AB Tasty vs. Optimizely Feature Experimentation

A/B Tasty tool allows us do easy testing without burdening our limited developer resources all the time. Reports are simple enough to interpret. Support has been excellent and proactive, also the onboarding was successful. It is also an advantage that we have the possibility to drive all our traffic to the test versions rather than being limited to specific user amount per month. We can recommend A/B Tasty for testing purposes, as the platform keeps it’s promises, doesn’t require too much technical knowledge and the support is excellent.

Its UI is self-service, easy to manage. The documentation is good enough. I liked the Code mode for the Optimizely Feature Experimentation.

• Customer-focused. Over the past year, AB Tasty has worked with us to overcome many obstacles (e.g. tracking hurdles, ITP issues, etc.). The team always finds a solution in a timely manner to ensure we're able to execute on experiments.
• Reliability. One of the biggest hurdles earlier this year were the ITP regulations set out by Apple. Over 40% of our ad traffic was Safari users. AB Tasty was using 3rd party cookies but quickly migrated over to a local session storage solution that circumvented the issue.

• Sometimes the platform is a little glitchy and requires a refresh.
• Would be great to be able to see the experiments and projects on a timeline with their status and main result to have an immediate view of ongoing and completed projects.
• Email notification for when an experiment reaches a certain confidence level.

• Initially training of program
• Ability to customize certain aspects of the website were limited

AB Tasty's tool as well as the support team completely met my goals on A/B Testing. Editing a test is really easy and AB Tasty made the marketing team free to launch nearly any test. Reporting is also easy to set up and give us the information needed to keep improving transformation on landing pages and forms

All features that we used were pretty clear. They have a good documentation

Support is good, but it would be better if it was quicker or if AB Tasty provided a quicker SLA. At times, you require stuff urgently but AB Tasty support isn't as quick as I personally like it to be.

It’s straightforward. Docs are well written and I believe there must be a support. But we haven’t used it

We selected AB Tasty mostly because we got a sense that their dev and customer service teams were going to go above and beyond to help us out. We were right! The cost was also a factor as they came in a small bit lower, but cost wasn't the only factor.

Optimizely is the first product I have used in this category. I have no comments for alternative products.

• Since we use AB tasty our conversion rates have significantly increased on the Watch pages.
• We can report positive comments about the evolutions of our interfaces, from our expert users. And so improved customer satisfaction.
• The solution allows us to validate or invalidate without taking major risk while gaining in reactivity, our proposals relook pages.
• Commitment rates are much higher, multiplied by 2 or 3, when we implement customizations that are relevant. These customizations are very relevant insofar as we are governed by the seasonality of events as a media site.

• Higher click through rates on primary buttons
• More engagement in key sections of the website
• Ability to base development efforts on proven tests vs blinding developing new tools or functionality
