Optimizely
It's a great to test the customer behavior on new user interfaces and beta features. For example, before we invest a lot of money to develop a new capability or feature of the application, we want to create a quick proof-of-concept application. After the experiment, the business can a go or no-go decision.

SiteSpect is great for businesses with available development resources and a need to provide flicker-free performance. Additionally, the month-to-month service model is attractive considering the contract and implementation prices of most of the tool's competitors. If an organization wants to run a lot of tests with a small team of marketers, I wouldn't recommend a tool as complex as SiteSpect. Effective use of the tool requires a lot of technical skill.

Cons
Optimizely
  • Extremely confusing, complicated, and unintuitive webapp. It's hard to figure out if a feature flag is active and what it will evaluate to for a given user, organization, or audience. The app has many different toggles for enabling, disabling, and targeting a flag, and they don't follow a consistent design.
  • Slow and buggy login process
  • Difficult to use human-readable aliases for user IDs and organization IDs when defining audiences. We maintain spreadsheets to understand our Optimizely configurations

  • SiteSpect recently came out with a feature to test and optimize mobile applications. I have not used this, but it fills an important capability gap with the product I was using at the time.

It’s straightforward. Docs are well written and I believe there must be a support. But we haven’t used it

We used Firebase remote config as well to try to test different behaviorus on the same screen, using boolean flags to determine which one to show, but it was too cumbersone and difficult so we pivoted to only use optimizely as it was much better suited for that,

I have used all the tools in the market. Sitespect kicks them into the curb based on how easy it is to build variations, and hot it doesnt interfere with client load.
