Robust BI Platform for Technical Users What do you like best about Domo? 1. Domo allows for the creation of tailored data experiences. As a Domo creator, you have great flexibility and control over what the user sees, and how the user can interact with the data. 2. It is easy to automate user managment on Domo, even at large scales. 3. It is easy to create new content on Domo. New creators can be trained with little effort. 4. Domo has an abundance of visualization types to answer the vast majority of business questions. There is also the option to create custom visuals with D3 Bricks. 5. Domo has excellent customer support, with teams available at all times to help with technical and nontechnical issues. 6. Domo has extreme flexibility with regard to ingesting and writeback of data. Tools like workbench, webforms, and file uploads make it easy to get data into the system. Email reporting is reliable and helpful. 7. Data lineage tools make it easy to maintain complex dataflows. 8. Magic ETL is straightforward to use and easy to maintain. Notes and comments can be left at each step allowing for documentation of rationale behind business calculations. 9. Smart text is very helpful for displaying the latest time of dataset updates, informing the end user of recency of the data. 10. Jupyter integration allows for sophisticated manipulation and visualization techniques. 11. Doc cards allow for the embedding of business procedures into Domo. Version history is included with this feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Domo? 1. There is a high start-up cost (capital and time) to establish a useful data warehouse. 2. Internal proccesses and procedures must be created and maintained to ensure that all Domo creators on the instance are creating cohesive content. 3. Once the schema for a dataset is created, it is hard to alter. Changing column names has a ripple-down effect though downstream content including datasets and cards, breaking content. 4. The alerts are relatively simple, preventing the user from creating alters / triggers on detailed data events. 5. Domo requires the use of a mouse, which slows down development times. 6. Domo lacks the ability to mass-edit content, applying similar changes to multiple cards or dashboards at once. 7. Dashboard management is clunky. The order in which dashbaords appear on the left ribbon must be determined manually. There is no option to rank dashboards alphabetically, etc... This is only a problem if the instance has many dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Domo solving and how is that benefiting you? 1. Business facts: Sales, inventory, headcount, etc... Helps maintain and enforce a single source of truth. 2. Report automation 3. Analysis: Efficient Staffing, YOY performance, geographic location of customer base, etc...
