    Google
    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

    ObservePoint is a great tool for automating page testing and standardizing campaigns to observe accurate customer insights. You can identify customer mapping journey. They also help in data protection and insights which are very important and essential these days. They should work more on easy interface designs. Overall, it is the best.

    Pros
    Google
    • 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.

    • The UI for ObservePoint is intuitive and robust. This makes training new engineers and using the product easy and productive.
    • All Audit exports are formatted as tab delimited text files making the data easy to analyze and manipulate in a Spreadsheet or database.
    • The list of tag vendors that are discoverable is comprehensive making it easy to interrogate most any tagging implementation.
    • Standard reporting within the UI is robust and easy to consume.

    Cons

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

    ObservePoint
    • Page details, although interesting, are not very useful as the data is too granular and not possible to integrate with other analytics data for insights.
    • Some of the custom tagging may be a little complicated, so sometimes we need an engineer or an ObservePoint tech to help us out.

    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.

    Return on Investment

    • 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.

    • ObservePoint has helped us quickly (within minutes) catch when a process or pathing on the website breaks, which allows us to fix it quickly. Whether technical/dev or analytics issues, without ObservePoint, they could have been undetected for weeks.
