Empowers teams to build visualization-rich reports and make faster decisions using historical user behavior data
I think areas for Amplitude's improvement include data retention. The maximum data I have worked with, the clickstream data on Amplitude, is two years, whereas we rely on Tableau for historical data of at least two years. I am not sure whether it was my organization paying for lower retention or not, but having historical data would take away the reliance on Tableau. Secondly, reconciling clickstream data with Databricks or other AWS systems could help analysts spend less time verifying the accuracy of both sources, which would be really helpful. Lastly, a more focused approach on error logs is necessary. I have found that, at least with Intuit, we used Splunk more for error logs than Amplitude. Although Amplitude had the capability, developers seemed to prefer Splunk, so if that could be improved, it would be good.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I loved using Amplitude because it allowed me to dive deep into product usage and analyze different customer segments."

"Branch has positively impacted our organization by bringing huge changes regarding referrals; users come to our apps, and we have increased our user base."
 

Cons

"I give it a nine because it is close to a perfect ten for me, but it is only useful in one layer of the project, not the other, which the tool is supposed to do."
"I choose nine because, lately, when I was using it, the more people wanted to improve, the more complex things got—not in a good way, but confusing."
"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"The free features in Amplitude Analytics need enhancement."
"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"Amplitude could be improved by being cheaper."
"Amplitude is almost perfect, but there are some charts I cannot create due to the large data structure."
"I think areas for Amplitude's improvement include data retention. The maximum data I have worked with, the clickstream data on Amplitude, is two years, whereas we rely on Tableau for historical data of at least two years."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a little on the higher end, especially when considering scalability."
