Optimizely Feature Experimentation works really well for setting up feature flags with an easy UI for turning them on and off or ramping up a gradual rollout. It also works really well to set up split tests where you can split your traffic by percentage as well as almost any custom data attribute you wish to define. This is more for robust features and less for visual changes - Optimzely Edge or Web are better suited for that.

If you are writing apis and you make a logic change for eg change format of a number from showing no decimal points to 2 decimal points, and screen of your older version of ui app does not have enough space on screen which makes the ux break, instead of releasing a new version of the api you can toggle off the feature for app versions lower than the one being targetted so that api keeps responding with zero decimal points for older app and with decimal points for the newer version of the app

Pros
Optimizely
  • Its ability to run A/B tests and multivariate experiments simultaneously allows us to identify the best-performing options quickly.
  • Optimizely blends into our analytics tools, giving us immediate feedback on how our experiments are performing. This tool helps us avoid interruptions. With this pairing, we can arrive at informed decisions quickly.
  • Additionally, feature toggles enable us to introduce new features or modifications to specific user groups, guaranteeing a smooth and controlled user experience. This tool helps us avoid interruptions.

Cons
Optimizely
  • Splitting feature flags from actual experiments is slightly clunky and can be done either as part of the same page or better still you can create a flag on the spot while starting an experiment and not always needing to start with a flag.
  • Recommending metrics to track based on description using AI

All features that we used were pretty clear. They have a good documentation

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

Optimizely Feature Experimentation is better for building more complex experiments than Optimizely Web. However, Optimizely Web is much easier to kickstart your experimentation program with as the learning curve is much lower, and dedicated developer resources are not always necessary (marketers can build experiments quickly with Optimizely Web without developers' help).

Return on Investment
Optimizely
  • Experimentation is key to figuring out the impact of changes made on-site.
  • Experimentation is very helpful with pricing tests and other backend tests.
  • Before running an experiment, many factors need to be evaluated, such as conflicting experiments, audience, user profile service, etc. This requires a considerable amount of time.

Optimizely Feature Experimentation Screenshots

Screenshot of AI Variable suggestions: AI helps to develop higher quality experiments. Optimizely’s Opal suggests content variations in experiments, and helps to increase test velocity  and improve experiment qualityScreenshot of Integrations: display of the available integrations in-app.Screenshot of Reporting used to share insights, quantify experimentation program performance using KPIs like velocity and conclusive rate across experimentation projects, and to drill down into the charts and figures to see an aggregate list of experiments. Results can be exported into a CSV or Excel file, and KPIs can be segmented using project filters, experiment type filters, and date rangesScreenshot of Collaboration: Centralizes tracking tasks in the design, build, and launch of an experiment to ensure experiments are launched on time . Includes calendar, timeline, and board views in customizable views that can be saved to share with other stakeholdersScreenshot of Scheduling: Users can schedule a Flag or Rule to toggle on/off,  traffic allocation percentages, and achieve faster experimentation velocity and smoother progressive rolloutsScreenshot of Metrics filtering: Dynamic event properties to filter through events. Dynamic events provide better insights for experimenters who can explore metrics in depth for more impactful decisions

Unleash Screenshots

Screenshot of Overview of all feature togglesScreenshot of The Unleash architecture is designed with performance, resilience, privacy, and extensibility in mind. The Unleash Client SDK polls the Unleash API at regular intervals and caches all feature toggles locally. The interval is configurable from the client-side.Screenshot of Overview of all feature toggles across all environmentsScreenshot of The enhanced list of users helps track account activity. It can display and sort by when an account is last logged in, to find inactive accounts.Screenshot of Custom context fields extend the Unleash Context with more data that is applicable to any situation. Each context field definition consists of a name and an optional description. Additionally, a set of legal values can be defined, or whether or not the context field can be used in custom stickiness calculations can be selected, for the gradual rollout strategy and for feature toggle variants.Screenshot of API tokens can be used to connect to the Unleash server API.
