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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."
"Ingres is the only database solution that has maintained a level of consistency and integrity about the way users interact with it."
"What I appreciate most about Domo is that it's the simplest visualization tool, not complex at all, and it has a very simple interface making it easier for teams to adopt."
"There are many valuable features, especially the charts and graphs that make it easy to pass information to people that are not really technical."
"We find the ease of using the solution valuable."
"I think the ROI was a month and a half, it was really fast."
"The flexibility and usability are probably the best features, and I really appreciate what they're doing now with workflow and AI agents, allowing users to build that kind of agentic flow where data analytics and traditional ETL can quickly and easily embed AI capabilities, which is extremely powerful."
"It has the best GUI. And it already has an ETL tool embedded in it..."
"The best thing is that the data storage is pretty much free. I can store as much data as I want, from different sources."
"It's pretty stable, and with the APIs, I haven't encountered major issues with Domo."
 

Cons

"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"It's quite slow. We are using about 2,000,000 rows of data. Creating certain reports takes almost a couple of minutes, which should not be the case."
"Domo as a solution can be improved in various ways."
"You can drag and drop your ETL tool, but it doesn't really work for a large amount of data."
"The ETL way of storing is not up to mark. You have to rely on the naming convention that you're using in Domo because there are no folder systems where you can collate all your workflows and put them into separate folders. A folder system should be there so you can easily identify how you are working. Once you want to make some changes to your ETL, then you can see the whole lineage, identifying what is there and not there."
"All of it. Sometimes it doesn't calculate correctly, it runs slowly, and doesn't offer a solution to things I'm used to doing."
"I'm not in love with Domo. I have some issues with it."
"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."
"There were very few cases on some of the tables, the data tables, where I wish there was an additional feature or two."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"For about 100 users our cost is $95,800."
"The solution is expensive compared to one of its competitors."
"We are making money from Domo, and all our clients are happy with the information that they receive from it."
"The pricing differs from customer to customer, depending on the package."
"It started out at about $600 a seat. However, then as we started to grow, it scaled that down to about $330 or 3$50 a seat, if I'm not mistaken."
"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."
