Founder & CEO at Lanzar
Have saved significant operational costs and streamlined alert-driven analytics with customizable dashboards
I definitely see some disadvantages in Apache Superset, particularly in the tagging feature which is not up to the mark, creating a little bit of mess for the administrators. We work with a Role-Based Access Control feature in the product. I assess this feature as good; they have permissions which are in more plain English, but there is a little bit of convenience missed out because if I have to create a super user apart from admin, I need to add all the permissions manually.

Have improved workflow efficiency through custom reports but encountered formatting limitations
The downsides of Domo are that we don't have a feature in the same column. When data comes in a time format, text format, and number format, we cannot segregate and create conditional formatting in that column. If in the future they develop this feature, it will benefit more users. Domo requires maintenance on my end, such as updates. I am maintaining some dashboards on a weekly basis and monthly basis daily reports. Because we need to upload in SFTP, we cannot schedule or auto-schedule due to rate purposes. We manually handle the data sets. If there were an option to reduce the cost, it would be easier to access.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Apache Superset is a lightweight reporting tool with a lot of functions and flexibility, where you can build the dataset, build charts, and dashboards from the user interface."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Superset is the easy way to configure dashboards as reports or analyses and it's easy to use and intuitive. Users do not need a lot of training to use the solution."
"It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category."
"The solution supports a rich set of charts and enables users to create their own dashboards."
"It's very easy, reliable, and trustable because it's an Apache open-source product."
"The main benefit I have seen from working with Apache Superset so far is the speed from discovery and SQL to making charts and dashboards, along with its customizability."
"I see savings from using Apache Superset in both time and money, particularly with the cost reduced by roughly 99% compared to Tableau where we previously paid almost 50k annually."
"What I appreciate the most about Apache Superset is that it's free and easy to set up."
"Domo is a great help to our organization because, prior to Domo, we were using an Excel base, but as we shifted to Domo, most of our reports were automated and displayed real-time for our end users, saving a lot of time and cost and allowing us to focus on our core functions."
"The best improvement is the data availability; for an organization that has over 12,000 users, having data on the cloud for anyone, anytime, to see their live stats is really different."
"The best thing is that the data storage is pretty much free. I can store as much data as I want, from different sources."
"It produces the best output."
"Distribution of visualizations via a web portal is valuable, but really is basic table stakes."
"Unlike some other visualization tools, users can log in and directly view the data without needing to play around or do more steps, like with Tableau or Power BI, making Domo quite helpful."
"When it comes to Domo, we have one platform for data integration as well as for data modeling, transformations, and creating visualizations such as charts, graphs, and cards, which is beneficial because in Power BI we have multiple modules for these functions."
"On reflection, one of Domo’s strongest qualities was that the end result was extremely accessible to non-computer-literate users."
 

Cons

"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."
"One potential area for improvement in Apache Superset is that it must be installed in a dedicated Docker image, which could be a limitation since the goal is to embed Apache Superset in a product offering."
"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"I definitely see some disadvantages in Apache Superset, particularly in the tagging feature which is not up to the mark, creating a little bit of mess for the administrators."
"Building a full-fledged product or software as a service might be cumbersome due to performance limitations."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
"With Apache Superset, we had some problems with the permissions when we had too many users."
"Dark mode would be the main thing I would like; it does not really work because the chart text cannot be white in a dark mode setup, so it is not feasible."
"Data integration is okay, but not the best."
"The utilization part: We cannot play much with the UX/UI. While they have APIs, they kept on failing if the data volume was too large."
"If we have unwanted data in our data set as raw data, we need to cleanse and structure it first because having excessive data in Domo will increase loading time and occupy large amounts of space."
"It was zero. We paid for a year's contract and made no money from its use."
"More functions on the ETL side for the drag and drop ETL."
"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."
"Creating tables - In the current table feature, all of the line items are just that, line items."
"In Domo, sometimes it takes too much time to upload data. If improvements can happen in this area, that would be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apache Superset has a three-year licensing model."
"The price of Apache Superset is less than some of its competitors."
"Apache Superset is open-source and free."
"Apache Superset is an open-source solution."
"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."
"No matter if you're a developer or an end-user, the licensing cost is around $12 per user per month."
"It started out at about $600 a seat. However, then as we started to grow, it scaled that down to about $330 or 3$50 a seat, if I'm not mistaken."
"We are making money from Domo, and all our clients are happy with the information that they receive from it."
"For about 100 users our cost is $95,800."
"The price that they offered was around $200 per user license. It was pretty cheap at that time compared to other companies. I think they have revamped their pricing structure since then."
"I think it is reasonable."
"The solution is expensive compared to one of its competitors."
