Domo

Pros

Domo provides all of the essential functions of other products including data connectors, data visualization, data ingestion and exports, as well as dashboard creation. Domo does have a learning curve to learn the difference in how the back end functions are different, but anyone with previous experience should be able to pick it up.

Cons

At times Domo can be slower than other products, and does sometimes crash when ingesting large amounts of data. We also used a browser based UI which could cause trouble if their were browser issues, etc.

Pros

DOMO is a phenomenal program that makes capturing data for the entire company organized and easy to evaluate! We previously used a different operating system and this one is a million times better. It is so easy to navigate and easy to pull the needed reports!

Cons

I think the "Buzz" section that takes up the entire right side of the screen should have a toggle bar to make that section smaller. In the capacity I use this system I don't typically use the Buzz section so it would be nice if I should hide that section and view more of the screen I actually need.

Pros

Very fast and powerful data transformations/manipulation that are intuitive and straightforward to perform. Data connections are very broad

Cons

Expensive and hard to understand pricing. Data visualizations are comparable in quality and capability to much more affordable options.

Reasons for Switching to Domo

Pros

I like it because it is really advanced when it comes to Business Intelligence and visual insights. It helps me in quick and impactful decision-making through the metrics I can build on a dashboard and integrate with ERP & SaaS products for my company.

Cons

The data refresh is still i believe not fully there yet. on the daily refreshes, sometimes it forgets to refresh data and then I'd have to wait for a day again to have it update live data. Even though, it is a rare instance, I'd love if this was fixed permanently.

Reasons for Switching to Domo

Pros

1. It has very impressive performance and uptime. We rarely run into any issues or bugs when using it, and the real-time features work smoothly2. The interface looks great and is very suitable for users with little background in data tools. That was very important for us as several departments are using it at the moment and everyone was able to get the hang of it despite some not being 100% proficient with tools like it.

Cons

It's not as well known as some of the other data management tools out there, so there isn't much of a community behind it. It would be good to have the ability to exchange ideas with other users.

Pros

Does not require any technical skills with their no-code Magic ETL dataflows which is super helpful for scaling a BI team.
We are still on a fixed payment term, which has been extended for a few years which is great.
Tons of pre-built connectors for Shopify and paid advertising platforms.

Cons

New pricing update based off token usage will be troubling. Not sure how we would be able to test new dataset builds when we are being charged for each run/update of a dataset.

Pros

I use DOMO frequently for my job to collect data metrics. I like how easy it is to access DOMO. It's easy to filter down to the exact metric you are looking for down to the date, metric and number amount. I also like how easy it is to export the file into a Microsoft Excel pdf. When I need to send me findings, I always need to attach the DOMO report which is easy to download.

Cons

DOMO can be a bit confusing and overwhelming to use when you first look at it. But this is because of how detailed it takes you when you are searching for your data. Once you get the hang of it and know how to save your filters, it is a piece of cake to utilize and is very effective.

Pros

It provided a good and easy to manipulate data visualization platform.

Cons

Etl functions and heavier dashboards slowed the entire page down and was difficult to work with

Pros

Software is easy to learn and set up. It does not require training.
Domo software provides reliable digital solutions that saves time and resources.

Cons

The software has delivered according to expectations.

Pros

I like the numerous reports you can run. There are reports for each department and it is customizable which is great.

Cons

It does not update in ream time. This is frustrating when we have deadlines and need accurate information.

Pros

Domo has proven to be more efficient to build dashboards, while being easy to use to bring non-BI users into the fold. I have been amazed by how quickly new users become comfortable and productive using the tools. We leverage a stable of the connectors to further drive our strategy from multiple operational platforms.

Cons

It would be great to be able to multi-layer calculated fields within cards, but this isn't a huge obstacle because of the ETL capability at the dataset level

Pros

By far the best feature is the ability to take lots of crazy, boring data and making it tell a visual story. A picture tells a thousand words.

Cons

We ran into some problems with a few of the data sources we tried to connect to. The Domo help team was great, but it wasn't easy.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Domo

Pros

This software is extremely flexible and user friendly. Our users can access data from their phones or anywhere with an internet connection. Users can easily navigate charts and tables. Visualizations are easy to create with drag and drop function. Data from multiple data sources can be easily combined. Built in connectors allow for easy connections to major data sources.

