Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 1, 2025

Domo and Amazon QuickSight compete in the business intelligence and data analytics sector. Domo might have a slight advantage with its comprehensive suite of features aimed at non-tech users, although Amazon QuickSight's AWS integration attracts AWS-centric businesses.

Features: Domo offers comprehensive ETL capabilities, real-time data transformation, and extensive data connectors, appealing to non-tech users. Its "cards" feature enhances data visualization, simplifying insights for diverse organizations. Users appreciate its Magic ETL processes for seamless data manipulation without deep technical knowledge. Amazon QuickSight integrates efficiently with AWS services, supporting fast visualization creation and machine learning insights, serving AWS-centric businesses.

Room for Improvement: Domo users call for better visualization tools, more intuitive interfaces, and improved complex data integration management. They also seek enhanced real-time reporting features and data source flexibility. Amazon QuickSight faces criticism for limited visualization options compared to rivals like Tableau and Power BI. Users want more data governance integration, broader visuals, and diverse data handling capabilities.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Domo is versatile in deployment, suitable for on-premises, private, and hybrid cloud environments. Its technical support has mixed reviews, with noted inconsistencies in communication. Amazon QuickSight focuses on public cloud deployments within AWS ecosystems, ensuring seamless AWS service integration. Its customer service responds quickly, but resolving complex issues can be challenging.

Pricing and ROI: Domo is seen as a premium product with flexible licensing, viewed as high-cost, particularly for smaller businesses. It offers strong ROI through efficient data handling, making it favorable for end-to-end BI solutions. Amazon QuickSight is known for a more cost-effective model, especially beneficial for AWS users, with a pay-as-you-go structure and minimal upfront costs. Its pricing and AWS integration benefits appeal to AWS customers seeking budget-friendly analytics solutions.

Has seamless data filtering and visualization for client satisfaction

One area for improvement is the cost, as it's a bit expensive. The caching mechanism also charges too much if I need to cache any data. Sometimes it takes time to display data, suggesting a need for enhancement in data visualization speed. Additionally, the role-level security is challenging to implement, and it could be improved to allow access control per department more easily.

Robust, powerful, and easy to use

There were very few cases on some of the tables, the data tables, where I wish there was an additional feature or two. However, they were particular. What I wanted to see was the ability to collapse when you group a set of rows, let's say when you group them by status or health, so you have your red projects grouped up top. I wanted to compress or collapse that group of red and then open the yellow projects and then the green projects. There were a bit more features in the tables than I wanted to see. They have a widget that you can use either in Microsoft PowerPoint to pull over data into your PowerPoints and refresh graphs or charts or metrics or tables. I would love to see that available in Google Slides. I used it successfully in PowerPoint; however, at one company, they were only using Google products, and so that widget didn't help with reporting in slides. Therefore, we had to do a bit more manual work for our quarterly business reviews or monthly business reviews to produce our executive presentations. Sometimes the fonts were difficult to read if you're trying to put a lot of data in a table and show a lot of rows. Sometimes the fonts got too light, and you had to really play with it to try and figure out how to make it readable. One thing I had to do, and I don't know if it's necessarily a bad thing, was when I was running a meeting, I would have to go turn off the data jobs. If I was running a meeting and a lot of times people were scrambling in the background to do their updates even as the meeting was occurring, it would cause the page to render very slowly. It would sometimes pause or freeze. I found that if I went and turned off the status, the data update jobs that we're pulling data from Smartsheet, then the meetings would work more smoothly, and there were no interruptions or delays.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."

"It has a lot of valuable features, but the most important aspect is the affordable cost. This solution costs much less in comparison to the competitors like Qlik Sense, Power BI, and Tableau."

"The solution is simple to implement."

"The ease with which it integrates with different data sources is most valuable. Especially when everything is on AWS, it is easy to connect to the data source and organize different dashboards."

"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."

"Amazon QuickSight can provide insights from the available data. It supports various rule types. We get the options of machine learning and insights, which are not available in other intelligence tools. It is easier to use, more stable, and cheaper than other solutions."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."

"It works well with the AWS ecosystem."

More Amazon QuickSight pros

"The user interface is quite good."

"The solution is highly stable."

"Domo has a lot of connections using APIs where you can use data from different databases, such as NoSQLs, SQL databases, and other connections. These connections exist to obtain data and transform whatever that you want."

