ConvertFlow vs. Webtrends Optimize

I'd say just about every marketing application can benefit from ConvertFlow's features and flexibility. Some step-by-step logic form builders limit what you can have on each step, ConvertFlow leaves that totally up to you which is a huge plus. If you use Keap as your CRM, it is especially helpful as not all systems have a direct connection like this does. If there's an area it may be less suited than other specific tools, I'd say maybe survey forms. You certainly CAN build them, but there are other tools for that which create an easier experience building and for the user.

Webtrends optimize is a marketing solution aimed squarely at transactional and eCom based websites. I would only recommend a colleague to engage with the solution once the marketing dept is at a point where their website is fully optimized in regards to SEO and all the other fundamentals in order to truly build upon what Webtrends can offer. This shows you an easier way of measuring your ROI and the money you will invest with the tool-moving forward.

• Intuitive test set-up makes for a low learning curve.
• Ability to create custom data tables which enable exporting of visitor level data for more in-depth analysis outside of the Webtrends Optimize platform.
• Visual Editor WYSIWYG interface enables non-technical users to easily execute basic tests.

• lead source from Google - can't tell paid vs organic
• Some custom fields in forms require duplicating or re-setting up across forms - could used custom saved questions library
• From landing pages, opening a pop-up requires building a pop-up outside the page. this is good when multiple pages use the same pop-up but in other cases can be time-consuming to exit the page, build, then go back and finish the page. small detail really but worth knowing about
• you can set up custom URLs, but so far no option to integrate, for instance, into WordPress and give a landing page your actual URL. So instead of "domain.com/page" you have to use "go.domain.com/page" or something like that. would be nice to keep it within my URL in some cases.

• The cost is a factor. When you're trying to save money, particularly as a startup (a lot of our clients are up-and-comers) it has to be seen as an investment...but the cost to implement the system is fairly large.
• There's a bit of a steep learning curve, you can't just dive into the program.
• It's not impossible but it's not as easy as snapping your fingers to easily implement the program cross-platform.

Difficulty was getting business units to take the time and spend the money to test, and then implement, best options.

Set up of basic tests that do not use segmentation or targeting is an intuitive experience that can be learned quickly by new users. However, as the need for segmentation and other more advanced capabilities arise, the experience begins to degrade.

zero complaints. I'm not aware of it ever failing.

Zero complaints. It seemed to do its job quickly and accurately.

The support from the team at Webtrends Optimize is unparalleled. There is always someone to consult should there be any issues.

Online training was ok. Because every test is a custom test, there's only so much that can be covered in a generic lesson.

Implementation was pretty straightforward

All of these I used for different, specific purposes. ConvertFlow accomplishes ALL of those purposes and does them well. There might be an area or two where others excel, but you end up needing more than one tool to accomplish the same results as ConvertFlow can do in one tool.

Webtrends Optimize can be used for much more complex tests, allows better conversion tracking and data collection. Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) is suitable for smaller, simple projects. Webtrends Optimize comes with an excellent consultancy that could save you a lot of time and resources

• Saves my team a TON of time. we've used form tools before that generated results but took a whole afternoon to properly set up. My team can set up new forms or a/b test designs in minutes.
• Signup optimization is now attainable for many team members. Even my designers can easily test their own work, you don't have to have a deep data analysis to see what's working

• So far we haven't seen an ROI that we can accurately measure due to only running a couple of tests that haven't resulted in direct, site wide changes. However, we have learnt a lot about how to set up the right processes and documentation.
