is expensive.""There were very few cases on some of the tables, the data tables, where I wish there was an additional feature or two.""Their organization or client service didn't always keep up... They took on more and more clients and the processes slowed down a little bit.""In Tableau, you can create virtually any kind of visualization. Based on your creativity, you can create a visualization on a human body structure, you can create a visualization on anything that you want. But Domo is limited to a few kinds of visualization views: standard things like bar, pie, and some other charts... I would like to see them add new views for presenting the data in the visualization space."

More Domo Cons →

"When you're working on a dashboard, you can't select multiple components at a time and align them, so you have to go one by one. This is very cumbersome.""Tableau's data modeling, mining, and AI library features need improvement.""The use of this service in the desktop version is annoying due to the constant updates which lead to reinstalling the application. If they could give support with updates on the same downloaded version, it would be great.""The user experience for less savvy or non-technical people (from my experience).""What is happening, with so many tools coming up in the market, is that people have to continuously get educated in order to use some of the more advanced features.""It's already using 32 gigabytes of memory, but the performance is not so good. It's very heavy.""If you wanted to create something without making it an extra column in the data set, you can't just rename it to a more user-friendly short name.""With performance tuning, it generates a pretty complex query when it is not required."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I believe that the investment in Domo was worthwhile because it allowed for the organization to jump in quickly, with little training. There are different plans available based on the requirements."
  • "They've built an "app economy." Some of them are really expensive, so they're not for startups and smaller companies. They're more like enterprise tools. We couldn't afford some of them, because they were so crazy expensive. But if I was working for a bank, insurance company, or some bigger corporation then, for sure, you could justify those prices... It was silly expensive back then and it probably still is, or even more expensive."
  • "We are making money from Domo, and all our clients are happy with the information that they receive from it."
  • "It is on the pricier end."
  • "Domo is slightly costly but it's much cheaper than some."
  • "I'm not sure about pricing, but I believe Domo is quite costly. Prior to joining this organization, I had a Domo license with my former employer and I think that license was around $500 to $600 annually. That was for a single license. I think it varies, depending on the organization that is acquiring Domo."
  • "For about 100 users our cost is $95,800."
  • "Because it's software as a service, it's more expensive on the face of it. But there are a lot of variables. I don't have to pay for servers or for infrastructure. I don't have to pay labor for my IT organization to set up or maintain the environment. I don't have to pay for them to upgrade the software, and test it, etc., because when it rolls out, it is transparent and seamless for us. But, because of that, it costs more, I imagine, than Sisense, or Yellowfin, or Power BI. A lot of those make it sound like they're inexpensive, but when you add in all the hidden costs and all of the overhead, it's probably comparable."
  • More Domo Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "For big business, Tableau could be expensive as having a lot of Tableau server users (entering with a browser to reports) could be a bit expensive."
  • "Best advice on pricing is to anticipate the desire for more licenses once the results of this product are acknowledged in other parts of your company."
  • "Paying for users you never setup or buying expensive desktop licenses for users who can solve their users with web editing on the server are the two biggest expenses."
  • "Buy 50 at a time. Project your use base every three months, and project your requirements forward."
  • "Tableau can be costly (but this can be indefinable, such as user experience vs. cheaper etc.)"
  • "I wish there was more of a subscription model with the pricing when it comes to Tableau, so you can get all the latest version upgrades/features if you pay monthly/annually."
  • "The cost is high."
  • "Deployment of dashboards to viewers and unit supervisors can be prohibitively expensive."

    Comparison Review
    Anonymous User
    After a recent presentation, several attendees asked me about the applications of Visual Insights and Tableau. Many companies are investing in both tools and are trying to figure out the right tool for specific applications Tableau has found its sweet-spot as an agile discovery tool that analysts use to create and share insights. It is also the tool of choice for rapid prototyping of dashboards. Tableau is very flexible with its data import. Tableau's data blending capability is very intuitive. This capability is useful when you have data spread across several different sources that has not gone through ETL processes. This is a problem analysts deal with routinely. They are unable to wait for the data warehouse team to develop ETL processes to provide the physical models they need to build an analysis. The Tableau interface is Excel-like and has a low barrier to entry for analysts that are used to working in Excel. Building a dashboard by mashing up visualizations in a Tableau worksheet is extremely simple. Users are able to build good presentation-quality dashboards in a very short amount time. Tableau's annotations capabilities and its time and geographical intelligence are key differentiators. Tableau has overcome limitations in data sharing with the introduction of a Data Server in Tableau 7.0. The Data server allows Data sources and extracts to be shared securely and opens up interesting new possibilities. If your application can take advantage of the above… Read more →

    Hi Dawn,


    I'm happy to help you with your search for a BI solution.


    Qlik Sense is a powerful BI platform that offers a wide range of features, including near real-time operational reporting, ad-hoc reporting, analytics, and insights. It is a good choice for businesses that need to make data-driven decisions.


    However, it is true that Qlik Sense does not come with a built-in reporting and deployment suite. You will need to add on a third-party product such as Mail & Deploy if you want to create and deploy reports.


    Domo, Tableau, and Orbit Analytics are also popular BI platforms that offer reporting capabilities. However, they each have their own strengths and weaknesses.


    Domo is known for its ease of use and its ability to connect to a wide range of data sources. However, it can be expensive and it does not offer as many advanced analytics features as some of the other BI platforms.


    Tableau is known for its data visualization capabilities. It offers a wide range of pre-built visualizations and templates, making it easy to create professional-looking reports. However, it can be difficult to use for complex data analysis.


    Orbit Analytics is a cloud-based BI platform that offers a good balance of features and pricing. It is easy to use and it offers a wide range of data connectors. However, it does not have as many advanced analytics features as some of the other BI platforms.


    The best BI platform for you will depend on your specific needs and requirements. If you are looking for a platform that offers near real-time operational reporting, ad-hoc reporting, analytics, and insights, then Qlik Sense is a good choice. However, if you need a platform with a built-in reporting and deployment suite, then you may want to consider Domo, Tableau, or Orbit Analytics.


    Here are some additional things to consider when choosing a BI platform:



    • The size of your organization: If you have a small or medium-sized organization, then a cloud-based BI platform may be a good choice. Cloud-based platforms are typically more affordable and easier to manage than on-premises platforms.

    • The level of technical expertise of your users: If your users are not very technical, then you will want to choose a BI platform that is easy to use.

    • The type of data you need to analyze: Some BI platforms are better suited for certain types of data than others. For example, Qlik Sense is a good choice for analyzing complex data sets.

    • Your budget: BI platforms can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars per year.

    I  think you should first decide which budget you can allocate for it.
    You can find "free' tools like Google Looker Studio, which have limited reporting and email capabilities. 
    I assume other cloud vendors have similar "free" tools.
    Other reporting tools can cost from 10's $ per user per month to 100K$ for a year and more.
    There is also an open-source tool named Superset
