In the first couple of years, I would not expect a return on investment because the initial setup will take more than a year if the process requires significant customization.

Technical Co-Founder at Crankshaft.ai
Amplitude is very scalable, considering that we do not have to do any manual work ourselves.
Data Analyst & Data Protection Officer at WeSalute
Amplitude is quite scalable.
Senior data engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
I recall that when we started using Celonis, we had a space of five terabytes and around one thousand users, and Celonis managed all of that easily.
Senior Business Intelligence Analyst at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
I recommend focusing on recent data or perhaps five years of historical data along with live data for better visibility and stability in the process.
Process Mining Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Consumption-based pricing models would be helpful because scaling can get costly quickly.

Room For Improvement

Users desire improved report setup, visualization, query building, tagging, data retention, support, and feature discovery for enhanced analytics.
Celonis' high cost, complex setup, and integration challenges deter users, who seek improvements in usability, support, and documentation.
Support could be improved. Sometimes I need to create a ticket and communicate with one of their advisors via email.
Data Science Engineer at BebopBee, Inc.
Longer form time series analysis seems nearly impossible to do on this platform.
Data Analyst & Data Protection Officer at WeSalute
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.
Senior Business Analyst at Arcteryx
Ultimately, I need niche expertise, combining strong SAP knowledge with Celonis competency.
Head of Commercial Excellence at Sartorius AG
It is essential for the Celonis solution to have their services and solution models integrated with GenAI.
Senior Development Manager at Lutech
The most important area for improvement is the automation part.
Data Engineer at Baker Hughes
 

Setup Cost

Amplitude's high pricing and complex billing for larger data volumes cause challenges and lengthy negotiations for users.
Celonis pricing is high, especially for scaling enterprises, with costs rising with users and data, but free versions exist.
Pricing is often egregiously high, and the company has changed billing models on us once already.
Data Analyst & Data Protection Officer at WeSalute
We are using a free version and would upgrade to a paid version if it were cheaper.
CEO at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Amplitude's pricing is good and not overpriced; it is fair for the amount of data we are extracting and the analysis we perform.
Senior data engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
I think it's relatively expensive, but it's also good.
Head of Commercial Excellence at Sartorius AG
Based on client feedback, I have heard that the pricing for Celonis is considered high.
Senior Application Developer at Fujitsu
creating a data model for one process will differ in cost if you add more data models for additional processes.

Valuable Features

Amplitude excels in segmentation, cohort analysis, and integration, enhancing data-driven decision-making and user experience optimization.
Celonis offers user-friendly process mining, integration, real-time analytics, and automation tools for optimizing efficiency and identifying savings opportunities.
Based on Amplitude charts and outcomes, our product team takes decisions, so it has improved decision-making.
Data Science Engineer at BebopBee, Inc.
Amplitude has positively impacted my organization as it allows us to make decisions based on data and iterate faster.
CEO at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Collaboration was a significant part. What improves collaboration is the self-serve functionality, which was a big deal for PMs to have access to just that data and also the base layer of how that data is structured, which connects to clicks that every report refers to.
Senior Business Analyst at Arcteryx
Celonis is also beneficial for its built-in apps that streamline tasks from legacy applications, facilitating daily operations and improving efficiency.
Senior Application Developer at Fujitsu
The standout feature of Celonis is definitely the Process Intelligence Graph, which creates a living digital twin across multiple systems and provides the operational context needed for effective AI and automation.
Partner & Managing Director at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
It provides a visualization of the process itself, giving a very good synthesis of performance and helping me find improvements.

Saurav Bhattacharjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Business Analyst at Arcteryx
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.
Prateek Rao - PeerSpot reviewer
Partner & Managing Director at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
Process intelligence has transformed procurement and order cycles and delivers measurable savings
Celonis can improve in several areas. The initial data modeling and continuous real-time ingestion, especially from non-standard legacy systems, can still be complex and quite resource-intensive, requiring a steep PQL learning curve for non-technical users. Simplifying the interface for business stakeholders would significantly accelerate the process. I think introducing a natural language to query interface would allow business users to query data without writing long PQL. Streamlining guided onboarding flows and offering modular plug-and-play dashboard templates tailored to specific roles would shorten ramp-up time for daily users. I think more transparent and predictable consumption-based pricing models would be helpful as data volume scaling can get costly quickly. I would also love to see native, real-time streaming connectors for unstructured data such as emails and support tickets. The learning curve for new users of Celonis is one of the pain points I raised earlier, and I find it to be quite steep.
