ROI

Sentiment score
5.7
Domo users report efficiency and data visibility gains, though experiences with costs, functionality, and financial benefits vary significantly.
Sentiment score
6.4
ThoughtSpot offers time savings and strategic benefits, though ROI quantification is challenging and adoption varies despite its user-friendly interface.
If you're actually using Domo at a very limited case and you're being charged $20,000, we've seen ROI there, but once it goes really high, you really need to check your metrics and check your profit.

6.2
Domo excels in scalability and integration, supporting diverse businesses with real-time analytics despite potential cost concerns.
Sentiment score
6.1
ThoughtSpot is praised for scalability and flexibility but faces challenges in governance; contract type affects its scalability potential.
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.
Analytics Manager at KOKO Networks
When fetching files larger than 100 MB from SFTP or any other portal, Domo becomes slow due to the heavy file size.

Everything comes under the same umbrella and it's pretty user-friendly.

In terms of overall stability of the platform, it's very stable.
Chief Technology Officer ☆ Chief Product Officer ☆ Fractional CTO ☆ Board Advisor at a manufacturing company with 1-10 employees
During that time, we faced issues from the project side as Domo was not visible in our portal.

Room For Improvement

Domo struggles with pricing, interface, and data issues, needing better visualizations, support, ETL, AI, and customization features.
ThoughtSpot lacks customization, flexibility, and affordable options, with users desiring improved integrations, usability, and a free learning version.
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.
Senior Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Currently, it is not as customizable as the options available on Power BI or Tableau.

Handling governance when there are many models and dashboards is complex.

Setup Cost

Domo offers flexible, negotiable pricing, often high but justified by integrated features, comparable to tools like Tableau.
ThoughtSpot offers competitive pricing with flexible negotiation, generally costing more than Power BI but less than Tableau.
Domo's pricing is high compared to other BI tools, and it is costly.
Senior Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
For long-time users, it can become expensive, but the trade-off is access to the entire platform instead of licensing different components separately.
Chief Technology Officer ☆ Chief Product Officer ☆ Fractional CTO ☆ Board Advisor at a manufacturing company with 1-10 employees
They quoted approximately one dollar per KB.

Featured Reviews

Assistant Manager at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
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.
Purity Wairimu - PeerSpot reviewer
Financial Analyst at Nestlé
Self-service analytics has empowered teams and now drives faster data-driven decisions
I have an experience of four years using ThoughtSpot. ThoughtSpot is very easy to use. Even non-technical users find it very easy to use and user-friendly. Some of the best features ThoughtSpot offers are innovation, ease of use, and data analytics. Reporting development is also pretty easy, making complex formulas slightly easier. Additionally, dashboarding for non-technical people, easy search of data, ease of getting insights, AI-driven analytics, and the ability to easily build charts are highlights. ThoughtSpot also offers data connection with live data sources. ThoughtSpot's scalability is impressive; it can handle large data easily, and performance has been powerful and reliable. The AI-driven analytics capabilities in ThoughtSpot help to predict future outcomes and are very helpful in tracking data, and performance is great.
