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

6.0

Zendesk provides significant ROI with cost savings, productivity boosts, and improved efficiency through better ticket management and supportive sales team.

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.

I can tell you that we probably saved at least three employees full-time with the ticket management and the automation and the macros and the user follow-up being built in.

AmandaSanchez

Consultant and Startup Founder at AimHi Enterprises

Time saved is definitely a benefit because it puts all of our tickets in one spot.

There appears to be a lack of connection between the bot and the agents, making it feel scripted rather than helpful.

Jairo Vega

The technical support provided by Zendesk has been very satisfactory.

JohanSkibdahl

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.

Denis Mwaniki

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.

Room For Improvement

Domo struggles with pricing, interface, and data issues, needing better visualizations, support, ETL, AI, and customization features.

Zendesk users seek enhancements like efficient ticket merging, advanced reporting, better integrations, improved usability, and AI features.

End users require a license to run their own reports and dashboards, which are fairly expensive.

reviewer2585304

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.

reviewer2757087

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.

Denis Mwaniki

Analytics Manager at KOKO Networks

For more quotes and insights, download the Domo report

Zendesk could actually support HTML on the tickets so we could format our text better than the current options such as size, bold, italic, or underscored, because the text processing is too simple.

Filipe Abreu

Junior system analyst at Wevt clous

Zendesk is missing an AI aspect that could help provide quick answers based on the knowledge housed within the platform.

Jairo Vega

Technical Support Engineer/ QA at a computer software company with 11-50 employees

Zendesk is amazing, and because they are always working on a new upgrade or a new integration, they are very forward-thinking from an engineering perspective.

Dimitri Cooper

Project Manager III at City of Union City Government

Setup Cost

Domo offers flexible, negotiable pricing, often high but justified by integrated features, comparable to tools like Tableau.

Zendesk's pricing is high but flexible, justified by its value in saving time and enhancing customer experience.

Domo's pricing is high compared to other BI tools, and it is costly.

reviewer2757087

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.

Dave Ramos

Chief Technology Officer ☆ Chief Product Officer ☆ Fractional CTO ☆ Board Advisor at a wellness & fitness company with 1-10 employees

They quoted approximately one dollar per KB.

Valuable Features

Domo provides user-friendly data transformation, real-time insights, and secure governance, ideal for large-scale deployments and efficient decision-making.

Zendesk enhances productivity with customizable ticket management, CRM integrations, automation, and multi-channel support for improved customer satisfaction.

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.

reviewer2757087

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.

BijayKumar

It allows us to handle more support cases with fewer people due to its advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.

JohanSkibdahl

CEO at Etcetera Networks

Zendesk is way cheaper than other ITSM platforms such as ServiceNow, providing a good platform at a lower price so we could offer good support with a low budget for the license.

Filipe Abreu

Junior system analyst at Wevt clous

Being able to put response counters on certain tickets and have certain ones that are high priority and have a tighter SLA than lower priority items, being able to categorize them as a question versus an urgent request, and being able to bucket them as feature requests or product enhancements.

Featured Reviews

Ruban Prasanna Dass SP

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.

Macros and automation have streamlined workflows and reduced manual effort across support teams

The ability to communicate on the Zendesk ticket through the actual user software, so TOPs, would have been helpful. Somehow seeing a user's ticket history within our app would have been beneficial. That is the only thing that I do not think existed at the time that might have been helpful. Some people struggled with Zendesk, but it was always easy enough to show them how to use it and what they were missing. The only times we really had people report concerns about it was when they did not understand that it could do that or how to use it in that way.
