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.

Targeted journeys have boosted engagement and support teams track user behavior daily
CleverTap helps in enhancing the user experience, increasing engagement, and keeping track of events, for example, which user clicked which event and what actions took place. It even notices which services have not been used for a long time and reminds about it. The analytics is good, and the communication made by CleverTap through emails and SMS is effective. Additionally, push notifications are great, and the segmentation of customers is excellent, including Omnichannel journeys. CleverTap has positively impacted my organization by increasing engagement, increasing activation and reactivation. I have seen a plus 30% open rate for push notifications, a plus 3% conversion rate, and a 20% return on investment for growth.

"Branch has positively impacted my organization by helping me track better attribution, so I can allocate my budget to the right channel."
"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."
"CleverTap has been really useful for me, and I think I don't need to add anything more."
"Since I started using CleverTap, I have seen some improvements, especially because it has been very efficient and perfect for my organization."
"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization as it helped me to increase my leads volume."
"We have seen clear measurable return on investment after implementing CleverTap, both in terms of revenue impact and operational efficiency."
"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization as we use it to send communications and generate better revenue from targeting users through various channels."
"From my experience, CleverTap is doing exceptional work."
"With the help of CleverTap's decision-making AI, CleverAI, we are able to easily improve our overall customer retention by 25 percent."
"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization because we were able to increase activation metrics like match start and match completion rates by 18 and 29%, respectively, and we saw an increase in our Play Store ratings, but beyond that, we could not continue our initiatives due to the Unity integration issue."
 

Cons

"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."
"Branch can be improved as customer support is not that great, and it takes time to get a response from them."
"To improve Branch, there is an area for improvement in debugging and interruptions."
"One area of improvement I would suggest for CleverTap can be on the user interface; it is not very user-friendly."
"One area where I feel there could be improvement is the ease of use for non-technical teams."
"CleverTap can be improved as their pricing needs to be lower because I think that CleverTap is one of the pricey platforms in the CRM field."
"From a product manager's perspective, CleverTap follows a usage-based and tier pricing model, which is fairly standard for customer engagement platforms, but it comes with both advantages and some complexity."
"CleverTap can be improved by adding some basic functionality to journeys that would allow me to target dynamically previous users who have visited the homepage but have not made a purchase in the last 15 days, as there is currently no way to communicate with them dynamically, only a static base is available."
"I would recommend improving the website loading time because whenever I open the CleverTap website to see my dashboard data, it takes a bit of time."
"In my experience, CleverTap is not stable, at least for Unity."
"I intend to use CleverTap extensively for a campaign, but there are constraints with many features not up to mark or due to broken features."
