    Here's why I wholeheartedly recommend Experro to any Ecommerce/Retail business AI- Powered Search: Experro takes the guesswork out of online shopping. It corrects typos and suggests the most common and popular search words for my customers type. This ensured that my customer found what they want faster, eliminating frustration and streamlining the shopping journey. Continuous Learning for Unmatched Personalization: Experro is not static; it's constantly learning from customers' interactions. With each search, click, and purchase, Experro fine-tuned its recommendations to match my customers' preferences and intent. My shoppers now feel like I have tailored the entire shopping experience just for them. Segment-Based Results: Not all customers are the same, and Experro understands this. It can re-rank products or provide entirely different search results for the same query based on customer segments like geography or demographics. This means results are more personalized and optimized for higher conversions. In conclusion, Experro is a game-changer in the world of Ecommerce. It doesn't just provide a platform for shoppers; it provides an experience. With its real-time learning, segment-based results, and actionable insights, Experro helped me to stand out in the competitive online marketplace. If you want to offer your customers a shopping experience like no other, I strongly recommend giving Experro a try.

    If you want to build a website quickly there are plenty of ways to do so with some great examples and plenty of support both from the company and in the forums. if you want to build a more complex structure you can but be ready to spend the time to build exactly what you need as a solid foundation goes a massive way before building out content and making those choices early and sticking with them helps

    Pros
    Experro
    • The ability of Experro CMS to update content quickly and independently is a significant advantage. Whether it's a feature launch or new promotional content, we’re ready to go live in no time!
    • The platform offers an intuitive and user-friendly editing experience, making it accessible to individuals of all skill levels.

    • I think the user interface for content admins is very good and very competitive. And compared to other providers, the technology that CMS in particular has. So the way it integrated the net ecosystem is very well because it follows the MBC pattern. So basically it just allows really simple implementations for what would normally be complex components on any other sort of vendor that's out there.

    Cons
    Experro
    • There are endless possibilities that you can configure with Experro, but it would be good to have hands-on tutorials tailored to specific use cases.

    • Magento did have some nice tools for creating product groups or carousels for promotion. Opti seems to be lacking in that.
    • A blog - maybe this is available and we don't have it installed, but a searchable blog would be very appreciated.
    • Structured Data/MicroData - maybe it's our install, but this seems to be missing
    • Meta data: we have access to limited types and need to make a request from IT, it would be nice to be able to access more to adjust for SEO needs.
    • When in a folder on the BLOCKS tab, it would be wonderful to hit the MEDIA tab and stay in that same folder.
    • I have some less technical people that will make folders with spaces - which Opti handles, but it would be great if it wouldn't accept a space or gave an error message not to use them.
    • I think I know why the extra code is added to urls and image links, but it causes issues when taking things from our testing site to the live site. For example, I need to copy the Navigation from Inspect Element on testing to put it in production. I have learned to work around it, but it's not my favorite.

    Since I work on the implementation side of things, and do not directly own licensing for Ektron CMS, I have to base this rating off of how I think it will be received or presented to customers looking to start a new site deployment. I try to remain CMS agnostic, though my specialty is with the .NET and Microsoft stack. Because of the experience I have working with Ektron, I tend to be more forgiving with the shortcomings as I am familiar with how to work around them or past them from experience. Being familiar with the community available also helps, as you become familiar with the best approaches to find solutions to your issues. Each product has it's ups and downs and all of them are only going to be as good as the company or development team implementing them can make them. This is EXTREMELY important to remember when choosing a CMS, as it can make or break your expensive investment.

    We had contacted the support team to solve our doubts about the theme integration. The team was quick. Apparently they are available 24x5, it is pretty much enough to cover all our needs in the real-time.

    I attended multiple trainings/tutorials early in the process. The vendor-supplied content about Optimizely was engaging for users/attendees (I often analyze training content, compliance programs, governance plans), which helps our OCM people by having good "word of mouth" about the product long before a rollout ever happens. I actually when the user-focused portion of the Optimizely Academy twice in 2022 to ensure I had a grasp on operability and to be able to support the training and OCM efforts

    Ektron is one of the best solution for .Net platform. Over the years have improved the performance issues that the previous versions had. My only complain is right now you can't do Page builder pages if you choose to have a MVC architecture

    In my opinion, setting up Experro is much easier compare to Bloomreach and we also didn't have to integrate with whole lot of tools to get the end results. Also, Experro is DXP with a combination of multiple tools like Headless CMS, Search, Merchandising, etc. giving us all the tools at a single place to play around without spending on integrations.

    Optimizely Content Management System is much more feature rich, and less complex that the other CMS platforms we have used. Optimizely Content Management System is more intuitive in how the content is structured and how easy it is to pull blocks of content to create the layout of a page.
