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

"Domo has a lot of connections using APIs where you can use data from different databases, such as NoSQLs, SQL databases, and other connections. These connections exist to obtain data and transform whatever that you want."
"I mostly see it as an ETL which has many system connectors. It does a good job of ETL."
"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."
"It's a night and day change."
"If you've actually lived the "Domo life," it's hard to get along with anything else after that."
"With Domo, we can do everything in one place; we don't need a separate database, we can do ETL and the visualization in one location, it is completely cloud-based, and since we are a healthcare provider, we chose the secure PSI-certified instance of the public cloud."
"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 ease of use, overall, is one of the valuable features, as is the ease of setup. Other than making sure IT was aware of, and agreed with our proceeding, we did not need IT for any of the setup. The ease of setup is more valuable than you might think. The ease of configuring the security policies, setting up groups, and setting up personalized data permissions so that only certain people can see certain data — that stuff is amazing... Domo really is extraordinarily full-featured, but it's really easy to use."
"Helps to compare production costs across different departments."
"Cube generation is a valuable feature."
"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 allows us to calculate the distributed cost across activities."
"The product helped determine the organization's true cost of providing its products and services to customers."
 

Cons

"It is expensive."
"Domo or any other BI tool has room for improvement, in particular, in the calculations. User-guided material isn't available for calculations. The tool, though user-friendly, could also be more customizable, especially when you're building a dashboard. Data integration could also be improved in Domo because even if the tool connects to multiple data sources, some hiccups still arise and need to be addressed."
"The forecasting feature, the regression features, and the Python libraries could all be improved. They're all in beta."
"One of the biggest problems is that end users require a license to run their own reports and dashboards, which are fairly expensive."
"The site is cluttered with hundreds of KPIs which make navigation difficult and is confusing to the eye."
"Domo is losing out in the pricing area. We tried pitching Domo to many of our clients, and they liked it initially, but the pricing point was something they were not comfortable with."
"They could use more charts. They have had a very limited number of charts we can use. I believe, now, there are somewhere around 30 of them, but they could definitely use some more options."
"It's too early for me to say that something needs improvement, but there are times when there have been some flexibility issues with Domo... Tableau has a window function which can be integrated into a calculated field. That is missing in Domo so you have to make changes to the data set using ETL or SQL."
"It could be made much more simpler. Most of the time it looks like a black box for developers."
"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."
"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"
"We experienced severe performance issues when the models created are getting more details and becoming more complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive compared to one of its competitors."
"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."
"No matter if you're a developer or an end-user, the licensing cost is around $12 per user per month."
"It is on the pricier end."
"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."
"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."
"The price that they offered was around $200 per user license. It was pretty cheap at that time compared to other companies. I think they have revamped their pricing structure since then."
