Accurate attribution has improved budget allocation and guides daily campaign decisions
Branch integrates with my existing marketing technology stack by using MoEngage and Braze, so basically all the marketing campaigns automatically generate the Branch link, allowing us to track referral and deep linking from each channel. Branch handles cross-platform attribution for my campaigns pretty well; compared to AppsFlyer or Firebase, I prefer using Branch. Branch helps me streamline reporting for my marketing team by automating deep linking and referral links, so it provides me better views of my campaign optimization. Branch supports my mobile app growth strategy by giving me a better view of which channels work and which need improvement. With this data, I can rethink or change my strategies on budget allocation and marketing approach. Branch's deep linking capabilities have helped my user experience and conversion rates by allowing users to click links from ads or push notifications, directing them to the right page in the front end. On the back end, we as the company get a better view of which channel generated this user, so I can optimize the marketing budget. I would describe the learning curve for new users getting started with Branch as smooth; I would definitely recommend Branch. I use Branch's analytics and reporting features daily, every time. My advice for others looking into using Branch is that you should definitely consider using Branch; if you are looking for attribution apps or software, Branch should be on your list. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.

Centralized journeys have streamlined multi-channel customer engagement and personalization
Overall, my experience with Braze has been very positive. If I had to mention areas for improvement, I would say the number of campaigns, canvas segments, and channel growth can become challenging to manage and organize. I would also like to see more flexibility around reporting and analytics, especially being able to easily combine cross-channel data and customize reports without relying on additional data from outside of Braze or data platform teams. Braze has been improving its reporting capabilities, and new reporting and dashboard features are definitely moving in the right direction. Additionally, making complex journeys easier to troubleshoot and maintain would be beneficial. When large canvases have multiple branches and conditions, having strong visibility into why a customer took a particular path would ease things for engineering and marketing teams. There is also a limitation regarding making the platform easier to manage at an enterprise scale, especially with a growing number of campaigns since Braze does not have features such as folders for organization. Regarding improvements, Braze's technical support is excellent, but I see areas where the experience could be smoother. On integration, Braze has a strong set of pre-built integrations and APIs; however, for some complex enterprise systems, integration can require engineering effort. More out-of-the-box connectors and simpler configurations would definitely help. From a UI perspective, while the platform is powerful, navigating and troubleshooting can take time with a large number of campaigns and complex canvases. Apart from that, I find the support extremely helpful overall, so I would not say there are major gaps, just opportunities for making this already strong platform easier to manage at scale. One area I would like to see improvement in is the visibility and troubleshooting experience. When running large-scale campaigns across multiple channels, more detailed end-to-end visibility on user interactions would be helpful, such as tracking when a particular user enters or exits a canvas or whether an issue occurs. I would also like to see ongoing improvements in reporting, particularly making it easier to connect campaign performance to our broader business metrics without extra engineering work. As Braze adds more AI capabilities, I see an opportunity to leverage AI not just for content creation but also for troubleshooting, identifying campaign issues, and explaining performance trends. This would save a significant amount of time for both the marketing and engineering teams.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The impact of Branch on my organization has vastly improved our rate of return on our investment in the campaign department, so the user acquisition cost has drastically been reduced since we have started using Branch."
"Branch has positively impacted our organization by bringing huge changes regarding referrals; users come to our apps, and we have increased our user base."
"Branch has positively impacted my organization by helping me track better attribution, so I can allocate my budget to the right channel."
"Braze is an excellent tool that covers my main use case."
"We went from about three percent engagement on average per channel to around eight to ten percent overall CTR."
"Braze's best features, for me, are the unified profile cards, along with the ease of connecting different channels, including email as a focus, plus push notifications and extending that to things to in-app messages, content cards, and SMS."
"Braze has had a positive impact on my organization in that a lot of things which required some amount of technical effort previously can now be streamlined by the marketers, making marketers more agnostic and self-served, which has been the biggest impact."
"Braze has allowed us to reduce the time of creation and setup by half for campaign creation, for at least one-off campaigns and automated workflows, which is really great."
"The biggest positive impact has been making marketing, CRM, and lifecycle marketing more targeted and scalable."
"Segmentation is one of the best features Braze offers in my opinion, along with the ability to utilize the tool in building drip campaigns, drip campaigns off of existing campaigns, and then being able to leverage or pull levers based on real-time metrics."
"I love Braze for their retargeting and automation because their automation tracks down user behavior in near real-time, allowing us to convert users based on their trigger actions."
 

Cons

"To improve Branch, there is an area for improvement in debugging and interruptions."
"Branch can be improved as customer support is not that great, and it takes time to get a response from them."
"Branch can improve on debugging and downtime because sometimes when I click the Branch link, it is not redirecting to the right page; it is just some glitch."
"Currently, I find that the AI decisioning features, particularly the churn model prediction, are underrated and could be better."
"Braze can be improved in areas where I felt it was lacking. I emphasize that this was four years ago, so perhaps it has changed in the meantime."
"Braze needs to provide local support, especially for Indonesia, so we can discuss local context more effectively."
"The drag-and-drop function was expected to be more understandable and easier to implement, but it turns out to be quite technical, making it difficult for marketing managers to develop components by themselves."
"I found the original format of reporting and analytics in Braze to be easy to use, but not very complete."
"My biggest complaint for the most part is how complicated it tends to be with Ticketmaster specifically."
"One area where Braze could be improved is usability for more complex campaigns."
"I think it's an expensive tool, so from a business standpoint, a lot of people might not be able to justify the cost given how expensive it is."
