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.

Data virtualization has unified siloed sources and now supports real-time decisions
The best features Denodo offers stand out to me as the ability to develop REST web services fast and easily, create and combine new views, integrate different sources of data, and connect with other tools seamlessly. When I mention fast and easy creation of views and integration, I love the agile data provisioning and integration, where Denodo provides a comprehensive set of capabilities for implementing logical data integration, management, and delivery, which in turn enables agile data analytics and an informed decision-making process to be smooth. I also appreciate the performance optimization with AI, which improves performance optimization through the integration of artificial intelligence capabilities. Furthermore, I appreciate the unified security and governance, where it addresses the need for an organization to effectively manage security, data privacy, and data protection easily, offering a centralized platform that allows the application of governance policies and fine-grained security controls. Another feature I would add about Denodo is that it also provides a single point of control where we can establish security controls over the entire infrastructure and gain visibility into all our data assets. Denodo has positively impacted my organization as since we started using this tool, it has been very helpful because it is a huge advantage that we can connect to many different databases to provide data rapidly and accurately and also gain insights, which helps us to make data-driven decisions easily. It has proven to be a valuable environment for deploying data virtualization solutions, and its user community is active in finding and fixing issues more accurately. Through data insights from Denodo, we have been able to improve our decision making, which helps to better communication between the stakeholders thanks to the real-time experience. It also saves a lot of time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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 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."
"Appsflyer has changed my organization positively as it marks the beginning of client engagement and the client engaging funnel."
"Appsflyer has positively impacted the organization by helping increase revenue and reduce user acquisition costs, allowing for more users at a cheaper cost."
"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."
"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."
"The data abstraction is the most valuable feature."
"On top of that, if you want to quickly show your data and use your data for analytical purposes, then this is the best tool."
"Overall, the product works quite well and has a good set of features."
"Denodo's best features are that it is very user-friendly and easy to use, it is flexible, and the data catalog is very useful."
"Denodo is an easy tool that can be used for data mining, allowing you to connect to all of the data sources and easily see the views."
"Access to numerous forums and internet information."
"In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."
"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."
 

Cons

"Appsflyer can be improved with event de-duplication."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"An area of improvement for Appsflyer is the large number of reports and dashboards."
"One improvement that Appsflyer can make is to find better ways to access aggregating raw data."
"There are a couple of areas that can be improved in Denodo. From a stability point of view, sometimes we see issues in the data management functionality. This only happens now and then, however, and usually takes place when we add in our own customization."
"I would like it if we could pull the data model or export the data model because Denodo has, based on how you build, something called associations. The data model gets very confusing when you go look at it. It depends on how you define it, but it's really huge. I wish there was a way to export it into Visio. It could be that they already have a way to do it, and I don't know, but it would be much easier for the architects and even for the developers to look at it than scrunching it into the screen and expanding every small portion of it. If there was an easy way to export the Denodo model into another modeling tool and view it, it would be great."
"Don't have too high expectations on data catalog functionality. It works, but, its current implementation is rather rudimental."
"Denodo's training documentation could be improved by providing more material. From an administrative standpoint, I've found that only Denodo websites provide the usual tutorials. It may be because it's a bit of a restricted tool, but it results in trouble with learning. Normally, I can find help and solutions from other sources, but I haven't been able to find any for Denodo. Other that, it's fine and it performs well. I only have six months of experience, so I can't accurately suggest improvements."
"Tasks such as conversion of a date format or conversion of a number format that can be done in a very easy way in different languages, like SQL or Oracle, are not so easy to do in Denodo. For example, if you want to convert a date from one format to another, in Oracle it's pretty easy; in Denodo, however, it requires so many lines of code. Simple things that can be done very quickly in other database languages require more lines of code in Denodo."
"It would be beneficial to make sure that the team that will be using Denodo has some kind of training on how to use the product at least a month beforehand, and there could even be some kind of feedback or Q&A sessions to go along with the training. If Denodo were able to provide this kind of training, it would be very helpful to users in insurance and banking companies because the staff are typically older and not always technically-minded."
"Denodo can be improved in some areas. We faced some issues with respect to Java client dependencies and had significant hassle with version management."
"The stability of the features can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."
"Depending on the size of the client you want to work with, it can be prohibitively expensive at times."
"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."
"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."
"The licensing charges for this solution are payable annually."
"I am not super familiar with the pricing, but so far, it seems good. We have been happy. We haven't seen any problems. The only time we had to pay extra was during the upgrade. We didn't upgrade at the time they told us to upgrade, and we had to pay extra to keep the service. They had stopped the support for the older version and moved to the newer version. It was not their fault. It was our fault because we didn't get on board quickly."
"The pricing is pretty good, and I would rate it at four out of five."
"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."
