Chose Domo
Because Domo has high mobile and responsive features, we prefer Domo over the others. Because other products still lack features in terms of features, it slows us down. We hope that Domo continues to innovate continuously to become even better. Thank you Domo for providing many …

Much better than the previous system Tag which was Corvu which ended up being just a shell for Rocket Software. It also brings modern capabilities such as roles and security to the systems that we have, It is also a lot easier than the old one in which we needed to hire a …

Microsoft Excel has the ability to create spreadsheets and charts however it requires very complicated formulas and macros.
Domo is a little more user friendly as far learning how to use the program without needing to understand complex formulations. Excel is also very touchy, …
Chose Domo
Domo is on the higher side when it comes to price against the competition but it warrants it. It has all the features and capabilities you will need to execute an exceptional BI program across your organization. I'm not sure I'd recommend this if this is your first BI tool just …
Chose Domo
Domo customer service is what sets it apart. This is something that we focus on because setup time for tools and downtime often causes issues. Having the support team being so responsive and able to help is a huge bonus.
Chose Domo
We have used grow.com and zoho analytics but Domo is one of the best softwares overall for these purposes.
Chose Domo
Domo is a complete end-to-end platform that provides warehouse, ETL, and visualization features as against these other platforms which are mostly visualization platforms. Though other platforms have started providing data cleaning features, they do not provide connectivity to …
Chose Domo
Domo is one of the best software out there simply because of the functionality and capability that it has over other software. The only downside with this is that it is a bit more expensive compared to other solutions out there, but this is because of the added functionality.
Chose Domo
Domo has a slightly steeper learning curve than tableau, but once you learn it, it is MUCH better than tableau.

You will need someone on the team dedicated to running the platform
Chose Domo
I wasn't personally involved with the selection of Domo as compared to other solutions. I am aware that the close proximity of the company to us gave them opportunities to be more personal in their presentation. Tableau was probably our second choice. But the customer service …
Chose Domo
I have used Tableau, Hyperion, Micro-strategy, Crystal, and SSRS, nothing was as easy to use as Domo. It is also not one-off. I can create a new report based off of an existing dataset in a few minutes, and so can anyone else.
Chose Domo
Domo is by far the industry leader. Other tools/platforms have unique strengths, but from an overall perspective, Domo is the most versatile and does an exceptional job in all areas. This is critical when it comes to "scale". A BI project may start with a siloed scope, but as …
Chose Domo
Used PowerBI, and have seen Tableau, Sisense, and Qlik used.
Chose Domo
I have never used Tableau, but I've spoken with colleagues who have used it. Tableau is good and probably a better experience for the report builder, but I know my executive team is satisfied with it and it does make it easy for them see how the company is performing as a whole.
Chose Domo
We switched from Tableau to Domo because we believe Domo is a better tool for self-service business intelligence. After switching to Domo, we saw much stronger adoption from business users compared to Tableau.
Chose Domo
We looked into Tableau before Domo but decided Domo was more suitable for our business.
Chose Domo
Domo blows Foresee out of the water. In the future, I would like to see the two integrated further so I do not need to skip between apps.
Chose Domo
It's been a few years since we evaluated BI options - Domo was the winner in perceived ease of use and cost, it's held true to that.

I have heard that the one that comes close is a tool called Apex. Some of the leading companies are using it instead of SQL.

If you are looking for a document management and collaboration tool to use as a web portal that comes with SQL data base and easy to manage and something you can learn very quick, look no further than SharePoint but if you need a pure database then this is not for you.
Chose MS SharePoint / SQL
We use MS SQL more just because of how widely it's used and how popular it is. It's easier to install, maintain, and support compared to the other ones we've tried.
Chose MS SharePoint / SQL
At the time of the two large projects, SharePoint was the enterprise solution so we were required to use that. We have since lobbied the enterprise teams to review and consider Atlassian confluence and were successful. Confluence is cheaper than Sharepoint which is why we …
Chose MS SharePoint / SQL
At its core, MS SharePoint (with SQL) is for managing document-based content. It falls just short of being a best in class records manager (it does offer some features for this though), and it isn't the easiest to solution to make great looking modern and engaging web sites. …

We looked at Google Drive but it didn't have the API and integration that SharePoint has with 3rd party software providers. Also, Google Drive has basic functionality compared to MS SharePoint and how you can customize and build-out.

I haven't used any other products that compete with it. I started my career at Microsoft and the two subsequent locations have also been Microsoft shops.

Dropbox is a user-friendly product, but Sharepoint is a native Microsoft product that can be implemented into any Microsoft products, which are used mostly in our environment. Finding solutions on the internet is much easier, as it is used commonly by other organizations as …

I am not familiar with any other products similar to SharePoint, so I am unable to compare.

Domo is great when you want to see lots of values historically or see data you can see natively in a platform. As I mentioned earlier, Domo is the only way our Marketing and Sales teams can see when their emails were opened and compare the send time - this is an example of data I can't see natively.

As I mentioned in my previous answers, MS SharePoint is very useful as a shared drive for the organization and is very easy to manage. It also helps us import data from SharePoint directly into PowerBI for creating reports. According to my understanding, only share link features should be improved.

