Domo and SSRS compete in the business intelligence and reporting solutions category. Domo holds a slight advantage due to its strong accessibility for end-users and cloud flexibility.
Features: Domo offers robust connectivity and ETL capabilities, allowing users to manage large datasets effortlessly. Its cards system facilitates seamless data visualization and is ideal for non-technical users. SQL Server Reporting Services provides reliable integration with SQL Server, automated reporting features, and supports detailed, paginated reports.
Room for Improvement: Domo users desire enhanced data management, more visualization options, and better collaboration features. Optimization during data processing is a need. SSRS could benefit from a more user-friendly GUI, improved third-party database integration, and streamlined drag-and-drop functionality.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Domo offers cloud and hybrid deployment options, with its customer service noted as responsive but sometimes inconsistent. SSRS is focused on-premises, integrating tightly with MS products, but this sometimes complicates deployment. SSRS support can be slow to resolve issues.
Pricing and ROI: Domo is perceived as expensive but valuable for its comprehensive features and cloud convenience, eliminating hardware costs. SSRS has lower initial costs but potential hidden expenses in infrastructure and maintenance. Both solutions provide significant value depending on organizational needs.
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.
Any tool which obviates the need for a lot of coding will definitely save at least 60-70% of effort.
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.
It's very easy to get technical support from Domo.
Support-wise, they are good.
Reaching out to Microsoft took a prolonged time to the extent that we were wondering why Microsoft was unable to get its own logs to us.
I have not reached out to tech support at Microsoft for Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services because it is my job to know how to get this tool to work.
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.
When fetching files larger than 100 MB from SFTP or any other portal, Domo becomes slow due to the heavy file size.
Sigma, which is written for Snowflake, scales more easily than Domo.
In recent years, I haven't had such cases. It's quite stable and I don't have any reservations on its stability.
In terms of overall stability of the platform, it's very stable.
During that time, we faced issues from the project side as Domo was not visible in our portal.
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.
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.
I am thinking that with all the Copilot integration within the Microsoft environment, that could be integrated as well, so that you could issue a prompt and it generates designs.
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services is not difficult to use, but my main issue is troubleshooting whenever there is any problem, as the logs can be unclear.
Domo's pricing is high compared to other BI tools, and it is costly.
For long-time users, it can become expensive, but the trade-off is access to the entire platform instead of licensing different components separately.
They quoted approximately one dollar per KB.
Otherwise, you need to write a lot of code or API calls to generate reports if using some other tool outside of the ecosystem, which definitely requires additional effort and therefore additional cost and 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.
I have been using it for four years and have been able to extract the information I need from 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.
The best features of Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services are that it is easy to get the reports out because it is integrated with SQL and we have many of these tables.
I had been trying to develop a solution using SSRS to view some data while allowing me to modify data and update the table in the back end, but it seems SSRS isn't the tool for that.
