Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
5.7
Domo users report efficiency and data visibility gains, though experiences with costs, functionality, and financial benefits vary significantly.
Sentiment score
6.4
Oracle OBIEE improved reporting and decision-making but had mixed ROI feedback; automation offered notable time savings.
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.

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.8
Domo customer service is responsive and knowledgeable, but resource challenges sometimes delay resolution, especially for smaller customers.
Sentiment score
5.8
Oracle OBIEE's customer service is prompt and knowledgeable but often unhelpful, with delays and recurring repetitive queries.
No matter how complex the problem is, it can be taken care of by the support team.
Data Analyst at Anonymous
They were quite professional and in around three to five working days, they had identified where they suspected there was an issue and I was able to fix it.
Analytics Manager at KOKO Networks
It's very easy to get technical support from Domo.
Chief Technology Officer ☆ Chief Product Officer ☆ Fractional CTO ☆ Board Advisor at a manufacturing company with 1-10 employees
The tendency to route users to sales personnel with limited technical expertise detracts from the support experience.

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
6.9
Oracle OBIEE is scalable, supporting large enterprises and databases, despite occasional challenges and performance issues during heavy processing.
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.
Data Analyst at Anonymous
While Oracle OBIEE is scalable, it is more of a niche product designed to work specifically with Oracle systems.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.7
Users consider Domo stable with high uptime, efficient handling of large datasets, and quick resolution of maintenance issues.
Sentiment score
6.7
Oracle OBIEE is stable and reliable, though performance can drop with large datasets and many users simultaneously.
In recent years, I haven't had such cases. It's quite stable and I don't have any reservations on its stability.
Analytics Manager at KOKO Networks
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
During that time, we faced issues from the project side as Domo was not visible in our portal.
Assistant Manager at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
 

Room For Improvement

Domo struggles with pricing, interface, and data issues, needing better visualizations, support, ETL, AI, and customization features.
Oracle OBIEE's challenges include outdated visuals, complexity, performance issues with large datasets, high cost, and insufficient support.
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
Oracle OBIEE has a steep learning curve compared to tools like SQL Server or Power BI.
Innovation & Data Management Enterprise Architect at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees
The RPD, the semantic layer, is the steepest hurdle. Security integration, integrating with LDAP or Active Directory, is rarely plug and play and requires deep knowledge of WebLogic.

Setup Cost

Domo offers flexible, negotiable pricing, often high but justified by integrated features, comparable to tools like Tableau.
Oracle OBIEE is costly, requiring extensive negotiations, with high setup and ongoing fees, yet valued for robust performance.
Domo's pricing is high compared to other BI tools, and it is costly.
Senior Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
For long-time users, it can become expensive, but the trade-off is access to the entire platform instead of licensing different components separately.
Chief Technology Officer ☆ Chief Product Officer ☆ Fractional CTO ☆ Board Advisor at a manufacturing company with 1-10 employees
They quoted approximately one dollar per KB.
Assistant Manager at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Oracle OBIEE is quite expensive, especially when compared to Microsoft's solutions.

Valuable Features

Domo provides user-friendly data transformation, real-time insights, and secure governance, ideal for large-scale deployments and efficient decision-making.
Oracle OBIEE provides robust dashboards, self-service analytics, powerful data modeling, secure access, and excels in data visualization and integration.
App Studio is valuable because it allows all the customization we needed; we can decode it, with the view and grid which are all I need, drill-downs, and everything can be done the way I need it.
Senior Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
None of the other tools provide the kind of support that enables chatting and working on the same item simultaneously.
Senior Analyst at Blend360
Domo has positively impacted my organization by giving everyone the ability to see different data cards and make decisions quicker without relying on BI.
Marketing Manager at a construction company with 501-1,000 employees
A valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ability to automate some tasks, such as invoice analysis, saving a significant amount of clerical work.
Innovation & Data Management Enterprise Architect at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees
The best features in Oracle OBIEE include improved visualizations, look and feel, and user-friendliness, particularly in OAC, which is the extended version in cloud where DV has been introduced.

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.

Unified semantic layer has driven informed credit risk decisions and real-time analytical insight
Performance-related issues are a concern, as in multiple reports I have seen, some reports were poorly performing. We can focus on implementation of performance so that reports are delivered within seconds. The user interface and self-service experience can be improved through modernization of the UI, addressing self-service limitations, and integrating with mobile. Technical and administrative complexities can also be addressed. Complexities such as system configuration require attention. In the initial setup of Oracle OBIEE, there are multiple things starting from infrastructure provisioning, database schemas, and WebLogic server installations. However, the RPD, the semantic layer, is the steepest hurdle. Security integration, integrating with LDAP or Active Directory, is rarely plug and play and requires deep knowledge of WebLogic. Deep knowledge is necessary when starting with the initial setup of Oracle OBIEE. Other dependencies include Java middleware and client tools. Since Oracle OBIEE deals with huge data, report performance is the biggest concern. The out-of-the-box setup is rarely optimized, so we need to manually check configuration files, such as nqsconfig.ini file settings. For recommendations in Oracle OBIEE, from what I have seen, we work with star schemas in the RPD. I always aim for the star schema in the business model, even if the physical source is normalized. This approach will impact the performance, speed of the data, and accuracy. Oracle OBIEE could improve to allow other schemas as well. Performance is a major area for improvement, and they should work on aggregating the persistence and improve the persistence wizard where we implement aggregations. Caching features have been given, including event polling tables where we can do purging and seeding, but the main focus should be with respect to schema designs.
