AppsFlyer
Appsflyer is excellent for running numerous campaigns across many clients and keeping track of real-time performance. Attribution is top-notch and the platform is up to date with the innovations in the area while keeping its effective & trustworthy information. Exporting reports could be a bit more friendly but all in all, a truly great MMP.

This is a key tool when working between clients & their advertising. We provide amazing value when these reports are set up properly (tagging, sound analysis, & QA'ing the data). It isn't a report we would trust to send directly to clients, as we need to do frequent data cleansing.

Pros
AppsFlyer
  • Appsflyer does deep linking well. It was reliable and works better than any past partner we've used. We no longer invest time and resources in fielding internal flags about broken links.
  • Appsflyer does particularly well at telling the story on industry landscape, identifying areas of opportunity for our brand to grow based on the depth and breadth of their experience in mobile.
  • The Appsflyer team offers best in class customer service. The account managers are knowledgeable, responsive, bright, invested and a pleasure to work with.

Support Rating
AppsFlyer
Overall support is good, fast to respond and helps us with both tool related queries as well as publisher related escalations when it comes to fraud or attribution, as they step in and help justify on our behalf. They have a very small team though in India, it's time for them to scale up the team probably and assign exclusive support folks to large clients.

Adjust is the best, followed by AppsFlyer. The rest are a joke and should be ashamed of themselves for putting out products that don't give marketers the insights they need to facilitate growth or identify fraud.

Better reporting options and integration with our website AdRoll is great to create campaigns but i like the reporting that Google provides and the ability to add users to our account so different depts can see the data and reporting AdRoll is starting to do more reporting related to attribution though, which is good

Return on Investment
AppsFlyer
  • Allowed us to measure ROI correctly. We couldn't before.
  • Cut our Facebook ad and Google Adwords costs per install almost in half.
  • Added a few extra cents to each install, but it's worth it when looking at the optimization of the ads.

  • It's not necessarily providing ROI directly, but it's providing insight into how to identify ROI from advertising efforts.
