    Depending on the user segment created, it allows us for example to use the recommendation engine pop-up feature among other alternatives, it can also take effective action for media sites, such as in-site migration promotion and member registration/campaign recommendation. According to the user access record measured by Cxense tag measurement.

    Optimizely Data Platform is a great tool for teams who look to use open-source tools over tools with white glove service. You do get a dedicated customer success manager and access to their (almost) 24/7 support team via chat, but the real benefits of the platform stand to be unlocked by teams who enjoy getting their hands dirty.

    • Automation of data from other platforms such as our ERP.
    • The approval process needs work. I should be able to flag fields that have issues and give users feedback if a product is rejected.

    There's so much that needs to be improved and it seems like not much has happened since Optimizely first took over. When Optimizely did take over, they reduced the UX of campaign reporting.

    • Creating reports can be difficult and they aren't very visual.
    • There is not much control you can have with your imported product catalog. Product filters can be difficult to use.
    • Manually importing customers is a more difficult process from when I was using Mailchimp 10 years ago.
    • Figuring out how to inject a module onto a page is difficult.
    • Figuring out how to get off an email blacklist is near impossible even with ip warming. Very little help here.

    We have a home built CRM. From start to finish our implementation was a nightmare loaded with problems that destroyed my initial trust with the platform.

    Return on Investment
    Piano Software
    • With the recommendation engine feature, we were able to improve the way related articles are displayed at the end of articles on media sites.
    • The CTR increased from 4-5% to 5-6%, and since it was originally a large-scale site, even a 1% improvement resulted in a large increase in PV.
    • In some cases, the pop-up feature was able to increase the number of members acquired through the campaign by approximately 15% compared to the previous campaign.
