Connectors are necessary to quickly connect multiple data sources within the Domo platform. Domo offers its users hundreds of pre-built connectors to choose from, with around 40 one-click connector apps and 300 to 400 total connectors.
Connect to third-party data sources using Domo’s connectors. You don’t have to know how to code or interact with a third-party API to use the system. Just select the source from Domo’s list—for example, Facebook or Amazon Web Services—and click “Get.” Domo Connectors will manage your customer credentials, including notifications when passwords have expired, and data will refresh automatically in real time.
The process of combining multiple data sources has traditionally been fraught with difficulties, particularly for people who don’t have technical backgrounds. Domo has changed that. The tools within Domo Magic enable users at all technical skill levels to transform their data to provide real business value.
With ETL capability, you can cleanse, combine, and transform your data in minutes. You can schedule jobs, as well. Meanwhile, Domo’s DataFusion allows you to select and merge various data sources. If you know common SQL commands, then you can access, join, cleanse, and transform data using DataFlows, as well.
Create meaningful data visualizations using Domo’s Card Builder feature. Card Builder interprets data for businesses and suggests how to visualize it for maximum clarity.
Select from an array of chart types to visualize your data using Domo’s Card Builder. Domo will automatically highlight any key takeaways from your data, along with important summary figures. You also have the ability to customize summary numbers using flexible options.
Domo’s creators believed that collaboration should happen within a centralized environment, rather than being dispersed between dozens of third-party applications. For that reason, they built DomoBuzz, which gives users the ability to have conversations with their teammates right where their data lives.
Sign up to receive immediate notifications via text or email, or in-product alerts, whenever discussions are happening about metrics that matter to you personally. DomoBuzz preserves historical context by associating conversations with cards that are searchable within your company’s account in real-time.

If you've got a lot of money and would like a powerful charting tool then this is a great solution. I don't think it completely fills your business intelligence/reporting needs though. I'm not sure how Domo runs their contract lengths, but I'd definitely recommend going month by month for a trial period before committing to a long term contract. That way you can see if their software works for you.
Pros
We use Domo for our marketing metrics, connected frontend and backend data for report visualization. Works great with all the integrations and connections that are possible.
Cons
It can be buggy when building charts. Dashboards can be hard to setup unless you deep dive into the platform.

Domo provided for us a mobile-compatible platform with cloud delivery which makes its visualizations open to all users, regardless of their device or location.
Pros
Domo offers attractive visualizations that are a far cry from classic rows and columns.
Cons
Another cons for us is that Domo delivers dynamic dashboard presentations, but it doesn,t allow the users to do ad-hoc reporting.

Clunky user interface (UI) and esoteric commands.

Having data pull in rapidly is essential for a fast-driving company.

The ability to filter certain data and pull in a select number of products is a great advantage to using DOMO.

Make DOMO an application that is used throughout your business. We have seen several areas that originally did not think they needed a business intelligence tool, but they now use DOMO frequently and have experienced the benefits of having their data transformed by DOMO.
There are a number of data sources that already have API links making it easy and seamless to feed data into DOMO from other SaaS products.
Pros
Key Performance Indicators, Mobile App, Alert System when metrics fall below a programmed number, integrated chat about specific cards, and customer support is bar-none!
Cons
When we went live with DOMO we were not able to fully optimize and leverage the information that the analytics provided due to the software not being HIPAA compliant.

Prior to investing in DOMO ensure that your data sources will allow an outside feed/API. We did find one of our EHRs would not allow this and it requires a manual process for us to feed the data to DOMO. This does not allow real-time data to be reflected in several of our reports.
Easy ways to visualize data. A step up from my own reports in excel.
Pros
Allows us to build customized reports and export them immediately.
Cons
I often export reports but delete logos because of how cheap the logos look.

Domo makes my job easier by offering some visualizations that other tools make much more difficult to accomplish.

Once we got Domo running and connected to all of our systems (both our own data as well as data from other websites like Google ad spend and Zoho) then not only did we get to have our interns do something valuable but we also weren't waiting until Monday to get insight... we could actually manage our business in something closer to real-time. Seems obvious but without Domo, I don't know how we'd do it.
Pros
Easy enough on mobile that our executive team can use it.
Cons
Had to get a lot of people involved on our side at the beginning to hook up to all of our accounts. Maybe that's inevitable. Alerting is pretty basic, would like to see more there.

Data drives a business, bottom line.
Pros
Domo helped us move away from manually compiling reports from various sources and made it a one point solution.
Cons
The baby boomers at my company do not trust this "internet stuff" so adoption has been slow. However they are finally coming around thanks to the power of Domo.

Overall we are very happy with the cloud -based BI solution and would recommend it to other companies.
Pros
ETL function makes it easy to combine various datasets from many different sources and many out-of-the-box connectors are already installed and ready to import data (google analytics, shopify, Instagram, Twitter, google sheets etc.).
Cons
More flexibility in structuring the page (chart size options) and more color options in reports.

The only thing I can write as a potential "con" is that if you are working with multiple data sets like myself, and do not have deep data experience, it can be difficult to string your data sets together once you bring them in.

Try it!
Pros
It's a great platform for aggregating, manipulating and displaying a snapshot (or real time view) of your business metrics.
Cons
Domo lacks some more advanced functionality, such as: (1) The ability to display on one card, data from more than one date object (2) Geo-spatial analysis TableAU, QuickSight by AWS and QGIS offer functionality that may better fit your use case.

Overall a good product if the fit is right.
Pros
It can integrate with data we have in house and in the cloud.

The best way to get around the troubles of Domo is by duplicating cards that are similar to the data you are looking to export. Once you duplicate the card you can edit the card to apply rules and filters that will give you the results you are looking for.
Pros
one of the best feature is using cloud which gives it more flexibility to access data anywhere.
Cons
No Filter saving option on the Cards or on the collection. you need to create new pages or sub pages each time if you have a card or group for same filter condition.
