Hype and plunder: Domo a new low for self-indulgent IPOs

Same here... I just wish Looker had visualizations at least on par with ... Excel. They’ve been promising to remedy that for two years now, and now they are promising a move to HighCharts by end of year... but will they fix all the issues, or just slap on a new coat of paint?

I can only wait and see for so long.

At least? Excel has excellent, top-level visualizations. They might not look sexy, but for everyone who works in the area of data visualization it's obvious how much effort and thought have been put into designing Excel charts. Getting data visualization right is far far less trivial than it might seem.

Haven’t ran into much as our needs are fairly basic right now.

Biggest gripe for me is the lack of comparison period within the tiles that display numbers. For example you have 1k users doing X. Is that good or bad?

Data in context is much more usable - if X is leaving and it’s a 50% drop from last week, that’s great news!

Conversely, if X is feature use, you have 100m users and the change is 2% from last year, maybe it’s not so good.
