OMIQ vs FlowJo: Flow Cytometry Software Comparison

Looking for a FlowJo alternative? OMIQ is a cloud-based flow cytometry software platform for classical and high-dimensional data analysis. Unlike FlowJo’s desktop workflows, OMIQ scales in the cloud, prevents crashes, and makes collaboration seamless.

Integrated Algorithms and Workflows

OMIQ combines classical and advanced analysis, including 30+ natively integrated high-dimensional algorithms for dimension reduction, clustering, QC, cleaning, normalization, pseudotime/trajectory analysis, differential expression and more, in one reproducible pipeline.

Cloud Performance and Collaboration

As a cloud platform, OMIQ scales for large datasets, delivers consistent performance, enables real-time sharing and collaboration, and lets you access your work from anywhere.

Prism Integration

OMIQ exports directly to GraphPad Prism with templates for reshaping your data, statistical analysis, graphs and layouts. No need for manual manipulation and restructuring of data.

OMIQ vs FlowJo: Side-by-Side Comparison

OMIQ

FlowJo

Platform Type

Fully cloud-based — no downloads, no installation, accessible anywhere with reliable performance

Desktop software — local download and installation required; performance tied to hardware

Advanced Algorithms

Over 30 high-dimensional tools (e.g. t-SNE, UMAP, FlowSOM, trajectory analysis) natively integrated

Advanced features only available via plug-ins; requires extra installation and manual workflows

Collaboration

Real-time cloud sharing of datasets, results, and workflows with individuals or groups

Collaboration via separate tools or manual file transfers; lacks integrated cloud sharing

Workflow Transparency

Auditable, stepwise workflows providing reproducibility and traceability

Workspace structure supports some automation; less transparency in multi-step workflows

Data Accessibility & Performance

Handles massive datasets effortlessly via scalable cloud infrastructure

Performance hinges on local computing power; large datasets can lead to lag or crashes

Prism & EasyPanel Integration

Direct exports to GraphPad Prism with automatic analysis; EasyPanel natively embedded within workflows

No direct integration; users must export manually (e.g., CSV) and restructure data for GraphPad Prism
