What do you like best about Optimizely Web Experimentation?

What I like best about the Optimizely platform is the ease of editing the variations to test in the visual editor. It makes it possible to run tests for those of us who do not have extensive coding knowledge. The support team was also very helpful in providing updates and answers to any questions about setting up experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Web Experimentation?

The downside for our company was that we would run a test that was more complex than the visual editor would allow therefore needing development resources that we did not have available for testing. We felt like we could get low-hanging fruit wins, but were not able to get the big wins without coding. I would also have liked more support from our Customer Success Manager. We have had a couple since joining the platform, and they don't provide much benefit in the meetings. It would be nice to feel like we have an Optimizely expert partner, but a lot of the time I feel as if I understand the platform better than the rep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Optimizely Web Experimentation solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have used Optimizely to run pretty simple A/B experiements. All testing has ideated and been executed by the Product Management team, therefore not having to implement development time to get testing wins. We have seen some pretty dramatic test wins by using this platform. For example, we tested billboard messaging vs. product messaging and got an exciting win that then pivoted our marketing stratgies.

What do you like best about Optimizely Web Experimentation?

It makes it so easy to scale our experimentation program velocity, all while freeing up our engineering team's bandwidth and providing easy to read A/B test results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Web Experimentation?

Sometimes there's a tiny lag between the control and the new variant's design - it's very minor, but can look a little off to users. I don't think it's meaningfully impacted results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Optimizely Web Experimentation solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's solving the need to launch and learn from A/B tests, it helps us set easy redirect tests too (for marketing / landing page tests), and it ensures we have a central place to look at results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flexibility and useful analysis of the adoption of the features that we are planning to have in our solution. We are using the audience to measure the success of the features.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Web Experimentation?

I couldn't find something to hate so far. One thing that could be more easy to understand is why some of the toggles are disabled and how it is possible to enable them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Optimizely Web Experimentation?

Optimizely makes web experimentation easy to implement while remaining extremely powerful if you need it to be. The point-and-click web editor makes setting up quick copy A/B tests easy for even non-technical users to do, while the ability to add custom CSS and Javascript allow you to do just about anything you want. Setting up event/conversion tracking is easy to do. The ability to share links to preview and test individual A/B tests before they're published, as well as being able to share links to the test result pages without needing users to log in makes keeping stakeholders involved in how a test is doing easy. When I moved to a new company, I advocated for the acquisition of Optimizely for A/B testing right away. The choice was simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Web Experimentation?

I really don't have many dislikes of Optimizely's product. It has never failed me, and I have not run into any major technical issues that have limited me from running a test. However, I will say that their offering is not the cheapest. I really do think the saying, "You get what you pay for" comes into play here. Optimizely shines compared to the alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Optimizely Web Experimentation:

If you have basic needs, Optimizely might be overkill for you, especially given the price point. However, if you want to run a lot of tests, track a lot of different metrics, with an easy to use editor that just about anyone can use, get a demo of Optimizely. Your web development team will love it too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Optimizely Web Experimentation solving and how is that benefiting you?

Optimizely makes it dead simple to know if something is working or not on our website. Instead of doing a pre-post analysis for every change we make, we can run everything, big or small, as a test and make decisions with confidence. This means we can increase conversion rates faster since we can know quickly if a change we've made isn't performing as well as we hoped, or vice versa. This leads to higher conversion rates, faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Optimizely Web Experimentation?

I love being able to test concepts without needing to utilize developer resources every time. The reusable extensions are very useful and easy to customize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Web Experimentation?

I don't like that our website's analytics are not able to be directly pulled into our experiments for easy reporting. The product is also very resource-heavy on our site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Optimizely Web Experimentation:

This is a great tool if you have the budget and team to support it. Packed full of helpful features to personalize an experience and there is lots of experimentation training and resources available online to help get you started. There are some areas of the application that can be a little buggy or confusing sometimes which can be frustrating, but overall the application works well and outages are resolved quickly. The QA tools within the application are limited and don't give you much in terms of helping you debug what's happening. I recommend having a detailed QA checklist to make sure the experiment is working as expected, it's easy to overlook the importance until the results start coming back wonky and you have wasted precious time and potentially lost sales due to an incorrect test setup. Another thing to keep in mind is that optimizely web tracking/targeting is based on browser cookies which are becomming less and less reliable with major browsers clearing cookies daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Optimizely Web Experimentation solving and how is that benefiting you?

Utilizing optimizely has helped us to test out new concepts that challenge established business practices and shift to a more customer-focused and data-driven strategy to make our conversion funnel for subscribers far more effective. Utilizing optimizely personalization campaigns and a/b tests has helped us de-risk changes in our paywall enforcement leading to increased conversion rates, increased page views and increased subscription purchases. The success of experimentation on our paywall has also led to increased leadership support for an experiment-first mentality, where any new feature we add to the site is being considered as an experiment to validate its effectiveness and iterate based on learnings.

Optimizely Web is very powerful, however, the learning curve can be slightly challenging in comparison to other simple experimentation tools.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Web Experimentation?

You must publish your experiment before being able to have the experiment run on every page concurrently. While you can do this behind a testing cookie, it is still not ideal for multipage testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
