Ruban Prasanna Dass SP

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.

Financial Planning & Analysis - Finance Manager at a engineering company with 501-1,000 employees

It has helped us speed up the turnaround time on our consolidation, and we haven't had anything come up that the program has not been able to solve

The part that we liked about Excel is that it had a better interface in terms of just graphical illustration of our results. So, if we wanted to look at our financial trends and put it into some type of graphical interface for people to look at, we still have to leverage Excel for that. The dashboards aren't as usable as maybe some of the other solutions, such as Tableau or other BI tools. The application that we use today for our BI tools is Tableau. That's how people absorb information. We don't really use the functionality or dashboards within Planful because of the robustness of Tableau. That's our single source of data. If Planful was better or more comparable in terms of features and functionality, we could probably leverage that in Planful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pipeline features and data ingestions in Domo are quite good."

"It has the best GUI. And it already has an ETL tool embedded in it..."

"Domo has a complete, integrated ETL solution built-in, so it is quite powerful."

"We are making money from Domo, and all our clients are happy with the information that they receive from it."

"The most ideal aspect about using Domo is it can accommodate a huge amount of data, and we loved the number of sources it provides in a single platform, such as the capability to connect it."

"The main reason my company decided to use Domo is that it's a one-stop shop BI tool, so it solves requirements for all customers."

"It produces the best output."

"Domo is a local company, and I have found it to be rock solid."

More Domo pros

"I believe the ROI is very high."

"Planful has probably cut our time in half, given that we can now leverage the cloud-based services to interact with our subs for getting their forecast inputs."

"It has helped us speed up the turnaround time on our consolidation. We don't have to do reporting in Excel anymore, which has cut down on the errors and the efficiency of our close time."

Cons

"There were very few cases on some of the tables, the data tables, where I wish there was an additional feature or two."

"Their organization or client service didn't always keep up."

"Domo is losing out in the pricing area. We tried pitching Domo to many of our clients, and they liked it initially, but the pricing point was something they were not comfortable with."

"Domo or any other BI tool has room for improvement, in particular, in the calculations."

"If we have unwanted data in our data set as raw data, we need to cleanse and structure it first because having excessive data in Domo will increase loading time and occupy large amounts of space."

"Data integration is okay, but not the best."

"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."

"I would also like to see improvements to their drag and drop Magic ETL tool. You can drag and drop your ETL tool, but it doesn't really work for a large amount of data. It struggles with that. In a real-world application, where you're working with 30 million rows or 100 million rows, it takes a bit longer to process the data. If you do it in the Redshift ETL tool, using your own code, it's much faster."

More Domo cons

"Some of the behind the scenes processing for the simulation engines has a learning curve to use in that there are certain changes that need to happen for the reporting to be "Live"."

"The part that we liked about Excel is that it had a better interface in terms of just graphical illustration of our results. So, if we wanted to look at our financial trends and put it into some type of graphical interface for people to look at, we still have to leverage Excel for that. The dashboards aren't as usable as maybe some of the other solutions, such as Tableau or other BI tools."

"The part that we liked about Excel is that it had a better interface in terms of just graphical illustration of our results."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are making money from Domo, and all our clients are happy with the information that they receive from it."

"I think it is reasonable."

"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."

"Domo has more than one licensing model. You can choose between the yearly subscription and the per-user licensing model. The tool is flexible in terms of licensing. As for the cost, Domo is an end-to-end BI tool so its pricing is a little higher than other players in the market, for example, non end-to-end BI tools such as OBIEE and Tableau specific only for business intelligence and presenting data to the end users, unlike Domo which handles everything. You want to get Domo as an integration tool, an ETL tool, etc. As the tool is end-to-end, its cost is always going to be a little higher than other BI tools, but it's worth paying because you won't have to spend extra for other activities. After all, Domo can do those activities."

"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 believe that the investment in Domo was worthwhile because it allowed for the organization to jump in quickly, with little training. There are different plans available based on the requirements."

"Domo is slightly costly but it's much cheaper than some."

"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."

"Right now, everything is on a three-year term contract, and that is our main cost."
