    Optimizely
    It is well suited for heavy-duty A/B testing where management would like to see and quantitatively determine the effect of a change. It is not so efficient to try for a single page simple form, except when the form is part of a larger workflow. The security model is not very well understood, including RBAC and protection against injection attacks.

    • Can use better interface for managing test, including scheduling and notification.
    • Feels too heavy for simple projects, though this isn't a factor once past the PoC stage.
    • Notification on various aspects can be made more powerful and granular if such a need arise.

    We have choosen OpenText WEM against other vendors because : 1. Helped client reinforce brand image
    through unique design language and templatization of collaterals, consistent
    messaging, and regular competitor benchmarking. 2. Enables lead generation through
    high-quality gated collateral, product videos, etc. 3. Senior management and sales lead meet
    client regularly for project review meetings and feedback on engagement

    There is a big difference between the two: Google Optimize uses Bayesian analysis while Optimizely uses Frequenting. There is a risk of counting multiple visits. Google Optimize data isn't available instantly (if I remember correctly). Optimizely's analyses dashboard is a lot richer and offers a better experience, though it may get intimidating.

    • Almost immediate payoff in terms of the benefit.
    • Easy to justify the TTM benefits to upper management.
    • Still somewhat hard to justify ROI, though this is not my expertise.