Cons

The standard contract is reasonable but many features and apps are an expensive add-on. Any customization or support not related to performance of standard features is not included with contract.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Domo

Pros

We can gain deeper insights thanks to Domo's machine learning and advanced analytics capabilities. We have a thorough understanding of our business indicators because of Domo's ability to link to a wide range of data sources.

Cons

For applications that need immediate data visibility, in particular, its real-time data streaming capabilities might be strengthened.

Pros

Easy to filter data and select plateforms

Cons

UI is great and easy to use; filtering and customizing

Pros

It compiles all necessary work and data in one place for management and other colleagues to plan accordingly for the day

Cons

Length of time between updated data to refresh is pretty long

Pros

Real-time data information assists with meeting SLAs and staying compliant!

Cons

Having a more thorough explanation of errors would be helpful.

Pros

It has good number of connectors to all the enterprise applications.Very powerful ETL tool to migrate data from spreadsheets.

Cons

I feel we have less dashboard/card customizations compared to Tableau and also the user interface of dashboard builder is not that good for basic users.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Domo

Pros

I love everything about Domo especially the real time insight are accurate and we can trust we're making the right decision

Cons

I like everything about the Domo platform

Pros

Every function is quite simple to use, but if you don't know how to utilise it, they provide fantastic knowledge-based publications. Domo enables us to create really well-designed dashboards that present data from numerous sources fast and effortlessly. When it comes to analytical skills, it is also a potent tool with an excellent report generator. Increases visibility into performance. It provides several chart kinds that are categorised based on the requirements. The best thing is that it generates an auto chart utilising multiple dimensions and measurements.

Cons

When an issue happens on the SQL side, I notice it, but I'd need additional information about it. Sometimes a single statement isn't enough to explain what's wrong with the SQL. The colours are terrible, and the graphs and other elements aren't as easy to use as Power BI or other tools. The only thing that may be enhanced is the graphical tools; otherwise, it is wonderful and works well.

Pros

Flexibility of ingesting, manipulating and outputting data in one place. The connector system paired with the native data warehouse, ETL and visualisation capabilities allow for a quick data to market on data projects

Cons

Support is poor across the board. It seems like we can't trust most of Domo's capabilities to support enterprise-grade functionality. There's multiple gaps on connectors, weird inexplicable performance degradation periods and gaps around managing data quality pipelines.

Pros

I like how there is a lot of things you can do with the software. You can create ETLs, use SQL to transform data, create visualizations, and more. It is like a swiss army knife with data, it can do almost anything. I also like how there are multiple ways it lets you do the same thing, which allows you to find whatever you feel most comfortable with and do it that way.

Cons

Sometimes navigating the software is a little confusing, especially when switching between various datasets.

Pros

It's generally pretty easy to get data into Domo and the ETL options make it pretty easy to do any necessary data cleaning and transformation. The platform is user friendly and building visuals are straightforward, although they can be limited at times.

Cons

Domo's support team definitely needs improvement - their response time is lacking and frequently ask for information that has already been provided in the initial ticket submission. It's also easy for the platform to become very disorganized - Domo could definitely benefit from implementing some data catalog functionality.

Pros

Very powerful and very flexible software. Lots of options to get data into Domo and to manipulate it.

Cons

Training/Learning. I have to search all over the web to learn how to do things. When I work with Domo developers I'm told the training material is out-of-date and I should be doing something another way. (I appreciate the honesty of the developers, just not the out of date training material). Need some kind of tier training system. Not every user needs all the nitty-gritty details, but others like myself who have to work daily in domo need better understanding of the details.

Pros

I like the speed I can create new cards to better understand the data behind user complaints or potential areas to improve our system and customer experience. I also appreciate that it was easy to learn the software on the job with a limited background in data.

Cons

I sometime wish I could create my own card template, and have had to export data to excel to create specific visualizations. Additionally, combining data sources can be clunky.

Pros

As a person who mostly works with ETL and Data visualization I can say that cards and dashboards approach allows developer/analyst to visualize and analyze data, but business users will find it complicated.
Working with various data sources, scheduling pipeline updates and reports, setting up alerts, and managing data lineage is easy.

