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

"Compared to other reporting tools, it is very effective but does require an understanding of certain concepts in QuickSight. This understanding is crucial for creating dimensions, changing metrics, and visualizing reports."

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

"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."

"The best part about Amazon QuickSight is the filtration capability."

"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."

"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."

"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."

More Amazon QuickSight pros

"The dashboard is the most valuable feature and allows for customization to create and share reports."

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

"The fact that you can add any data source is valuable. The entire data handling suite they have, all the apps, etc., is pretty amazing. One of the key things, not being a techie or a data-warehouse guy, is that you can connect data sources, and do all kinds of pretty amazing things."

"The ETL tools they have in Redshift are pretty awesome... I can work in Redshift to get the data from AWS and work in Redshift, in Domo, to create Transforms and the data structure we need..."

"We've worked with all the features of Domo. Among the most important are Pivot and Sumo Cards. We can use drill-down from the top-most level with a click, generating charts."

"This solution allows us to change our performance metrics and tracks our goals in real-time."

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

"Using the "cards" which function as preconfigured reports or views. I use many of them simultaneously on an organized page, with filters that allow me to see high-level information as well as subsets across the dataset, in a few clicks. Many Excel-challenged users love to use this product for its simplicity."

More Domo pros

Cons

"QuickSight needs to add more visuals similar to what Power BI offers."

"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."

"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 where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."

"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."

"It can be made more user-friendly as some users might find this solution hard to implement. Qlik Sense, for example, is very user-friendly."

"Compared to Power BI, I felt QuickSight lacks some features, like delayed drill-downs. Drill-downs were the main area where we found QuickSight lacking."

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

More Amazon QuickSight cons

"If your ETL runs more than 24 hours, it always fails because we are logging a lot of historical data, and there is a restriction on the amount of data (in rows) that you can run. The technical support has not found a solution for this yet."

"There's a learning curve before you can get used to the solution."

"I would like to see more dashboard creation options."

"I would like to publish a dashboard for the employees so that they can also see the performance of our organization. But that is not a feature in Domo, although it's something that Zoho provided."

"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."

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

"When you're exporting a graph out of Domo — suppose it is in the form of a donut chart or it is in form of a stack — the data comes out in tabular format, not as a graph. When exporting the data, I would like them to create a tab for graphs and another tab with the data in tabular format."

"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."

More Domo cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The standard edition is free to use for exploration purposes while the enterprise edition needs to be paid for. The pricing for this solution is very reasonable."

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

"The product pricing is better than other vendors."

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

"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."

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

"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."

More Amazon QuickSight pricing and cost advice

"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."

"They've built an "app economy." Some of them are really expensive, so they're not for startups and smaller companies. They're more like enterprise tools. We couldn't afford some of them, because they were so crazy expensive. But if I was working for a bank, insurance company, or some bigger corporation then, for sure, you could justify those prices... It was silly expensive back then and it probably still is, or even more expensive."

"It started out at about $600 a seat. However, then as we started to grow, it scaled that down to about $330 or 3$50 a seat, if I'm not mistaken."

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

"The pricing differs from customer to customer, depending on the package."

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

"Domo has more than one licensing model. You can choose between the yearly subscription and the per-user licensing model. The tool is flexible in terms of licensing. As for the cost, Domo is an end-to-end BI tool so its pricing is a little higher than other players in the market, for example, non end-to-end BI tools such as OBIEE and Tableau specific only for business intelligence and presenting data to the end users, unlike Domo which handles everything. You want to get Domo as an integration tool, an ETL tool, etc. As the tool is end-to-end, its cost is always going to be a little higher than other BI tools, but it's worth paying because you won't have to spend extra for other activities. After all, Domo can do those activities."

"It is on the pricier end."
