Domo users report efficiency and data visibility gains, though experiences with costs, functionality, and financial benefits vary significantly.
Sentiment score
6.6
Fivetran offers significant time and cost-saving benefits, simplifying data integration and maintenance while reducing reliance on data engineers.
If you're actually using Domo at a very limited case and you're being charged $20,000, we've seen ROI there, but once it goes really high, you really need to check your metrics and check your profit.

It's very easy to get technical support from Domo.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.2
Domo excels in scalability and integration, supporting diverse businesses with real-time analytics despite potential cost concerns.
Sentiment score
7.1
Fivetran scales well for various businesses, accommodating data needs but can be costly and complex for smaller enterprises.
The fact that you're able to easily identify the pipelines or flows that have errors, and it notifies you when you're building a pipeline where you can run previews and tell where to fix issues, is helpful.
Analytics Manager at KOKO Networks
When fetching files larger than 100 MB from SFTP or any other portal, Domo becomes slow due to the heavy file size.
Assistant Manager at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Everything comes under the same umbrella and it's pretty user-friendly.

In terms of overall stability of the platform, it's very stable.
Chief Technology Officer ☆ Chief Product Officer ☆ Fractional CTO ☆ Board Advisor at a manufacturing company with 1-10 employees

Room For Improvement

Domo struggles with pricing, interface, and data issues, needing better visualizations, support, ETL, AI, and customization features.
Fivetran needs improvements in connectors, real-time processing, user interface, pricing, support, documentation, and integration capabilities.
End users require a license to run their own reports and dashboards, which are fairly expensive.
Technical Project Manager at a educational organization with 201-500 employees
Some technical aspects such as Beast Mode calculation could be improved in Domo, as it would provide more clarity and help in giving insights to clients or customer business team requirements.
Senior Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
One of the areas where we've had frustrations with Domo is the aesthetics. The aesthetics are quite limited compared to other BI tools such as Tableau and Power BI.
Analytics Manager at KOKO Networks
From a cost perspective, if the number of connectors is lesser, then Fivetran is not the most cost-efficient option.
Founder at a marketing services firm with 1-10 employees
I want more flexibility during ingestion, specifically for transformations needed beforehand.
Team Lead Data Engineer at Data Pilot
Fivetran could improve by adapting more for technical users and by providing more options for such users.
Lead Data Engineer at Sensilab
 

Setup Cost

Domo offers flexible, negotiable pricing, often high but justified by integrated features, comparable to tools like Tableau.
Fivetran's pricing is high, favoring larger enterprises with discounts available; smaller companies may find it prohibitive.
Domo's pricing is high compared to other BI tools, and it is costly.

For long-time users, it can become expensive, but the trade-off is access to the entire platform instead of licensing different components separately.

They quoted approximately one dollar per KB.

None of the other tools provide the kind of support that enables chatting and working on the same item simultaneously.

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.
Hafiz Usman - PeerSpot reviewer
Team Lead Data Engineer at Data Pilot
Has accelerated data integration workflows and supports seamless development of custom connectors
I've worked extensively with Fivetran, mainly used for extraction purposes, and I've worked with the transformation element in it as well. Fivetran not only has built-in connectors but also provides SDK connectors, allowing us to develop our own connectors in an easy manner. I don't have to write raw Python scripts or dumping scripts; it offers straightforward examples and guidelines, making it much simpler to develop custom connectors inside Fivetran. We've been able to develop many custom connectors as well, which is unique and beneficial for having everything centralized instead of having those connectors located elsewhere. One of the best features by Fivetran is its clean, simple, and intuitive UI. It includes a transformation section where I can deploy my DBT queries and scripts. It also supplies good tracking capabilities for billing estimates and user permissions, allowing for customization to the desired level. The number of connectors it has remains a standout feature, and within connectors, the options available are very helpful. Although it sometimes appears static due to its built-in nature, it offers good flexibility for data transformation and caching, which I appreciate because it saves us extensive script-writing time.
