Manager, Customer Success at a real estate/law firm with 501-1,000 employees
Data has improved campaign attribution and now drives targeted onboarding and retention
One challenge that clients sometimes mention about Appsflyer is that the platform can feel slightly complex initially, especially for teams that are not from a technical background. Setting up attribution logic, SKAN configurations, or deep linking journeys may require support during onboarding. Another area for improvement is reporting flexibility and dashboard usability. Some clients want more simplified views or faster custom report generation, especially when multiple teams such as marketing, product, and CRM are all using the platform together. Some clients also mention that the pricing for Appsflyer can become expensive as apps scale and attribution volumes grow, especially for high growth consumer apps. Smaller teams sometimes feel they are not utilizing the platform's capabilities compared to the cost. From a platform perspective, another improvement area could be data freshness and attribution transparency in certain privacy heavy ecosystems such as iOS or SKAN. While this is partly an industry wide challenge, clients still expect more real time visibility and simpler interpretation of aggregated attribution data.

Struggled to justify enterprise adoption but have valued broader developer accessibility
If I could change or add anything to improve C3 AI, I would suggest making it not just an AI platform, but a data and AI combined platform, as bringing in data management elements, governance, and cloud features is critical. The real AI and modeling represent only 20 percent of what is needed; there is over 80 percent in the rest of the world that should be addressed. Given Tom Siebel's deep understanding of corporate work and his network, integrating C3 AI with other ERP solutions such as Oracle, SAP, or Microsoft is essential. If C3 AI can be an enterprise platform, embedding more data elements and ensuring seamless integration with other ERP solutions would significantly enhance its capabilities and attractiveness. If someone told me that they have SAP, and C3 AI can seamlessly integrate the data and perform action calls between SAP, allowing me to operate on C3 AI as I would on SAP, that would be a killer feature for me. I would suggest avoiding traditional licensing sales as it is too expensive; the starting price is too high. Considering a subscription model or a pay-per-use model is the best business structure for AI or data solution vendors. The pay-per-use model benefits usage, as the more you use, the more successful you become with the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From a programmatic perspective, Appsflyer is one of the more reliable platforms when it comes to cross-channel management."
"Appsflyer provides a strong ROI for our company and our application, which helps both our marketing team and product team."
"In my opinion, the best features Appsflyer offers are reliable performance, very fast speeds, and a user-friendly UI."
"Appsflyer is one of the strongest platforms for mobile attribution, deep linking, and ecosystem integration, and it actually delivers strong value for performance driven brands."
"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."
"The dashboard and real-time analytics are the main reasons I use Appsflyer when I am tracking order conversions."
"Appsflyer has positively impacted my organization by helping me quickly integrate with Facebook and Reddit without having to write a bunch of APIs or having to install the Facebook SDK into my mobile apps."
"The biggest strength of C3 AI is how much it handles in one platform: data integration, model deployment, governance, monitoring, and application development."
"In the first phase alone, there was approximately $90 million in savings, which reduced about 5% of inventory."
"I have noticed improvements in efficiency, reduced downtime, and time saved for my team, as it is quite integrated through the source ML pipeline to report to general customer UI, functioning as one platform that takes care of everything, thus improving efficiency, optimization, and increasing project deliverables."
"One of the best features C3 AI offers is that you do not need to learn Python or any specific machine learning programming language; you can use C3 AI with JavaScript."
 

Cons

"Some clients also mention that the pricing for Appsflyer can become expensive as apps scale and attribution volumes grow, especially for high growth consumer apps."
"It is difficult to predict the price for Appsflyer as it is based on conversions. It is also expensive."
"Appsflyer could improve its documentation so that developers can implement it better."
"One challenge is attribution discrepancies; sometimes the numbers among Appsflyer, Meta, and Google internal backend events do not match, especially after iOS ATT changes."
"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."
"Appsflyer is a powerful application, but sometimes having a lot of reports and charts can become complex initially and has a learning curve to it."
"An area of improvement for Appsflyer is the large number of reports and dashboards."
"Appsflyer can be improved with event de-duplication."
"C3 AI can feel very enterprise-heavy. For smaller teams, it may feel excessive."
"The reason I chose eight out of ten is that as a user of C3 AI, I found the operational aspect not easy to understand; it is a bit tricky, and you should have more core knowledge to navigate C3 AI."
"However, I sometimes hear from colleagues that hallucination is an issue."
"We even failed to open any doors for C3 AI; there are no smaller wins, learning opportunities, or process improvements, even if the main goals were not met."
