Attribution has enabled precise campaign decisions but pricing and support still need improvement
Pricing is a major area for improvement, as costs rise quickly as our app grows. The pricing becomes significantly expensive as event volume increases, so a clearer or more predictable pricing tier instead of a pure pay-per-event structure would be beneficial. Confusion around billing contracts is an issue, with several users feeling locked in and confused about pricing, charges, and contracts. Support is quite inconsistent, with no dedicated account managers available to resolve queries. Technically and functionally, Appsflyer looks good, but accuracy can sometimes face issues. Some users report inaccurate or inflated metrics that undermine trust, affecting the numbers recorded. We have faced this ourselves. We also experience dashboard issues occasionally, such as when the dashboard gets stuck in a loop and will not allow us to see it quickly during login, generally taking some time or requiring us to load the same page repeatedly. This happens occasionally, but Appsflyer is still a good tool.

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

"Appsflyer has positively impacted the organization by helping increase revenue and reduce user acquisition costs, allowing for more users at a cheaper cost."
"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."
"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 provides a strong ROI for our company and our application, which helps both our marketing team and product team."
"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 acts as a centralized and only single tool for us, making it a good investment since we do not want to have any additional tools for monitoring or managing it, resulting in a good return on our investment."
"Celonis provides valuable features with in-depth analysis models and UI, and you can make adjustments to the model for production management."
"I like that the product allows users to connect to different source systems like SAP, ServiceNow, and Salesforce."
"We used to draw errors to be processed manually, and now you can actually get the digital information directly with the help of Celonis."
"I have found the automatic mapping of the processes themselves to be a valuable feature."
"It provides a visualization of the process itself, giving a very good synthesis of performance and helping me find improvements."
"It is a very strong and very powerful solution. You can seamlessly process a large amount of data. It doesn't take a long time to do the analysis. It provides the analysis matrix, which basically includes all the analytics that need to be performed for the transactions. You can drill down really fast within graphics. You can double click and drill down to specific areas for more details. It is very intuitive and easy to use."
"The analyst role within this solution is very good; it provides a transaction dashboard, and KPI module, that are completely customizable."
"We are trying to optimize all of our organizational processes with this solution, and it gives full visibility of how a process is run end to end."
 

Cons

"One area where Appsflyer can improve is suitability for small businesses."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is a major area for improvement, as costs rise quickly as our app grows."
"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."
"An area of improvement for Appsflyer is the large number of reports and dashboards."
"The price could be better, but complexity is the biggest problem. Celonis is quite easy to operate once the customizations are done. You need a large amount of skill and knowledge to work with the tool. You need to understand it and know more than the basics."
"The product must focus on training for low-code and no-code people."
"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."
"I'd like to see a couple of algorithms that can better identify the bottlenecks and provide a better view of those bottlenecks."
"I have noticed Celonis and Azure, as Infrastructure-as-a-service do not communicate well with each other. Since Celonis has recently acquired PAF they would try to synergize their operations with Microsoft tools. In the next couple of years, they should be more connected to the Microsoft ecosystems. In the long term, they should integrate more with SAP which is a partner of Microsoft. This would result in cost efficiencies."
"The marketplace should offer process connectors for Oracle JDEdwards, and Peoplesoft."
"The price is high for us."
"They should leverage the solution's machine learning algorithms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost of the software for us or the client is on the higher end."
"Evaluating the price of the solution can be a difficult question. It is all about the business case and the return of the investments. That is typically how we also see this type of solution. It depends very much on the return. The entry-level is focused on enterprise size companies, for the SMB segment is it is out of their range. It is definitely expensive."
"Celonis has the highest pricing in the process mining domain."
"The product is pretty expensive but reasonable."
"Celonis is expensive, but it is functional."
"Once we try to scale it up, the product becomes expensive."
"I rate Celonis' pricing a ten out of ten because it is expensive."
"Celonis is expensive. It's not for mid or low-sized enterprises because the license price is high. Overall, it's quite pricey compared to anything else that I have heard about. But the good thing is that they don't charge per user. They charge for the data model."
