We performed a comparison between Board and Domo 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."We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"It is very easy to use. It has got what they call a toolkit, which is a no-code development environment. You can develop a whole solution with it because it is a complete platform. There is a lot of online material that can be used as a reference. You can help yourself while developing a solution. There are some prebuilt applications in the platform environment. You can very easily customize and integrate these applications. It also has flexible scaling of machine resources, which is really great."
"Now, we have only one version of the truth."
"Where it used to take me three days at the beginning of the year to create the new financial statement, now it is a matter of minutes because all the data is in the system."
"It has definitely saved us time, especially in our budget and planning processes."
"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"It has the best GUI. And it already has an ETL tool embedded in it..."
"I mostly see it as an ETL which has many system connectors. It does a good job of ETL."
"The user interface is quite good."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature and allows for customization to create and share reports."
"The fact that you can add any data source is valuable. The entire data handling suite they have, all the apps, etc., is pretty amazing. One of the key things, not being a techie or a data-warehouse guy, is that you can connect data sources, and do all kinds of pretty amazing things."
"With ETL transformations in SQL lists, you often write a lot of queries. You have to build a bunch of code for the data. With Domo, one of the pieces we have is Magic ETL. In Magic ETL, you don't need to write code. You don't need to be a specialist in SQL or any database query language."
"Domo has a lot of connections using APIs where you can use data from different databases, such as NoSQLs, SQL databases, and other connections. These connections exist to obtain data and transform whatever that you want."
"The solution is highly stable."
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical."
"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"It needs more export to Excel functionality. Right now, we're having to build within the cloud-based platform, as well as build within the Excel add-in, because the export to Excel is somewhat ugly."
"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."
"There were very few cases on some of the tables, the data tables, where I wish there was an additional feature or two."
"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 is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Their STK is not up to date and you can't access it on their website. They have a private STK to access resources in Domo."
"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."