Cons

Writing and debugging SQL code in ETL pipelines is complicated and long process.
Cards are not very responsive to resizing.
DOMO has similar to Tableau LOD calculations, but they are not as flexible as DAX.

Pros

It's easy to use. Any tool that requires significant training isn't a tool that is going to be easily adopted. Domo is intuitive and efficient.

Cons

Not sure this is a domo thing or an us thing, the list of reports needed are extensive.

Pros

Its a combination of everything
Data extraction --> building ETL--> Dashboard Creation

Cons

DOMO is a bit expensive, and the higher management must consider that when compared with other BI tools.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

DOMO plays as an integrated platform that combines data from various data sources so that data scientists and data analyst could easily do the further investigations. The graphical programming tool (ETL) is another advantage for code-less development. The visualizations and dashboards are great for our business intelligence activities.

Cons

It's hard to set up the PDP policies even with the dynamic PDP policy since all the attributes need manual inputs. The help function is not that friendly.

Pros

The flexibility to quickly alter datasets via magic ETL, beast modes, views and control the data being exposed to dashboards.

Cons

Sometimes it can take a bit longer to acheive a task in comparison to competitors like Tableau.

Pros

Domo pulls data quickly from Salesforce, which is vital for our company. Salesforce reporting isn't excellent, but Domo gives us everything we need.

It is not the easiest to navigate initially, but it is not difficult to figure out.

Pros

Synchronized data makes it easier to analyze between the modules

Cons

It took a while to master it but when you master it becomes super fun

I like how efficient Domo has been.

Cons

Domo has been a flawless business intelligence solution.
Domo is amazing to use.

Pros

I love the fact I can do a quick glance to get numbers for reporting on the dashboard

Cons

I have to wait until a team fixes domo data in order for me to review reporting.

Pros

I love the way that Domo pulls data into visually appealing formats. It makes reviewing, understanding, and sharing information way easier and applicable to more audiences, which is a major win. It is also easy to use, which is an additional plus!

Cons

Sometimes navigating to the sources of the data is difficult - If I didn't create the card or was not trained in what the card consumes, I find it sometimes hard to figure out what data is included in it.

Pros

Data visualization (graphs, tables, etc.). Domo pulls data from my organization's CRM system and other sources, making Domo a single place to view information.

Cons

Updates made in a source take some time to flow through into Domo, it's not instantaneous.

Pros

The brilliant features of Domo makes it an amazing tool for data analytics.
I am impressed by the ease of use of Domo.

Cons

Domo works perfectly.
No dislikes about Domo.

Pros

I like how easy it is to pull information from various sources, create and save custom dashboards, and then distribute them to my team and any other departments that will lend a hand. Its most robust feature is the application's ability to configure many types of protection, such as data-level security and folder-level security. The design is aesthetically pleasing, and the user interface is simple.

Cons

The user interface is often intimidating until the user gets comfortable with the program, and customer support can offer quicker solutions to people with problems.

Pros

I can review my metrics to ensure that I am meeting my goals.

Cons

I do not receive a second report at the end of the day only at the begging of the day.

Pros

DOMO is a phenomenal software for data querying. It is super clean and easy to navigate.

Cons

Requires someone with SQL knowledge to manage but is very powerful.

Pros

It's analytics is pretty easy to understand.

Cons

Some features are not too user friendly and can be confusing

Pros

That it has multiple forms to showcase data and selections to create reports.

Cons

It was simple in many functions and we only displayed it for day to day sales tracking.

Pros

I had to adapt to it on the recommendation of one of my customers. The functionalities are interesting.

Cons

Unfortunately, I couldn't switch the language to French.

Pros

How inexpensive it is. Compared to its competitors, Domo is the most affordable option. By no means does this make it the best solution.

Cons

1) It's functionality is a weak version of Tableau. 2) Their customer service is beyond horrific. Our experience with their platform was sub-par. Renewal notifications were sent to the email address of an employee who is no longer here, and Domo is now demanding we owe them for a multiple year contract. When we politely asked to have it nullified, they sent it to collections. You may save money initially, but you will most likely lose it long term.

Pros

The ease of creating our own reports and analytics.

Cons

Sometimes the reporting can be clunky and time consuming to read and share

Pros

I love using Domo. It is a great product that gets the job done well.

Cons

It is a little expensive and can be hard to customize.
