    We can organize all our content easily by uploading content files and other digital assets. CMS smart AI generates metadata by tagging them automatically which helps us to sort our content into different categories. CMS content modeling feature helps us to visualize our content structure, assemble them in an intelligent manner and reuse the content whenever we want to for different purposes.

    Optimizely
    It is well suited for heavy-duty A/B testing where management would like to see and quantitatively determine the effect of a change. It is not so efficient to try for a single page simple form, except when the form is part of a larger workflow. The security model is not very well understood, including RBAC and protection against injection attacks.

    Cons
    Acoustic
    • The organization of the application is poor and some elements could be more easily accessible not buried in menus.
    • There is little to no community around the application and what does exist is out of date.
    • Does not work well with our IBM applications as well as you would expect, which seems a common issue with IBM products.

    Optimizely
    • Can use better interface for managing test, including scheduling and notification.
    • Feels too heavy for simple projects, though this isn't a factor once past the PoC stage.
    • Notification on various aspects can be made more powerful and granular if such a need arise.

    There is a big difference between the two: Google Optimize uses Bayesian analysis while Optimizely uses Frequenting. There is a risk of counting multiple visits. Google Optimize data isn't available instantly (if I remember correctly). Optimizely's analyses dashboard is a lot richer and offers a better experience, though it may get intimidating.

    • Almost immediate payoff in terms of the benefit.
    • Easy to justify the TTM benefits to upper management.
    • Still somewhat hard to justify ROI, though this is not my expertise.
