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
7.8
Organizations save time and reduce costs with Board's efficiency, enhancing ERP integration and streamlining municipal processes.
Sentiment score
6.8
Domo's effectiveness varies widely, offering cost savings and efficiency for some, while others find it costly and inefficient.
It's hard for me to gauge the monetary benefits, but the time saved in budgeting and forecasting processes indicates a definite bonus.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.4
Board's customer service is praised for responsiveness and reliability, despite occasional communication issues, contributing to positive user experiences.
Sentiment score
6.9
Domo's customer service is responsive but faces communication delays and gaps between support teams, impacting smaller clients.
As long as I go through my account manager, I receive very good support.
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
7.4
Board efficiently manages scaling, offering flexibility and robust data processing, though some face scalability issues with larger Windows client data.
Sentiment score
6.9
Domo efficiently scales with diverse user groups and data, though performance may vary with massive datasets, facing competition.
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
7.1
Users generally find the platform stable, with occasional issues mostly due to user error or integration challenges.
Sentiment score
7.4
Domo is generally stable, handling large data efficiently, with minor data refresh issues and connectivity dependent on internet quality.
Board's stability is excellent, with uptime around ninety-nine point nine percent, and I have not experienced any issues.
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; since it's fully cloud-based, they need to improve the connectivity part.
 

Room For Improvement

Board needs improvements in integration, user experience, data handling, and performance to optimize functionality and accessibility.
Domo users seek improved data integration, visualization, browser compatibility, cost-effectiveness, and support, while desiring enhanced collaboration and customization features.
If the design isn't right, the flexibility of Board can negatively impact performance.
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.
End users require a license to run their own reports and dashboards, which are fairly expensive.
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

Board offers flexible pricing, valued for cost-benefit despite being pricier than competitors; partner support is essential during implementation.
Domo's pricing is higher but justified by robust features, flexible licensing, and included cloud infrastructure reducing IT needs.
Domo's pricing is high compared to other BI tools, and it is costly.
Domo is expensive compared to other solutions.
 

Valuable Features

Board provides a comprehensive platform for customization, reporting, data analysis, security, and diverse functionalities with minimal IT involvement.
Domo excels in ETL, data visualization, governance, and collaboration, offering user-friendly tools for handling complex data tasks.
Our budgeting and forecasting processes support around three hundred twenty users who would otherwise rely on Excel, making Board invaluable for saving time.
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.
The most valuable feature of Domo is the fact that you can connect multiple inputs and you don't have to have a data warehouse.
I have been using it for four years and have been able to extract the information I need from it.

Featured Reviews

Wiboon Thabsuwan - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use and requires less time to learn or understand its features
I think the product is good in terms of ease of use. The interface looks really nice and very easy to use. Every command appears in the icon. It looks like you don't have to understand everything about the command. You do not necessarily have to know more, or I would say that there is less time for our study about the products. Functionality-wise, it is quite easy to use and requires less time to understand or learn about the product. I am a software vendor, so I do not use the tool myself. I use it for my clients. My clients mostly use it for budgeting and timing purposes. I would say that's really less maintenance at all because they can do everything by themselves. It is good in terms of ease of use.
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.
