Statsig is a feature management with feature flags, pulse, holdouts, from the company of the same name in Bellevue.
The ease of implementation combined with the managed services result in a tool that virtually anyone can use - implementation is less than 10 lines of code added to the relevant pages of the website (we simply added it to our master page template to have it available on any page) and from there the customer can be as involved or not involved as they wish. At BSI we are very hands on with the testing programme - usually developing and designing the tests ourselves and having HP build them, but if we wanted to HP to develop, design and build and limit our role to QA and review that is an option.
This is clearly a platform built around experimentation first, and it shows. In this way Statsig is way ahead of the competition of products I've used previously! It's more data science focussed which makes configuration of new experiments complex with a learning curve.

Because it is a managed service the need for intervention by our internal IT group was removed. This allowed us to control the pace of the testing programme without being influenced by IT resource allocation
The client and technical account managers are very good at suggesting tests or potential improvements
HP regularly holds custom forums which are always informative and provide an opportunity to learn from and network with peers and industry leaders

The dashboard interface is difficult to navigate, but I understand that they are currently developing/testing a new much more user friendly interface
The cost can be a barrier for some organisations, but for us it is worth it. Also they are in the process of releasing a less expensive self authoring testing tool.

We have not only renewed our subscription three years running, but we have added the self authoring tool and are looking to expand the subscription so that we can take advantage of the managed services on a global level.
For the most part it is pretty easy to use. - There are some quirks with the javascript SDK (getExperiment().getValue?). - The Events vs. Metrics design pattern is complex, and creating new Metrics from Events can be frustrating if you are trying to use event metadata - It's really frustrating not to be able to link Static IDs (before a user signs up) to User IDs, in order to follow users all the way through onboarding, or to log events that occur for signed in users when you are exposing the experiment to users before they've signed up

We evaluated Optimost again Adobe's similar offering (Target). The big difference between the two and the reason why BSI choose Autonomy was the managed service aspect. The idea that once the code was deployed on the site IT no longer had to be involved gave my team full ownership of the testing programme. With the Adobe product, the involvement of the internal IT group would have been required to launch each test - and this would have decreased the number of tests we could run each month. Back in the day I also used offermatica/omniture and this too required IT involvement.
