Considered Both Products
Domo
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 …
Chose Domo
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 …
Chose Domo
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.
Yellowfin
Chose Yellowfin
Alteryx Platform, Microsoft BI (MSBI) and Tableau Desktop
Chose Yellowfin
Tableau Online, Google Analytics and Amazon QuickSight
Chose Yellowfin
Yellow Fin platform is browser agnostic and is accessible from desktops as well as mobile devices. It is very simple and fast, it is integrated with Big Data, clients do not require a great training. It just works. But it’s easier to have things on the cloud, especially if you …
Chose Yellowfin
Yellowfin is much improved over this product, making the process much more simple and faster.
Chose Yellowfin
Yellowfin is no doubt, a stronger, more eloquent and polished tool compared to Microsoft's Power BI. The issue with our company specifically is that we are a big Microsoft shop, and pay for Power BI more or less in our bundle esp w/ O365. While the Yellowfin tool is a more …
Chose Yellowfin
I feel like it is not as good as powerslides, basically does the same thing but not as well. The team basically found that it was using up more time and wasn't as easy to figure out as powerslide. We ended up switching programs after a while and still looking for a much better …
Chose Yellowfin
The Yellowfin product technologies are superior and offers more flexibility in application. The Yellowfin product can be used in several different areas such a report engine over and above being a solid business intelligence tool. It further needs significant IT overhead to be …
Chose Yellowfin
We ran a full procurement project to select Yellowfin and started with a long list of over 20 BI products. Key reasons for choice were ease of use, visual looks, product integrations and cost (both licence purchase and development of content).
Chose Yellowfin
Yellowfin BI has a strong focus on a clear structured and easy to use user interface. Furthermore, the licence model was adequate for a BI system with a lot of end users.
Chose Yellowfin
Our reporting group uses Tableau extensively and compared to Yellowfin, Tableau is much easier to use (partially because more time was invested in setting it up properly, but also the design and features).
Chose Yellowfin
My selection of Yellowfin based on following criteria for the Indian market:

  • Availability in Linux platform to process high volume of transaction with CAL (concurrent user access license) model to use multiple server with high concurrent users

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.

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.

  • The Yellowfin user interface fits seamlessly into our own web software as it too is designed in the latest web technologies making it easy to use and easily accessible to our client base.
  • The Yellowfin user interface is intuitive and easy to use, elevating VSV clients from needing in-depth training on the product before true value can be realised.
  • The Yellowfin architecture supports the Pintl architecture 100% due to a similar design strategy and as such no real overhead is added to the Pintl system for the addition of the Yellowfin product nor does it add any additional IT overhead to be used.
  • The Yellowfin product is quick and simple to develop reports and dashboards in cutting turn-around-time at the VSV development team and when new/custom reports are required by VSV clients.

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.

  • The ability to predefine a colour for a specific graph as a selection option dynamically.
  • The ability to customise the label of a chart, especially with respect to performance related reporting graphs we need an increase in dynamic charting options to meet our more specialised requirements.

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.

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

Yellowfin has large promises that did not meet our expectations after we got it installed. We tried to configure it but things did not go as planned. After 1 year of trying - we still cannot get it working. Be very careful when signing up with them - everything is not what it seems.

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.

Anytime I needed a report, I ran into issues with this software. We used Yellowfin for a period of months, having switched from Salesforce. I found the reports were difficult to produce, and the data management was okay at best.

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

Yellowfin is no doubt, a stronger, more eloquent and polished tool compared to Microsoft's Power BI. The issue with our company specifically is that we are a big Microsoft shop, and pay for Power BI more or less in our bundle esp w/ O365. While the Yellowfin tool is a more sleek tool, the cost to our company is something that we have to weight against a negligible cost with Power BI.

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.
