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 ease of graphing is a great feature, as it takes the pivot out of pivot tables because once the parameters are set up, the same graphs will continue to be populated based on the new information so there is no need to keep creating graphs."
"We find the ease of using the solution valuable."
"Domo is not a difficult tool to learn. All you need to know is the SQL for the ETL part. You don't need to write much code. That's the great part. It uses legacy languages, like SQL, which is very common among developers who then don't have to go and learn Domo's own syntax. Therefore, you don't have to learn another hard language to use Domo."
"The stability of Domo is excellent."
"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."
"It has the best GUI. And it already has an ETL tool embedded in it..."
"Domo has positively impacted my organization by giving everyone the ability to see different data cards and make decisions quicker without relying on BI."
"The solution is highly stable."
"The product helped determine the organization's true cost of providing its products and services to customers."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"There were very few cases on some of the tables, the data tables, where I wish there was an additional feature or two."
"Sometimes the tool tends to be a little laggy, but it depends on what kind of volume of data that we are working in."
"There are areas to improve on like visualization options, and there are areas I think would be valuable for Domo to explore, such as data governance, and providing sandbox or development instances, but updates are frequent and smooth, and the value of the tool in its simplicity and ability to drive user adoption far outweighs any missing visualization features."
"Domo has moved to a consumption pricing model, which can be both advantageous and challenging."
"All of it. Sometimes it doesn't calculate correctly, it runs slowly, and doesn't offer a solution to things I'm used to doing."
"One of the biggest problems is that end users require a license to run their own reports and dashboards, which are fairly expensive."
"More functions on the ETL side for the drag and drop ETL."
"The ETL way of storing is not up to mark. You have to rely on the naming convention that you're using in Domo because there are no folder systems where you can collate all your workflows and put them into separate folders. A folder system should be there so you can easily identify how you are working. Once you want to make some changes to your ETL, then you can see the whole lineage, identifying what is there and not there."
"We experienced severe performance issues when the models created are getting more details and becoming more complex."
"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 usability needs to be improved but bear in mind that we did not have the latest update."
"The interface is poorly designed and could really use an improvement to compete with other comparable software."
"It could be made much more simpler. Most of the time it looks like a black box for developers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"They've built an "app economy." Some of them are really expensive, so they're not for startups and smaller companies. They're more like enterprise tools. We couldn't afford some of them, because they were so crazy expensive. But if I was working for a bank, insurance company, or some bigger corporation then, for sure, you could justify those prices... It was silly expensive back then and it probably still is, or even more expensive."
"We are making money from Domo, and all our clients are happy with the information that they receive from it."
"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."
"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."
"I think it is reasonable."
"The pricing differs from customer to customer, depending on the package."
