Frequently Asked Questions

Domo Embedded is an extension of the Domo BI platform that lets companies display dashboards inside their apps, typically using iFrames. Because it's built on Domo's cloud-only architecture, embedding is limited to hosted views with minimal customization, making it difficult to deliver a fully native or white-labeled user experience.

Reveal is a true embedded SDK, not a hosted BI tool in an iFrame. Developers get full API access, custom UI control, and flexible deployment (cloud, on-prem, or hybrid). While Domo bolts analytics onto your app, Reveal builds it in—secure, seamless, and fully integrated.

Domo charges by user, usage, and capacity, making costs unpredictable and hard to scale. Reveal offers flat pricing with no per-user fees or overage penalties. You get full access from day one, so your costs stay stable whether you have 10 or 10,000 users.

Yes, Reveal provides full white-labeling so you can customize logos, colors, fonts, and layout to match your product's branding. Domo's embedded dashboards retain platform branding and styling restrictions. Reveal looks and feels like your app because it is—no compromises, no hosted wrappers.

Reveal supports a wide range of data sources including SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Google BigQuery, REST APIs, Excel, and cloud services like Azure and AWS. Unlike Domo, Reveal doesn't lock you into rigid pipelines. You get real-time access to any data source your product depends on.

Absolutely. Reveal is built for developers, with a true embedded SDK, full API access, and detailed documentation. It's designed for fast, flexible integration across multiple tech stacks, while Domo relies more on iFrames and is less customizable at the code level.

Yes. Reveal's architecture is optimized for high performance, even with large data volumes and heavy user loads. Its native embed approach reduces latency and improves scalability—ensuring reliable performance where iFrame-based solutions like Domo can struggle.
