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.

Pros

"Since implementing Appsflyer, we have seen a 30% increase in our total app installations and a similar percentage increase in our user base and revenue."
"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."
"In my opinion, the best features Appsflyer offers are reliable performance, very fast speeds, and a user-friendly UI."
"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."
"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."
"Appsflyer provides a strong ROI for our company and our application, which helps both our marketing team and product team."
"Appsflyer has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to perfect our marketing ideals informed by the analytics and metrics derived from it."
"The product offers a fairly easy setup process."
"Now, using this solution, it is much cheaper to have all of the data available for searching, not in real-time, but whenever there is a pending request."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"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."
"With it, we have faster processing times for our apps."
"From a product standpoint, their Ambari UI is incredibly valuable for cluster monitoring."

Cons

"One improvement that Appsflyer can make is to find better ways to access aggregating raw data."
"Appsflyer could improve its documentation so that developers can implement it better."
"Many times we run into problems, and Appsflyer tech support is hard to reach."
"An area of improvement for Appsflyer is the large number of reports and dashboards."
"It is difficult to predict the price for Appsflyer as it is based on conversions. It is also expensive."
"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."
"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."
"One challenge is attribution discrepancies; sometimes the numbers among Appsflyer, Meta, and Google internal backend events do not match, especially after iOS ATT changes."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"For on-premise use, I would not recommend Cloudera Data Platform as it is expensive and complicated to upgrade."
"It requires too much coding work; we're not good Java and Python developers."
"I work a lot with banking, IT and communications customers. Hortonworks must improve or must upgrade their services for these sectors."
"Areas for improvement with Cloudera Data Platform could be the initial learning curve that can be a step for teams new to big data economy systems."
"Security- Although they support Knox and Ranger and Kerberos, they are still missing attribute-level encryption features."
"We face downtime and reliability issues many times a week with Cloudera Data Platform because it is a very complex system and all configurations are managed by the end user."
"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."
