Domo vs MicroStrategy Analytics: Which is a better fit?

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Jared. I'm a business development specialist working with Solarium. I'd like to give Domo a rating of three out of five. Prior to using Domo, we were using a service called Pipedrive for our CRM. We wanted to just find something a little bit more dynamic that really was able to work with us and be able to use across platform for all the different agents that worked in our company. We decided to go with Domo just 'cause we wanted to try something that seemed like it was very innovative and new. Domo seemed to be a fresh app out there or a fresh platform out there that really would be able to meet all of our needs and also be pretty similar to what we were using before, but give us a lot more advanced features. Transitioning to Domo was pretty seamless. Our team was able to easily figure out the platform, figure out all the settings and whatnot so we could customize it to our needs. So really the rollout was smooth, nothing crazy, and it was able to get up and running as soon as possible. As far as advice for people who are looking to transition to Domo, I definitely would say to make sure that you have your full IT team and also your project management operations team collaborating on that to make sure that they're all fully understanding what the platform can do for them and how they can best utilize it to help your business grow and advance.

Curt: Hi. My name's Curt. I'm the CEO of Proclamate, a boutique data and analytics firm working with small businesses. I give MicroStrategy a three out a five. Our clients use MicroStrategy on a regular basis as an enterprise product, especially with Pixel Perfect type reporting. They also use it for online reporting, but we're most happy with the Pixel reporting. What I love about MicroStrategy is how much control you have over the look, feel and design of the product. You can move anything anywhere, place it exactly like you want. The printability of the tool is just amazing and it's really great for clients who still need printed reports. In terms of what I don't like about MicroStrategy, the learning curve, especially for newer business intelligence analysts, it takes a while to get up and going in juxtaposition to some of their competitors. You have the keys to the kingdom, which is great, and also it can be somewhat cumbersome in comparison to some of these out of the box BI tools.
