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 changed my organization positively as it marks the beginning of client engagement and the client engaging funnel."
"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."
"Appsflyer has positively impacted our organization by improving the particular events' properties."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"From a programmatic perspective, Appsflyer is one of the more reliable platforms when it comes to cross-channel management."
"It's the one and only complete open source big data platform Ambari-managed admin configuration for HDFS, YARN, Hive, HBase, etc."
"Cloudera Data Platform has significantly improved our data management."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"From a product standpoint, their Ambari UI is incredibly valuable for cluster monitoring."
"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 has positively impacted my organization by eliminating challenges we faced with CDH, which had not been supported for a cloud journey; in contrast, CDP allows for easy, mostly automated scalability where I can schedule job workflows, fine-tune system resource metrics, and add nodes with just a click."
"We use it for data science activities."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
 

Cons

"One improvement that Appsflyer can make is to find better ways to access aggregating raw data."
"Pricing is a major area for improvement, as costs rise quickly as our app grows."
"One area where Appsflyer can improve is suitability for small businesses."
"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."
"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 could improve its documentation so that developers can implement it better."
"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."
"Initially, we went with Cloudera due to it being a popular choice in the market, etc, then realized it was bad choice."
"The setup of Hadoop was easy thanks to Ambari, but installing the security components was complex."
"I work a lot with banking, IT and communications customers. Hortonworks must improve or must upgrade their services for these sectors."
"The initial setup may take several hours or days, depending on the challenges faced during installation. It's not always a smooth process due to potential complexities."
"Hadoop, does not provide improved performance, compared to traditional RDBMS, unless processing batches in the TB-PB range, or if the Hadoop platform has significantly more resources available."
"Cloudera Data Platform can be improved by addressing the feasibility of using it in the cloud; there are some complexities around the components used in cloud by Cloudera Data Platform that are not really convenient."
"The technical support is okay, but not excellent."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
