A cloud solution to centralize and analyze all processes with technical support
There are multiple stages of the availability. The first primary thing is cost. The second one is how large your data is and whether you want to research data in real-time or if it's frequency-based. There are much better solutions like Superset or Looker. If you look at consolidated data that refreshes regularly, like once daily, Sisense is definitely on the good side. It doesn't offer anything extra except for the good visualizations. Sisense is on top of the market. There is an associated brand value. If you want to share reports with the clients, that would also be easier. We were evaluating Sisense, but the pricing was too high for us. We decided to try it and purchased an initial membership plan for 10 or 13 people. We worked directly with the Sisense team, but for a long time, we could not onboard our dataset. We explored multiple solutions, including onboarding a sample dataset first or directly catching the data through queries inside items. This is their primary KPI and USP - you can write questions in site settings and people. We tried to host this somehow, but all of our attempts failed. After multiple discussions, I could onboard the queries directly with the help of the support team. We have dashboards all over the place. It was getting tough for us to track down where the information was. We needed a central location where all the dashboards are present. We were also hopeful that the AI features in Sisense could help us point to deeper insights that we cannot find ourselves all the time. We were evaluating between Sisense, Superset, and Looker Studio. And I think Sisense is relatively fast compared to Looker Studio, for sure. Looker Studio also has some build problems, such as the inability to support custom queries. So, it's not a scalable solution for us. One person currently does maintenance, but we are considering two or three for this job. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All our client SLAs and daily and weekly dashboards are tracked on Domo."
"One feature which I have found to be very interesting is the Beast manager, where you can create calculated fields. They are shared in one common repository so someone else can use the same calculated fields; they don't have to rewrite or reinvent the APIs."
"The dashboarding itself was pretty easy. So both the front and the back end were positive in this case."
"The fact that you can add any data source is valuable. The entire data handling suite they have, all the apps, etc., is pretty amazing. One of the key things, not being a techie or a data-warehouse guy, is that you can connect data sources, and do all kinds of pretty amazing things."
"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."
"Using the "cards" which function as preconfigured reports or views. I use many of them simultaneously on an organized page, with filters that allow me to see high-level information as well as subsets across the dataset, in a few clicks. Many Excel-challenged users love to use this product for its simplicity."
"We've worked with all the features of Domo. Among the most important are Pivot and Sumo Cards. We can use drill-down from the top-most level with a click, generating charts."
"What makes me really fond of Domo is the ETL because it enables us to maximize a single platform for pulling reports and automating things. We can send the raw data from a third-party platform and do the rest of the ETL in Domo, including transforming data, adding columns, etc."
"This solution is easy to learn how to use."
"Visually displaying data."
"Allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs."
"ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data."
"The solution's technical support team is good."
"No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution."
"​Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources."
 

Cons

"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."
"The forecasting feature, the regression features, and the Python libraries could all be improved. They're all in beta."
"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 is very difficult too, if we do have specific requests or errors that we can't get figure out - especially when it comes to the development platform, developing custom connectors or doing any kind of API work, custom cards - in that there's a lag in the response time."
"One of the improvements that could be made is related to improved storage options."
"If Domo had a Copilot feature, you could interact with the graphs and talk to the graphs and tables."
"I would like to publish a dashboard for the employees so that they can also see the performance of our organization. But that is not a feature in Domo, although it's something that Zoho provided."
"I would like to see more flexibility in their pricing structure. The trend is moving from database pricing to a user-license pricing model. That would be a benefit if they wanted to reevaluate their pricing structure."
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually."
"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."
"The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
"The solution's setup process could be easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are making money from Domo, and all our clients are happy with the information that they receive from it."
"It is on the pricier end."
"For about 100 users our cost is $95,800."
"They've built an "app economy." Some of them are really expensive, so they're not for startups and smaller companies. They're more like enterprise tools. We couldn't afford some of them, because they were so crazy expensive. But if I was working for a bank, insurance company, or some bigger corporation then, for sure, you could justify those prices... It was silly expensive back then and it probably still is, or even more expensive."
"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."
"Domo is slightly costly but it's much cheaper than some."
"The pricing differs from customer to customer, depending on the package."
"No matter if you're a developer or an end-user, the licensing cost is around $12 per user per month."
"This solution is more expensive than Tableau, Qlik and Dundas. It is an expensive tool. They charge $75,000 while Tableau is $45,000."
