Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
5.7
Domo enhances efficiency, decision-making, and revenue growth, though some face limited returns due to high costs or underutilization.
Sentiment score
6.2
ThoughtSpot offers time savings and decision-making benefits, though some struggle with costs and measuring financial returns due to adoption issues.
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.
Founder & CEO at AI-OT
Using ThoughtSpot has resulted in significant time savings and improved business sales by allowing us to identify sellers and buyers across regions, facilitating targeted marketing.

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
Domo's customer and technical support is generally praised but needs improvement in responsiveness, especially for complex issues.
Sentiment score
5.7
ThoughtSpot customer service is supportive with quick responses, but some users experience delays and find the knowledge base lacking.
No matter how complex the problem is, it can be taken care of by the support team.

They were quite professional and in around three to five working days, they had identified where they suspected there was an issue and I was able to fix it.
Analytics Manager at KOKO Networks
It's very easy to get technical support from Domo.

The knowledge base for ThoughtSpot is less robust compared to others.
Sr Data Analytics Consultant at Capgemini
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.2
Domo supports large-scale data and user roles, but some users experience technical challenges with ETL processes and storage limits.
Sentiment score
5.9
ThoughtSpot is highly scalable with data warehouse integration, but security governance and advanced features may be challenging.
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.
Assistant Manager at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Everything comes under the same umbrella and it's pretty user-friendly.

Tableau, Power BI, or Looker have separate tools for preparation, customization, and storytelling.
Sr Data Analytics Consultant at Capgemini
The platform does not have technical problems with scaling data or connections.
Software Engineer (Data specialist) at Salesforce
As our data has grown, I have validated huge datasets and complex models without significant issues.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.6
Domo is praised for reliable data handling, minimal downtime, and efficiency, though some encounter occasional server connectivity issues.
Sentiment score
6.1
ThoughtSpot is reliable with high stability and minimal issues, but some users face indexing delays and feature limitations.
In recent years, I haven't had such cases. It's quite stable and I don't have any reservations on its stability.
Analytics Manager at KOKO Networks
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.
Assistant Manager at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
I use it primarily for large datasets, and it performs faster than regular data visualization tools such as Power BI, which has limits on dataset size.
Sr Data Analytics Consultant at Capgemini
The upgrades are smooth with no downtime, which is super important.
Software Engineer (Data specialist) at Salesforce
The responsiveness of accessing live data is exceptional and faster than most other BI tools.
Business Intelligence & Reporting Manager at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Domo users face data management and integration challenges, need better visualization, real-time processing, and improved UI and collaboration features.
ThoughtSpot users seek better visualization, customization, integration, user interface, data loading, pricing, governance, and tool integration features.
End users require a license to run their own reports and dashboards, which are fairly expensive.
Technical Project Manager at a educational organization with 201-500 employees
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.
Analytics Manager at KOKO Networks
Currently, it is not as customizable as the options available on Power BI or Tableau.
Sr Data Analytics Consultant at Capgemini
Handling governance when there are many models and dashboards is complex.

Setup Cost

Domo's pricing is higher but seen as valuable for its features, with flexible models and negotiable terms encouraged.
ThoughtSpot offers flexible, competitive pricing with various models, being comparable to Tableau and higher than Power BI.
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.
Assistant Manager at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
HubSpot is expensive.

Domo is praised for ease of use, data integration, real-time insights, and collaboration, enhancing data accessibility for non-technical users.
ThoughtSpot offers fast data search, AI-driven insights, and self-service analytics, enhancing decision-making and user interaction.
App Studio is valuable because it allows all the customization we needed; we can decode it, with the view and grid which are all I need, drill-downs, and everything can be done the way I need it.
Senior Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
None of the other tools provide the kind of support that enables chatting and working on the same item simultaneously.

I have been using it for four years and have been able to extract the information I need from it.

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.

Creates user-friendly analysis environments for large datasets
The tool is user-friendly for the end users. It is primarily a search-based tool. Users do not need a technical background to work directly on the dataset. Its compatibility with most databases, including the latest from FlexMovely and Redshift, allows users to create joins and worksheets easily. ThoughtSpot is fast, even with one to ten terabytes of data.
