ROI

Sentiment score

Anaplan delivers varied ROI, enhancing accuracy and efficiency, with results dependent on successful implementation within six months.
Sentiment score
6.8
Domo's effectiveness varies widely, offering cost savings and efficiency for some, while others find it costly and inefficient.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
5.5
Anaplan's customer support is praised for quick, effective issue resolution, reliable service, and valued resources despite occasional delays.
Sentiment score
6.9
Domo's customer service is responsive but faces communication delays and gaps between support teams, impacting smaller clients.
The technical support from Anaplan is amazing, with a dedicated team to assist in case of any issues.
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.
The main benefits of using Domo are that the support is good, and comparing it with other BI tools, it has specific specialties.
While they eventually provide the correct answers, their support for smaller customers could be improved.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Anaplan offers scalable solutions for large projects, integrating various systems, but costs can rise with increased usage.
Sentiment score
6.9
Domo efficiently scales with diverse user groups and data, though performance may vary with massive datasets, facing competition.
Anaplan had issues before, but the new Polaris engine solves them.
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.
We have escalated questions to Domo's technical support as we find some bugs in our daily routines.
Sigma, which is written for Snowflake, scales more easily than Domo.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
Anaplan offers high stability and reliability with in-memory computing, despite minor downtimes and performance issues from model design.
Sentiment score
7.4
Domo is generally stable, handling large data efficiently, with minor data refresh issues and connectivity dependent on internet quality.
In recent years, I haven't had such cases. It's quite stable and I don't have any reservations on its stability.
The setup of Domo is challenging as the cache and serialization part still causes errors.
 

Room For Improvement

Anaplan faces challenges in model efficiency, integration, pricing, and user support while needing AI enhancements and improved usability.
Domo users seek improved data integration, visualization, browser compatibility, cost-effectiveness, and support, while desiring enhanced collaboration and customization features.
Advanced planning with AI, machine learning, and related plugins would be great to see in the future.
End users require a license to run their own reports and dashboards, which are fairly expensive.
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.
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.
 

Setup Cost

Anaplan's pricing is premium yet justified, with costs escalating by features and complexity, transparency in pricing is needed.
Domo's pricing is higher but justified by robust features, flexible licensing, and included cloud infrastructure reducing IT needs.
Currently, Anaplan is more expensive compared to other tools.
The pricing is slightly on the premium side, but I do not have detailed knowledge about the exact licensing structure.
Domo's pricing is high compared to other BI tools, and it is costly.
Domo is expensive compared to other solutions.
 

Valuable Features

Anaplan offers user-friendly, real-time planning with dashboards, flexibility, and integration, enhancing collaboration and reducing manual data tasks.
Domo excels in ETL, data visualization, governance, and collaboration, offering user-friendly tools for handling complex data tasks.
Anaplan's connected planning feature is its most valuable aspect, allowing for seamless financial planning, HR planning, and updates.
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.
Domo's self-service analytics tools have helped non-technical users in my organization greatly.
I have been using it for four years and have been able to extract the information I need from it.

Real-time data integration enhances operational efficiency and flexibility

Denis Mwaniki - PeerSpot reviewer
Have built flexible data pipelines and shared actionable insights across departments
I have not used Domo's collaborative features extensively. Regarding Domo's AI-driven insights in uncovering trends and forecasting outcomes, the limiting factor is that you need to define all of your columns before you're able to do any AI or feature engineering. That's quite a lot of work, especially on our end, given that we have huge datasets and sometimes we don't have updated data dictionaries. My wish would be for Domo to learn on its own and figure out column types without necessarily having to build that data dictionary. 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. The aesthetic feel, especially when building dashboards or apps, needs improvement. While Domo Apps is almost a Domo dashboard with more features and a better feel, I would hope for an investment in the aesthetics area. Being able to swipe right or left, instead of just scrolling down would be beneficial, as most Domo dashboards only allow downward scrolling. Some of our stakeholders find the dashboards very long and wish they could scan through them more efficiently.
