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.

Improved AI-driven dashboards have accelerated decisions but still need better visuals and faster refresh
Absolutely, nothing is entirely positive, and everything has both advantages and disadvantages. When I worked with Qlik Sense, circular charts were not available, which meant I had to look for alternative solutions that would be reliable or make the functionality work. There are some features that need to be added. Additionally, there is a limit to the number of fields that can be added in Qlik Sense, and I believe it would be beneficial if they increased the count for fields and columns. There might be requirements where an Excel file contains many columns that need to be displayed as visual representations to clients, and in those situations, it becomes very difficult and I have to use alternative approaches. When this problem arose, I used HTML code to write a solution and make it work. Qlik Sense should avoid these types of limitations in future updates. Another issue is page resolution. If a client wants to view the dashboard on a single page without scrolling, bar charts appear small and the values in KPIs, bar charts, scatter plots, and line graphs cannot be seen very clearly. Adding more extensions to make the job easier would also be beneficial. Improvements to reporting would be helpful as well, because working with large datasets makes reporting very difficult. Additionally, when data is refreshed, it cannot be completed in a short timeframe. Refreshing very large datasets can take one, two, or even three hours, so reducing the refresh time would be very useful for customers.

Pros

"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."
"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 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."
"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 provides a strong ROI for our company and our application, which helps both our marketing team and product team."
"Appsflyer has changed my organization positively as it marks the beginning of client engagement and the client engaging funnel."
"The dashboard and real-time analytics are the main reasons I use Appsflyer when I am tracking order conversions."
"It offers good control. Loading the logs is also a good thing."
"The extensibility of the Platform with either internally created extensions or the use of third-party provided items really opens the platform up."
"Qlik has made life easier by visualising data."
"I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an online reporting and analysis BI product."
"The integration with R & Python for predictive modeling, and possibly machine learning in the future, is very valuable."
"Qlik Sense has helped us in getting all inventory details in real-time ready for our sales reps to order and fulfill our inventory based on demand."
"Now, their reporting can be done in a more ad hoc fashion with almost instantaneous results."
"It has cut the production time of creating reports from hours to minutes."
 

Cons

"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 area where Appsflyer can improve is suitability for small businesses."
"Appsflyer could improve its documentation so that developers can implement it better."
"One improvement that Appsflyer can make is to find better ways to access aggregating raw data."
"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."
"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."
"Integrated maps should become part of the Qlik Sense, as opposed to buying an additional module just to power the BI, which has it built-in natively within the application."
"I would like to see improvements in the Qlik Sense SaaS version, particularly in the front-end capabilities."
"There is no downside."
"The only thing I would say that comes up is that sometimes it can be a bit buggy."
"Visually, Qlik Sense has some bugs that prevents the user from being able to customize fonts and certain layouts."
"Qlik has a fast learning curve due to great online training resources (Qlik continuous classroom), but those are lacking the advance features like building extensions and using the API."
"They need to make security rules to access applications and data security easier and customizable."
"Qlik application automation needs additional work and features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Understand the break over price point for switching to the Enterprise license."
"For personal use, the desktop version of Qlik Sense is absolutely free, and you can share visualizations with others and to a personal cloud space, though limited with storage space."
"I'm not able to reveal the licensing cost for Qlik Sense, but because it was a huge deal, the cost was less than the usual cost. The license wasn't that costly. It was the infrastructure that was very costly."
"It is a little expensive for the Italian market. Normally, Qlik Sense has two types and costs. The medium cost is around 700 euros per year."
"It is the most expensive tool."
"Currently, our ROI is clear and concise decision-making. This timely addition will easily add $15 million to our bottom line in 2017."
"We have 20 licenses for Qlik Sense, and it is a special license that allows people in the whole company to use it over time. You buy this license and there are some minutes that can be used. For example, for the users that used only a few minutes in a month, we use this license. All the people have the ability to work with Qlik Sense. However, the number of licenses is not the number of users. The number of users that uses Qlik Sense is approximately 35 people."
"You will spend more time on educating your staff than licensing the product."
