Domo vs TetraScience comparison

"I mostly see it as an ETL which has many system connectors. It does a good job of ETL."

"The solution is highly stable."

"We find the ease of using the solution valuable."

"The best thing is that the data storage is pretty much free. I can store as much data as I want, from different sources."

"The ETL tools they have in Redshift are pretty awesome... I can work in Redshift to get the data from AWS and work in Redshift, in Domo, to create Transforms and the data structure we need..."

"Domo's real-time insights and customizable alerts are one of their better features."

"We have found securing data valuable because it allows us to provide information without identifying individuals."

"When it comes to Domo, we have one platform for data integration as well as for data modeling, transformations, and creating visualizations such as charts, graphs, and cards, which is beneficial because in Power BI we have multiple modules for these functions."

"The ingestion engines were pretty good."

"The crawler agents they provide, as well as TetraScience exclusive parsers, allow for specific instruments that we use in our labs with proprietary formats to extract data and put it into more standard formats for various purposes."

"They should include service-based reporting features."

"Their STK is not up to date and you can't access it on their website. They have a private STK to access resources in Domo."

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

"There's a learning curve before you can get used to the solution."

"The ETL way of storing is not up to mark. You have to rely on the naming convention that you're using in Domo because there are no folder systems where you can collate all your workflows and put them into separate folders. A folder system should be there so you can easily identify how you are working. Once you want to make some changes to your ETL, then you can see the whole lineage, identifying what is there and not there."

"It is very difficult too, if we do have specific requests or errors that we can't get figure out - especially when it comes to the development platform, developing custom connectors or doing any kind of API work, custom cards - in that there's a lag in the response time."

"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."

"One of the improvements that could be made is related to improved storage options."

"While functional during ingestion workflows, the automation toolkit required manual processes."

"The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met."

"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."

"No matter if you're a developer or an end-user, the licensing cost is around $12 per user per month."

"Because it's software as a service, it's more expensive on the face of it. But there are a lot of variables. I don't have to pay for servers or for infrastructure. I don't have to pay labor for my IT organization to set up or maintain the environment. I don't have to pay for them to upgrade the software, and test it, etc., because when it rolls out, it is transparent and seamless for us. But, because of that, it costs more, I imagine, than Sisense, or Yellowfin, or Power BI. A lot of those make it sound like they're inexpensive, but when you add in all the hidden costs and all of the overhead, it's probably comparable."

"They've built an "app economy." Some of them are really expensive, so they're not for startups and smaller companies. They're more like enterprise tools. We couldn't afford some of them, because they were so crazy expensive. But if I was working for a bank, insurance company, or some bigger corporation then, for sure, you could justify those prices... It was silly expensive back then and it probably still is, or even more expensive."

"The solution is expensive compared to one of its competitors."

"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."

"I think it is reasonable."
