ParthasarathyT - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Publicis Sapient
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.

Has enabled efficient big data processing and querying but remains complex to manage and configure
Cloudera Data Platform should use fewer tools and remove the complexity between them. It should make it easier for the end user to change the configuration and understand it better. The UI tool for jobs in Cloudera Data Platform can be improved to provide a proper image of ETL jobs and detailed consolidated graphs to monitor Spark-based Hue jobs.

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 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."
"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."
"The dashboard and real-time analytics are the main reasons I use Appsflyer when I am tracking order conversions."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Hortonworks is the best, comparing all three flavors."
"Ease of deployment and management of the Hadoop cluster are features we've found most valuable."
"Cloudera Data Platform has positively impacted our organization by reducing overall manual intervention, requiring fewer efforts and resources to build a big data cluster compared to traditional methods."
"Cloudera Data Platform proved to be a highly reliable and powerful solution capable of supporting complex enterprise use cases on AWS with strong governance and scalability."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"The scalability is the key reason why we are on this platform."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"Hortonworks is 100% Open Source."
 

Cons

"It is difficult to predict the price for Appsflyer as it is based on conversions. It is also expensive."
"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."
"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 is a powerful application, but sometimes having a lot of reports and charts can become complex initially and has a learning curve to it."
"Appsflyer can be improved with event de-duplication."
"Pricing is a major area for improvement, as costs rise quickly as our app grows."
"Many times we run into problems, and Appsflyer tech support is hard to reach."
"One area where Appsflyer can improve is suitability for small businesses."
"I have not seen enough innovation in Cloudera Data Platform, particularly in support for machine learning."
"The ability to update data is an area where the product could improve."
"The technical support is okay, but not excellent."
"Hive performance. If Hive performance increased, Hadoop would replace (not everywhere) traditional databases (Oracle/Teradata, etc.), which would save a lot of money for the company."
"The setup of Hadoop was easy thanks to Ambari, but installing the security components was complex."
"Hortonworks is at end of life; they are not adding new things to this, so everything will be Cloudera now."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"It requires too much coding work; we're not good Java and Python developers."
