Empowers teams to build visualization-rich reports and make faster decisions using historical user behavior data
I think areas for Amplitude's improvement include data retention. The maximum data I have worked with, the clickstream data on Amplitude, is two years, whereas we rely on Tableau for historical data of at least two years. I am not sure whether it was my organization paying for lower retention or not, but having historical data would take away the reliance on Tableau. Secondly, reconciling clickstream data with Databricks or other AWS systems could help analysts spend less time verifying the accuracy of both sources, which would be really helpful. Lastly, a more focused approach on error logs is necessary. I have found that, at least with Intuit, we used Splunk more for error logs than Amplitude. Although Amplitude had the capability, developers seemed to prefer Splunk, so if that could be improved, it would be good.

Marketing teams have made data-driven campaign decisions and grow real app user bases
For me, the best part is that it clearly shows which ads or channels are bringing your real users. It tells us from where we are actually getting a stable set of user bases so that marketing decisions for the future become easier. It provides a great user interface, making it easy for tracking and future marketing campaigns. The integration is quite smooth, and the documentation which Appsflyer provides, along with the support from its tech team is amazing in terms of getting started and integrating into our applications. Dashboards, segregations, and charts provided for analytics are top-notch and up to market standard, helping business users to analyze data and make future marketing decisions. It has significantly improved our revenue, helping us understand our real users to target our core audience better and expand our business.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Amplitude impacts my organization positively as it serves as a central point that allows everyone within the organization to speak the same language of data."
"Amplitude offers flexibility in real-time data analysis, allowing users to make immediate decisions."
"Amplitude has provided almost instant value to our dev team when they are deploying new trackable events and seeing how those events line up before they go out to production."
"Amplitude has impacted my organization positively in a huge way, as everyone uses it to gain insights into user behavior before implementing new features, which leads to massive positive change, data-driven development, lots of learning, and encouragement to use Amplitude in daily work for everyone in the company, not just analysts."
"We can create charts and bar charts for visualization purposes and check real-time data with the solution."
"Amplitude is a perfect product that will always fulfill all the data-related needs that your company has, and I would suggest anyone to go for it."
"Other areas like cohort analysis, defining key events, and user properties were also well-suited for Amplitude. It is an easy tool to use."
"Amplitude has provided a return on investment, helping us improve campaign targeting and raising personalization accuracy by almost twenty-five percent, while saving us a lot of time since I can see the analysis as quickly as possible in the dashboard, resulting in significant time and money saved."
"From a programmatic perspective, Appsflyer is one of the more reliable platforms when it comes to cross-channel management."
"Since implementing Appsflyer, we have seen a 30% increase in our total app installations and a similar percentage increase in our user base and revenue."
"From the Appsflyer dashboard, I would say the most valuable feature I use while developing is the real-time tracking feature, which is pretty good."
"Appsflyer has impacted my organization quite positively, as we were also using Adjust, and I prefer Appsflyer."
"Appsflyer has positively impacted our organization by improving the particular events' properties."
"Appsflyer has changed my organization positively as it marks the beginning of client engagement and the client engaging funnel."
"A specific positive outcome I've seen from using Appsflyer is getting insights into iOS with their single source of truth, which I use consistently for data analysis and getting a report that is agreeable between the client and me."
 

Cons

"Amplitude is almost perfect, but there are some charts I cannot create due to the large data structure."
"I choose nine because, lately, when I was using it, the more people wanted to improve, the more complex things got—not in a good way, but confusing."
"I give it a nine because it is close to a perfect ten for me, but it is only useful in one layer of the project, not the other, which the tool is supposed to do."
"We attempted to use their screen recording and session recording capabilities as a replacement for a previous vendor, and we found that the functionality they offered did not stack up to the previous vendor."
"The visualization of the properties can also be enhanced. Basically, the visualization could be better, and the real-time analytics can be enhanced."
"Amplitude could be improved by being cheaper."
"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"I would say sometimes the integration could be a bit tough, especially because I struggled when I was integrating Appsflyer into my Apple Search Ads and my iOS application."
"Many times we run into problems, and Appsflyer tech support is hard to reach."
"Appsflyer can be improved with event de-duplication."
"One improvement that Appsflyer can make is to find better ways to access aggregating raw data."
"I feel that a feature improvement would be beneficial. After performing all the user actions, we were supposed to wait a few minutes, maybe two or five, and then check Appsflyer to download it, as there is no UI or UX to display user journey actions and properties directly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a little on the higher end, especially when considering scalability."
