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
5.7
Domo enhances efficiency, decision-making, and revenue growth, though some face limited returns due to high costs or underutilization.
Sentiment score
7.0
Windward Core enhances template design efficiencies, reduces costs, and increases productivity up to 70%, freeing IT resources.
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.

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
Domo's customer and technical support is generally praised but needs improvement in responsiveness, especially for complex issues.
Sentiment score
8.4
Windward Core's service is praised for promptness, professionalism, effective communication, and proactive support, despite some troubleshooting concerns.
No matter how complex the problem is, it can be taken care of by the support team.
Data Analyst at Anonymous
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.
Analytics Manager at KOKO Networks
It's very easy to get technical support from Domo.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.2
Domo supports large-scale data and user roles, but some users experience technical challenges with ETL processes and storage limits.
Sentiment score
7.4
Windward Core is generally scalable, effectively handling demand, though some infrastructure and cost limitations affect performance.
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.
Analytics Manager at KOKO Networks
When fetching files larger than 100 MB from SFTP or any other portal, Domo becomes slow due to the heavy file size.
Assistant Manager at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Everything comes under the same umbrella and it's pretty user-friendly.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.6
Domo is praised for reliable data handling, minimal downtime, and efficiency, though some encounter occasional server connectivity issues.
Sentiment score
7.6
Windward Core is praised for stability, reliable performance, and strong support, despite occasional random errors and upgrade issues.
In recent years, I haven't had such cases. It's quite stable and I don't have any reservations on its stability.
Analytics Manager at KOKO Networks
In terms of overall stability of the platform, it's very stable.
Chief Technology Officer ☆ Chief Product Officer ☆ Fractional CTO ☆ Board Advisor at a manufacturing company with 1-10 employees
During that time, we faced issues from the project side as Domo was not visible in our portal.

Room For Improvement

Domo users face data management and integration challenges, need better visualization, real-time processing, and improved UI and collaboration features.
Windward Core needs improvements in compatibility, user interface, documentation, error handling, and feature enhancements like charts and interactivity.
End users require a license to run their own reports and dashboards, which are fairly expensive.
Technical Project Manager at a educational organization with 201-500 employees
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.
Senior Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Setup Cost

Domo's pricing is higher but seen as valuable for its features, with flexible models and negotiable terms encouraged.
Windward Core offers flexible and competitive pricing, ideal for enterprises with varied needs, supporting multiple deployment models.
Domo's pricing is high compared to other BI tools, and it is costly.
Senior Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
For long-time users, it can become expensive, but the trade-off is access to the entire platform instead of licensing different components separately.
Chief Technology Officer ☆ Chief Product Officer ☆ Fractional CTO ☆ Board Advisor at a manufacturing company with 1-10 employees
They quoted approximately one dollar per KB.

Valuable Features

Domo is praised for ease of use, data integration, real-time insights, and collaboration, enhancing data accessibility for non-technical users.
Windward Core integrates with Office tools, enabling non-technical users to generate complex reports with customizable templates effortlessly.
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.
Senior Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
None of the other tools provide the kind of support that enables chatting and working on the same item simultaneously.
Senior Analyst at Blend360
I have been using it for four years and have been able to extract the information I need from it.

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.

Strong layout and design capabilities; leverages every aspect available in Word-native formatting
The licensing key is a little bit twitchy. I'd like to see more HTML formatting support in templates. It has a basic stock of HTML formatting capability, but it doesn't have a rich vocabulary. I have to work around that sometimes. The help documentation and blog posts are extensive, but not always up to date. The error reports also need improvement. If you don't key it in right, it's a little hard to find the root cause. It gives you information as much as it can, but it doesn't really hone in and tell you explicitly what you should do to correct the problem.
