Sentiment score

Sentiment score
6.1
SAP Analytics Cloud's customer service is responsive and knowledgeable but needs faster resolutions and improved technical support access.
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.
It's very easy to get technical support from Domo.
Support-wise, they are good.
We are satisfied with the technical support from SAP because when we reached out, we were able to get very good support from SAP colleagues.
I am satisfied with SAP's technical support team; they provide very good support.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.4
Domo efficiently scales with diverse user groups and data, though performance may vary with massive datasets, facing competition.
Sentiment score
7.3
SAP Analytics Cloud offers strong scalability and seamless integration, supporting diverse enterprises, though limited by data volume and licenses.
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.
When fetching files larger than 100 MB from SFTP or any other portal, Domo becomes slow due to the heavy file size.
Sigma, which is written for Snowflake, scales more easily than Domo.
I would rate its scalability up to nine on a scale of one to ten.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.1
Domo is generally stable, handling large data efficiently, with minor data refresh issues and connectivity dependent on internet quality.
Sentiment score
7.4
SAP Analytics Cloud is stable and reliable, but faces occasional connectivity and large dataset memory challenges.
In recent years, I haven't had such cases. It's quite stable and I don't have any reservations on its stability.
In terms of overall stability of the platform, it's very stable.
During that time, we faced issues from the project side as Domo was not visible in our portal.
 

Room For Improvement

Domo users seek improved data integration, visualization, browser compatibility, cost-effectiveness, and support, while desiring enhanced collaboration and customization features.
SAP Analytics Cloud needs better integration, visualization, real-time updates, flexible pricing, and enhanced AI capabilities for improved user experience.
End users require a license to run their own reports and dashboards, which are fairly expensive.
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.
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.
Documentation-wise, we see some gaps when trying to connect different solutions.
 

Setup Cost

Domo's pricing is higher but justified by robust features, flexible licensing, and included cloud infrastructure reducing IT needs.
SAP Analytics Cloud has higher pricing, but offers comprehensive features and integration, viewed as costly yet valuable by some.
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.
 

Valuable Features

Domo excels in ETL, data visualization, governance, and collaboration, offering user-friendly tools for handling complex data tasks.
SAP Analytics Cloud offers integration, user-friendly features, real-time analytics, and planning, supporting diverse business needs with scalability.
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.
I have been using it for four years and have been able to extract the information I need from it.
The most valuable feature of Domo is the fact that you can connect multiple inputs and you don't have to have a data warehouse.
For SuccessFactors and S/4HANA Cloud, there are pre-built reports available which are commonly used by customers.

Featured Reviews

Ruban Prasanna Dass SP - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
RamasamyTelungupalayam - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless integration, collaborative features, and enhances data exploration
There are several areas for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud. Firstly, features available in SAP Lumira are missing in SAP Analytics Cloud. Secondly, the predictive analytics functions, although promising, are currently only suitable for Proof of Concepts (POCs) and not for industrial-scale use. Lastly, the pricing model for the planning functionality is quite high and presents an entry barrier.
