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

"In my 15 years of professional experience in IT and Project Controls, this system is truly the one that is the unicorn."
"In Workbench 5, they have come up with a very useful feature called Upsert. When you're pushing data into the data set, if the data is already available it will update the data, and if that the data is not there it will insert it. That is a beneficial feature that they introduced in the latest version."
"This solution allows us to change our performance metrics and tracks our goals in real-time."
"The ETL tools they have in Redshift are pretty awesome... I can work in Redshift to get the data from AWS and work in Redshift, in Domo, to create Transforms and the data structure we need..."
"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."
"In general, of all the reporting tools I've used in the past, I have never been able to rapidly report and build dashboards faster than I have with this tool."
"With ETL transformations in SQL lists, you often write a lot of queries. You have to build a bunch of code for the data. With Domo, one of the pieces we have is Magic ETL. In Magic ETL, you don't need to write code. You don't need to be a specialist in SQL or any database query language."
"The most valuable feature currently is the self-service BI availability in Domo. I would say the data file fabric solutions where the users themselves are responsible for generating their own reports."
"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."
"Helps to compare production costs across different departments."
"The product allows us to calculate the distributed cost across activities."
"Cube generation is a valuable feature."
"The product helped determine the organization's true cost of providing its products and services to customers."
 

Cons

"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."
"If we have unwanted data in our data set as raw data, we need to cleanse and structure it first because having excessive data in Domo will increase loading time and occupy large amounts of space."
"However, this product has not been tested on a robust enterprise-scale application where we handle billions and billions of records, so this is where we see the application breathing out a bit."
"One of the biggest problems is that end users require a license to run their own reports and dashboards, which are fairly expensive."
"In Tableau, you can create virtually any kind of visualization. Based on your creativity, you can create a visualization on a human body structure, you can create a visualization on anything that you want. But Domo is limited to a few kinds of visualization views: standard things like bar, pie, and some other charts... I would like to see them add new views for presenting the data in the visualization space."
"One of the improvements that could be made is related to improved storage options."
"There were very few cases on some of the tables, the data tables, where I wish there was an additional feature or two."
"We were vastly over-sold. Domo was sold as an easy-to-implement-yourself product, but this is completely unrealistic."
"It could be made much more simpler. Most of the time it looks like a black box for developers."
"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"
"The usability needs to be improved but bear in mind that we did not have the latest update."
"We experienced severe performance issues when the models created are getting more details and becoming more complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For about 100 users our cost is $95,800."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is expensive compared to one of its competitors."
"Domo is slightly costly but it's much cheaper than some."
"It is on the pricier end."
