Mayank Gambhir - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Process mining has delivered major savings and now needs better automation and task mining
Collaboration with ERPs should be improved. Compared to SAP Signavio, Celonis is less competitive for BPMN modeling. Deployment flexibility needs enhancement, as on-premises support is not as strong as SaaS support. The most important area for improvement is the automation part. End-to-end automation capabilities are desired. Currently, workflows are being used, but actions should be able to go via email, task, APIs, and ultimately write back to the source. Adding RPA capability that can interact with required systems and write back to the source would greatly enhance Celonis. Task mining capabilities also require improvement. UiPath Process Mining and Microsoft Process Mining have better task mining capabilities compared to Celonis. Usability and support from Celonis need improvement. They should help clients find more value in the product. Cost is another significant concern, as Celonis is very expensive compared to other process mining tools. The license cost should be reduced. Celonis should establish partnerships with clients to find more use cases and maximize the value gained from Celonis.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Appsflyer has positively impacted our organization by improving the particular events' properties."
"There is a very big positive impact from using Appsflyer, as implementing it gives us much clearer visibility into campaign quality and user behaviors, with a significant improvement in ROAS optimization."
"Appsflyer has changed my organization positively as it marks the beginning of client engagement and the client engaging funnel."
"Appsflyer has impacted my organization quite positively, as we were also using Adjust, and I prefer Appsflyer."
"In my opinion, the best features Appsflyer offers are reliable performance, very fast speeds, and a user-friendly UI."
"Celonis’ Process Cockpit is valuable."
"Celonis is intuitive, powerful, and user-friendly."

"The real-time replication was just implemented and is quite useful."
"They have a very unique product because it gives the user a dashboard, and end-users can easily evaluate the differences and get the required output."
"We can observe the flow and invoices."
"I have seen a positive impact of Celonis in my organization, as I receive many testimonials from clients mentioning that process mining has genuinely helped, especially through Celonis."
"We use the tool for supply chain transformation. The tool has helped us find the bottlenecks in the supply chain like where the delay occurred in delivery, payment, etc. We had to extract two years' of data from the SAP system and an internal tool. We fed the data into Celonis and it created a process map for us with hundreds of variations. It has helped us see where exactly the bottleneck was. The tool has also helped us generate a lot of reviews and KPIs. It has helped us to find the problem and the remedy through process optimization."
 

Cons

"One challenge is attribution discrepancies; sometimes the numbers among Appsflyer, Meta, and Google internal backend events do not match, especially after iOS ATT changes."
"Appsflyer could improve its documentation so that developers can implement it better."
"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."
"One improvement that Appsflyer can make is to find better ways to access aggregating raw data."
"It is difficult to predict the price for Appsflyer as it is based on conversions. It is also expensive."
"Appsflyer can be improved with event de-duplication."
"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."
"We have found that the solution is only scalable if an organization runs particular types of software."
"They need to provide readymade value stream mapping."
"The data modeling features could be more intuitive."
"I believe one thing I can recommend here is that they create a community atmosphere to assist new users in doing hands-on work."
"Celonis' data engineering processes should be transformed into a low-code structure"
"It is not particularly flexible in the way it works, and it is quite rigid."
"In the next release, I would like for them to integrate more custom features to ease the process of having multiple solutions. I would like to be able to integrate it with other solutions."
"They should provide a community edition license so that everyone can deploy or install it on their own system and get more hands-on experience with the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is quite a significant investment. From a cost perspective, they need to reevaluate the licensing model. The cost is justified, but they need to make the licensing model slightly different."
"Celonis offers free learning possibilities. I am using the free version of Celonis."
"Celonis is cost-effective."
"It is only affordable for large or public companies."
"Though Celonis is a bit pricey, it is worth it."
"Pricing-wise, Celonis is a five out of ten right now because my clients just started with the solution. When my clients start looking at scaling Celonis, the cost will grow. Every user has an additional charge, and every gig of data you bring in costs extra."
"The solution’s pricing is based on APC. It charges you based on the amount of GV that you use."
"Celonis has the highest pricing in the process mining domain."
