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.

Pendo.io is very well suited for organizations, who want to quickly connect with Customers without even directly talking to them. Pendo.io allows in-app guides and documentation to help organizations connect with their customers and guide them in their product. The feature tracking capability is the best to understand the page/feature usage also by segment to categorize and understand user behavior. Replays are somewhat helpful but still can have improvements. Less appropriate where the customer base is less.

Pros
  • 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.

  • The guide builder UI could be a bit more user-friendly; it's hard to remember where the different options are at first and takes some practice.
  • Interpreting user paths visually can be tricky at times, especially when trying to understand where drop-offs or blockers occur.
  • More granular user permissions so that I don't need to grant full admin rights to a user if I want to let them edit translations on a guide, for example.

AppsFlyer works well with our use cases already, and is working on addressing the gaps (of trackers UI)

We have had an excellent experience with Pendo. When we've had questions or concerns, Pendo is very quick to respond and communicate with us. We have experienced top-notch customer support and customer engagement. We have actually modeled some of our implementation and product processes after Pendo's examples.

Usability
The UI can be used by anyone with a little understanding of the business. However, may features are somehow hidden and the UI is a bit confusing for beginners. It's not so easy to know where each feature is. It is also not easy to figure out how certain values are calculated.

It is intuitive for core tasks like tracking feature usage, building Guides, and viewing dashboards. The interface is clean and well structured, making it easy for product managers and operational teams to get value quickly without heavy technical support. However, there is a noticeable learning curve when setting up advanced custom events, reports, or integrations, which can take some time and internal knowledge-sharing to master.

Support Rating
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.

They've been great anytime that we have needed help with something. They also have some really great help articles. We're able to figure most things out through their articles, but when we've had to call in they've been very helpful and we haven't had any problems. I'd highly recommend working with them.

Alternatives Considered
Appsflyer is generally a more comprehensive and robust platform offering advanced analytics, detailed attribution, and strong fraud prevention features compared to its competition in the market. Also, Appsflyer is a pretty old and well-known name in the market.

Pendo.io excels at creating guides. The editor experience is precisely what anyone working with a DAP tool desires – unobstructed and focused on a single screen. Pendo.io boasts AI features, and the customization options exceed expectations. When we became more familiar with the product, we questioned why we hadn't considered it sooner. Pendo.io has simplified analytics, making them as straightforward as bread and butter. The number of widgets available for data representation in the dashboard is astounding. Furthermore, Pendo.io offers a wealth of features, including feature tagging, webpage tagging, Pendo Listen, NPS surveys, a resource center, and more. I used WalkMe for three years and encountered challenges achieving the desired flow for customer onboarding, which sometimes proved difficult. In contrast, Pendo.io makes everything achievable thanks to its ability to incorporate custom code into guide creations.
