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

"The web interface is easy to use and intuitive."
"The flexibility and usability are probably the best features, and I really appreciate what they're doing now with workflow and AI agents, allowing users to build that kind of agentic flow where data analytics and traditional ETL can quickly and easily embed AI capabilities, which is extremely powerful."
"Over the last year we have saved about half of the amount of the subscription, it has reduced our costs more than we expected, it has saved us manpower, money, and made things more efficient."
"The user interface is quite good."
"The fact that you can add any data source is valuable. The entire data handling suite they have, all the apps, etc., is pretty amazing. One of the key things, not being a techie or a data-warehouse guy, is that you can connect data sources, and do all kinds of pretty amazing things."
"The best thing is that the data storage is pretty much free. I can store as much data as I want, from different sources."
"Domo has positively impacted my organization by giving everyone the ability to see different data cards and make decisions quicker without relying on BI."
"Using the "cards" which function as preconfigured reports or views. I use many of them simultaneously on an organized page, with filters that allow me to see high-level information as well as subsets across the dataset, in a few clicks. Many Excel-challenged users love to use this product for its simplicity."
"Cube generation is a valuable feature."
"Helps to compare production costs across different departments."
"The product allows us to calculate the distributed cost across activities."
"We use ABM as an expense allocation model and it has improved the awareness and accountability of the cost incurred due to the traceability feature."
"The product helped determine the organization's true cost of providing its products and services to customers."
 

Cons

"It is expensive."
"There were very few cases on some of the tables, the data tables, where I wish there was an additional feature or two."
"They should include service-based reporting features."
"Domo has moved to a consumption pricing model, which can be both advantageous and challenging."
"The tool is rather pricey for what you get, especially if you use lots of API-based data sources (since in general you have to go through their consulting arm to set up new sources or arrange for new queries to existing after initial set up at ~$225 per hour)."
"The UI has issues with some browsers and small glitches that hinder performance or functionality."
"I would like to see more flexibility in their pricing structure. The trend is moving from database pricing to a user-license pricing model. That would be a benefit if they wanted to reevaluate their pricing structure."
"Domo or any other BI tool has room for improvement, in particular, in the calculations."
"We experienced severe performance issues when the models created are getting more details and becoming more complex."
"The usability needs to be improved but bear in mind that we did not have the latest update."
"It could be made much more simpler. Most of the time it looks like a black box for developers."
"The data integration is very complex Visualization of the cost flow is not user-friendly It takes hours to build OLAP cubes to analyze the results of the model"
"The interface is poorly designed and could really use an improvement to compete with other comparable software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Domo is slightly costly but it's much cheaper than some."
"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."
"For about 100 users our cost is $95,800."
"No matter if you're a developer or an end-user, the licensing cost is around $12 per user per month."
"I think it is reasonable."
"Domo has more than one licensing model. You can choose between the yearly subscription and the per-user licensing model. The tool is flexible in terms of licensing. As for the cost, Domo is an end-to-end BI tool so its pricing is a little higher than other players in the market, for example, non end-to-end BI tools such as OBIEE and Tableau specific only for business intelligence and presenting data to the end users, unlike Domo which handles everything. You want to get Domo as an integration tool, an ETL tool, etc. As the tool is end-to-end, its cost is always going to be a little higher than other BI tools, but it's worth paying because you won't have to spend extra for other activities. After all, Domo can do those activities."
"I believe that the investment in Domo was worthwhile because it allowed for the organization to jump in quickly, with little training. There are different plans available based on the requirements."
"Because it's software as a service, it's more expensive on the face of it. But there are a lot of variables. I don't have to pay for servers or for infrastructure. I don't have to pay labor for my IT organization to set up or maintain the environment. I don't have to pay for them to upgrade the software, and test it, etc., because when it rolls out, it is transparent and seamless for us. But, because of that, it costs more, I imagine, than Sisense, or Yellowfin, or Power BI. A lot of those make it sound like they're inexpensive, but when you add in all the hidden costs and all of the overhead, it's probably comparable."