"The ease of use, overall, is one of the valuable features, as is the ease of setup. Other than making sure IT was aware of, and agreed with our proceeding, we did not need IT for any of the setup. The ease of setup is more valuable than you might think. The ease of configuring the security policies, setting up groups, and setting up personalized data permissions so that only certain people can see certain data — that stuff is amazing... Domo really is extraordinarily full-featured, but it's really easy to use."

"The pipeline features and data ingestions in Domo are quite good."

"It has the best GUI. And it already has an ETL tool embedded in it..."

"The dashboarding itself was pretty easy. So both the front and the back end were positive in this case."

"The data certification feature, where the admin user can put a certified stamp on a data source so that other users can know that that is the correct and accurate data flow or data source to use, is a good feature."

More Domo pros

Cons

"The setup process falls somewhere in the middle. It is not straightforward, nor is it complex, but there is a significant amount of work needed on the back end to make it function."

"I just want a few more features to be added."

"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."

"One area is that integrating data from different sources into QuickSight can be a bit tricky, especially with Amazon Connect. To get data flowing, you need to use two additional services and configure them correctly."

"There should be better connectors for different data sets."

"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."

"An area for improvement in Amazon QuickSight is storage. Data cleanup also needs improvement because I'm experiencing errors when cleaning the data. Amazon QuickSight needs video tutorials showing its different functions and purposes."

"The solution must be more user-friendly."

More Amazon QuickSight cons

"Domo or any other BI tool has room for improvement, in particular, in the calculations. User-guided material isn't available for calculations. The tool, though user-friendly, could also be more customizable, especially when you're building a dashboard. Data integration could also be improved in Domo because even if the tool connects to multiple data sources, some hiccups still arise and need to be addressed."

"They should include service-based reporting features."

"The preconfigured apps need to be more relevant to allow one, out of the box, to load data in order to use pre-set reports/views."

"It is very difficult too, if we do have specific requests or errors that we can't get figure out - especially when it comes to the development platform, developing custom connectors or doing any kind of API work, custom cards - in that there's a lag in the response time."

"One of the improvements that could be made is related to improved storage options."

"I would also like to see improvements to their drag and drop Magic ETL tool. You can drag and drop your ETL tool, but it doesn't really work for a large amount of data. It struggles with that. In a real-world application, where you're working with 30 million rows or 100 million rows, it takes a bit longer to process the data. If you do it in the Redshift ETL tool, using your own code, it's much faster."

"They could use more charts. They have had a very limited number of charts we can use. I believe, now, there are somewhere around 30 of them, but they could definitely use some more options."

"I would like to be able to drill down more when there is a particular area where there is a problem. I don't clearly see that in Domo at the moment."

More Domo cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm using a paid version of Amazon QuickSight, paying about $22 monthly. As I have yet to learn about the pricing for other tools, such as Power BI, I won't be able to compare."

"Amazon QuickSight you subscribe and you use the service."

"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."

"Amazon QuickSight charges $250 per user, which becomes expensive when managing multiple departments."

"I rate the price of Amazon QuickSight a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."

"The Amazon QuickSight licensing model my company's on is pay-as-you-go, but I wouldn't be able to give the figures because that's handled by the finance department."

"The solution's pricing is cheaper than the other products in the market."

"It's affordable compared to other long-term contractor business tools available in the market."

More Amazon QuickSight pricing and cost advice

"I'm not sure about pricing, but I believe Domo is quite costly. Prior to joining this organization, I had a Domo license with my former employer and I think that license was around $500 to $600 annually. That was for a single license. I think it varies, depending on the organization that is acquiring Domo."

"Domo is slightly costly but it's much cheaper than some."

"The price that they offered was around $200 per user license. It was pretty cheap at that time compared to other companies. I think they have revamped their pricing structure since then."

"Because it's software as a service, it's more expensive on the face of it. But there are a lot of variables. I don't have to pay for servers or for infrastructure. I don't have to pay labor for my IT organization to set up or maintain the environment. I don't have to pay for them to upgrade the software, and test it, etc., because when it rolls out, it is transparent and seamless for us. But, because of that, it costs more, I imagine, than Sisense, or Yellowfin, or Power BI. A lot of those make it sound like they're inexpensive, but when you add in all the hidden costs and all of the overhead, it's probably comparable."

"For about 100 users our cost is $95,800."

"I believe that the investment in Domo was worthwhile because it allowed for the organization to jump in quickly, with little training. There are different plans available based on the requirements."

"We are making money from Domo, and all our clients are happy with the information that they receive from it."

"No matter if you're a developer or an end-user, the licensing cost is around $12 per user per month."
