Appsee Mobile App Analytics vs. Oracle Moat Measurement

Appsee was a great choice and addition before their struggle with Apple over user screen recording. Now that that's gone, its insights are rather basic and not worth the price point. This would be a perfect analytics platform for a company looking to increase its user experience, new on-boarding, or going through a redesign to see user activity and reactions, but not anymore.

Moat is well suited to implement into digital placements that are being served through third-party ad servers (Campaign Manager, Flashtalking, etc). It holds your publishers accountable from a viewability standpoint. If you are running high dynamic or site serving placements with 1x1 or click trackers, you aren't able to measure viewability and are at the mercy of publishers providing viewability metrics.

• User session recordings of individual users
• Touch heatmaps and unresponsive gestures

• Breaks down how well each creative has done in a campaign.
• Allows us to see the progress of a campaign through its time live.
• Can easily be organized to pull the data you're looking for.
• Can export into an excel doc to then dig deeper and format and look at data outside of Moat.

• The user screen recording was quickly shut down on Apple devices after about a week of us using Appsee. Now it's just basic boxes which aren't nearly as helpful or insightful in bettering our user experience. If we would have known this would happen, or that Appsee didn't have that feature, we wouldn't have gone with them.
• No integration with Branch (the world's best and probably biggest attribution platform).

• I’ve experienced some issues exporting reports into an Excel doc and have to manually copy and paste data with can be very time-consuming.
• You have to manually wrap video tags with the MOAT pixel which can be a tedious process.
• Video and display are in separate interfaces so you have to export separately and then consolidate into one report.

Appsee set itself apart from competitors with the user screen recording, but since that is no longer a good feature on iOS, it makes Appsee's competitive advantage obsolete. Its data analytics, funnels, and crash reporting are relatively basic or haven't lead to any breakthroughs. I would stay away from Appsee, save your money, and go for a platform like Mixpanel if possible, which has analytics, attribution, and engagement for the same if not cheaper price.

Moat gives our team more insight into how campaigns are running. They give a more detailed breakdown per creative whereas other platforms only touch upon the limited or more specific information.
