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
5.8
Domo's impact varies widely; some report negative returns, while others achieve over 300% ROI through improved efficiency and decision-making.
Sentiment score
6.3
Organizations saw varied ROI from SAS Visual Analytics, noting improved efficiency and financial tracking despite initial cost challenges.
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.
The enterprise subscription offers more benefits, ensuring valuable outcomes.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
Domo's customer and technical support is generally responsive but inconsistent, with room for improvement, especially for smaller clients.
Sentiment score
6.8
SAS Visual Analytics customer service is mixed, with praise for technical support but noted gaps in business needs and regional availability.
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.
They provide callbacks to ensure clarity and resolution of any queries.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.3
Domo supports scalable growth and user expansion, despite challenges with large files and some performance issues at high volumes.
Sentiment score
7.8
SAS Visual Analytics effectively scales for large datasets and users, though high resource demands and expenses may concern some.
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.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.9
Domo is reliable with 99% uptime; issues usually arise from external factors, not from Domo itself.
Sentiment score
7.1
SAS Visual Analytics is generally reliable but can face performance issues with large data, often due to user practices.
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.
SAS Visual Analytics is stable and manages data effectively without crashing.
 

Room For Improvement

Domo needs improved usability, integration, and support, along with intuitive interfaces, flexible pricing, and advanced features for better user experience.
SAS Visual Analytics is complex and costly, with challenges in integration, performance, user-friendliness, and external language support.
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.
In terms of configuration, I would like to see AI capabilities since many applications are now integrating AI.
 

Setup Cost

Domo offers costly but comprehensive BI solutions with flexible pricing, valued for integrating multiple functions without extra infrastructure.
SAS Visual Analytics is costly for small enterprises, but offers strong analytics and simplicity, though consulting and scaling add expenses.
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.
 

Valuable Features

Domo offers user-friendly tools for data transformation, visualization, and analytics, supporting scalability and diverse data source integration.
SAS Visual Analytics excels in data visualization, advanced analytics, and user-friendly interface with rapid processing and seamless integration.
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 ability to query information from our Excel data into SAS to view specific data is invaluable.

Featured Reviews

Dave Ramos - PeerSpot reviewer
Has enabled me to integrate AI workflows and drive self-service analytics across organizations
There's room for improvement in their focus on enterprise clients. As a small business owner, there's nothing as powerful as Domo available for smaller organizations. I understand it's a business focus for them as they're looking to expand in that direction, but there's an opportunity to capture the SMB market by creating more capabilities. It's not necessarily about technical capabilities, but rather pricing that's geared towards the small business market. Capability-wise, it's very robust. If I had to stretch, I would suggest more integrations to other common tools, such as Zapier and operational tools like Mailchimp, where you can build and extend ETL in a no-code environment. While there are capabilities you can build from Domo's open APIs, having more native integrations in a no-code, low-code environment would be beneficial. Domo has many native integrations, but better tools for the SMB operational pipeline would be valuable.
Renato Vazamin - PeerSpot reviewer
Single environment for multiple phases saves us time, and has good visualizations
We had that solution installed previously in another solution, Selvaya, but I don't think we used it at the time. We are now using SAS Detect Investigation as a complementary solution, in which we have part of the process, use a gene, SAS collects information and identifies some business situations, and the business guys use Visual Analytics to explore the results of the process. We previously used the FICO platform, but we switched because FICO's pricing was not scalable. Bringing more data or workloads to the platform required a significant investment in order to scale. We needed to change because we have a lot of data to process every day. FICO was also a little more complicated than SAS Visual Analytics.
