Overall Satisfaction with Domo
We are using Domo as our complete Business Intelligence Solution to replace our previous Data Warehouse and Reporting tools. The Business Intelligence team is building the back-end data sources, transformations and cards to replace our previous reports. These cards/reports are available across the organization (based on role permissions). Once the initial build-out is completed, we will be rolling out access to business staff to use as a self-service BI tool for their individual departmental needs.
- 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 product does not provide a separate development, test and production environment. Nor does it allow objects to be promoted from one environment to another. This makes development work more tedious than it needs to be.
- It is currently not possible to track the lineage of a specific field from data connector acquisition thru transformation(s) into the visualization (cards). You must manually track it through each object. Changing a fieldname throughout the environment can be time-consuming.
- Does not provide a simple means to generate a data dictionary for the datasets that are constructed for reporting. You can access table/field names and datatypes but it does not include descriptions of the data.
- Provided a quick & easy method to provide data to business users for doing their own analysis and reports
- No on-premise hardware needed
- Can be administered by a small staff or individual
