Google Optimize vs. LiftIgniter Real-time Personalization Platform

It is a little too limited for a full stack experimentation programme. Many times we required development support or tech advise but we were simply unable to get this due to it being google. This was a big problem for us. However it is quite good if you were looking to get started in experimentation and didn’t have the budgets for a wider tool

LiftIgniter is well suited for:

• Media companies without the resources to develop their own content recommendations systems.
• eCommerce companies who want to get product recommendations live onsite quickly.

LiftIgniter is less appropriate:

• Organizations with a shallow content set onsite.

• Easy to follow set up procedures. Once I walk a client through the process, it's effortless for them to emulate on subsequent tests.
• Lots of geo and user attribute customization features to be able to drill down into specific targeted audiences — all based on the power of Google's immense data system.
• Google Optimize is the logical choice for many people to start with since most are already familiar with and using GA.

• It does a good job recommending content that is related to the current story a user is on.
• It does a good job not recommending content the user has already viewed.
• It does a good job being a recommendation engine for disparate sites with related content.

• Only works for browsers, not for the apps testing.
• Missing possibility to test complicated features.
• Audience division in groups is not always accurate.

• The LI Dashboard has limited features.

Google has always been known to make easy-to-use products. The Google Optimize interface is intuitive and easy to follow for anyone.

Google Optimize being part of the Google stack makes it great in reporting and analysis. Wish Google would add more features like dynamic tests, multi funnel tests, conversion calculator based on the total number of traffic of the page being tested instead of using the websites total traffic. Should integrate form analysis, heatmap, and page analytics.

It's the best. Our only other option was rolling out our own and LiftIgniter was easier to implement and performed better for related content.

• We were able to increase our main KPI for conversions by almost 50% by testing button copy.
• We were able to increase secondary KPIs for conversions by almost 30% by testing form design.
