We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
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. We've worked with all the features of Domo. Among the most important are Pivot and Sumo Cards. We can use drill-down from the top-most level with a click, generating charts. The user interface is quite good. The ability to create custom connectors was useful because you never know, with customers, what platform they want to utilize or what data they have. It gave us a lot of flexibility in being able to bring data in from different places. 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. I mostly see it as an ETL which has many system connectors. It does a good job of ETL. 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. 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 have found the dashboard creating feature helpful. It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud. Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff. Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel. The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards. No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution. A very simple setup: Easy to download, install, and updates are pain free. Support is very responsive and clearly one of the strengths of Sisense. I have always received a fast response and the staff is very helpful. |
Cons | |
In terms of the analytics, there is quite a limited set of options when using Domo. Whereas with Tableau we can perform heavy statistical computations, Domo doesn't have that capability. Domo is quite limited on that side. 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. I would like to publish a dashboard for the employees so that they can also see the performance of our organization. But that is not a feature in Domo, although it's something that Zoho provided. 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. If your ETL runs more than 24 hours, it always fails because we are logging a lot of historical data, and there is a restriction on the amount of data (in rows) that you can run. The technical support has not found a solution for this yet. 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. I would like to be able to drill down more when there is a particular area where there is a problem. I don't clearly see that in Domo at the moment. 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. | They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard. I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums. I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes. I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually. The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release. The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
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. Domo is slightly costly but it's much cheaper than some. It is on the pricier end. We are making money from Domo, and all our clients are happy with the information that they receive from it. 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. 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. | Information Not Available |