Pros
  • Provides data acquisition, transformation and visualization all administered from one cloud-based tool. No switching between tools or cobbling different products together.
  • Provides GUI and MySQL interfaces for data manipulation for both entry-level and advanced users.
  • Huge amount of data connectors out of the box, plus you can easily create your own custom connectors.

  • Flexible - able to make any changes we would like vs traditional service desk system.
  • ROI - We were already using SharePoint for internal intranet, so we are simply getting more use out of licensing we had already committed to.
  • Easy to use for end users.

Cons
  • When changing cards from one dataset to another any beast modes are not carried over, it would often make life easier if there was an easier way to copy beast mode calculations from one dataset to another.
  • Domo documentation, university and Dojo are extremely helpful when we run into problems. However, when support beyond that is needed their help desk seems to have a hefty backlog - the amount of time to resolve tickets is frustrating sometimes.

  • It is hard to setup and nightmare
  • It requires a of infrastructure, thus it could be costly because of requirement and licensing required for everything to run smoothly
  • If it is not setup and organized properly from the beginning it could be maintenance nightmare
  • It is hard to have "test" environment to do patches or similar

Domo is a great up-and-coming product. There are many fantastic features that are extremely compelling to our end users, which makes Domo a great fit for our organization. As with many BI tools, there are items on the wish list that could make implementation, administration and usage easier, but I believe these will be addressed over time as the product matures and evolves. The overall concept and approach of this solution has definitely raised the bar in this area of expertise and I would like to see things advance in giving the enterprise tools that will make decision making easier and more robust in the future.

This was a long-term buy-in from a corporate perspective, to remain in the SharePoint space. Migration is certainly possible, which is good for planning and having options further out. At this point, the only planned migration is to eventually move the architecture up to SharePoint/SQL 2013. At that point, we will be able to leverage some greater efficiencies, some enhanced content design and management features, and some more current social features. It is well worth a full consideration in any shop looking at a new implementation of or migration to SharePoint (although you will probably be considering 2013 versions or beyond in those discussions), but the platform should be a strong competitor to any alternatives. Realizing the capability of a fully-branded and customized website was not part of the original choice for the architecture at Lincoln, but seeing it implemented and functioning now with this capacity far beyond original expectations has certainly cemented plans to continue using it.

Usability
A business management platform has to be flexible to provide solutions for customers from any business environment, but that flexibility has to be delivered without requiring complex business process re-engineering and massive data conversion efforts. Domo’s web-based architecture and wealth of connectivity options allow rapid setup for any business. If your marketing company is wrestling with channel return on investment or your educational organization is drowning in data, Domo has the tools and capability to use your data and turn it into something useful for you

I gave this rating due to MS SharePoint being a big help with our userbase. We have a lot of users that are just old enough to not have much technical skills or they have been in this industry long enough to where they haven't really needed to utilize much technology. MS SharePoint helped us move beyond that barrier without too many bumps and bruises.

Support Rating
Pretty responsive. It took a while to get a response in selecting data points for our particular cards. Might have taken about a month? I am not sure if this was something on our end or Domo's end. But haven't had any other issues yet that required additional support from Domo.

I've only had to call in to support on one occasion but they were able to work though our issue and find a solution that did fully resolve the issue in a timely manner. I can't always say the same about support from other companies so it was a refreshing change to have support that did help.

Implementation Rating
It is a true web-based application so implementation is much easier and smoother compared to other non-web based BI solutions. Also, they offered consulting services during the implementation process, which was helpful. Also, they provided lots of on-demand training courses and videos, which I liked.

Domo is by far the industry leader. Other tools/platforms have unique strengths, but from an overall perspective, Domo is the most versatile and does an exceptional job in all areas. This is critical when it comes to "scale". A BI project may start with a siloed scope, but as the project bares fruit, others begin to ask how they can participate/leverage the tool/platform for their own projects - because of this, Domo's versatility is incredibly important

At the time of the two large projects, SharePoint was the enterprise solution so we were required to use that. We have since lobbied the enterprise teams to review and consider Atlassian Confluence and were successful. Confluence is cheaper than Sharepoint which is why we wanted to bring that in. The enterprise has now made Confluence an enterprise solution as an alternative to SharePoint. After using both I think SharePoint has many more add-ins than Confluence. It has much more customization ability than Confluence. SharePoint is not good for mobile readiness. Confluence is so there is a difference that might lead you to Confluence over SharePoint. I would also say that SharePoint is very document-centric and that Confluence has better KM than SharePoint does. even with the use of SQL Server. We were told that we could not use Google Drive even though it had features we liked.

Return on Investment
  • Domo has allowed us to see much more clearly what is working for students on our programs, and what is not. This enables us to consolidate success and further develop where there are areas of concern.
  • The verbatim comments in Domo makes the reports especially attractive to staff, since they are able to engage directly with students' personal opinions and not just with rating scales.

  • ROI for ms SharePoint/SQL considering that is the best database engine with excellent features that help you to have all information in your hand.

  • These are the best relational databases in the market with powerful features that complement your system.
