Statsig vs. Webtrends Optimize

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.

Webtrends optimize is a marketing solution aimed squarely at transactional and eCom based websites. I would only recommend a colleague to engage with the solution once the marketing dept is at a point where their website is fully optimized in regards to SEO and all the other fundamentals in order to truly build upon what Webtrends can offer. This shows you an easier way of measuring your ROI and the money you will invest with the tool-moving forward.

• The cost is a factor. When you're trying to save money, particularly as a startup (a lot of our clients are up-and-comers) it has to be seen as an investment...but the cost to implement the system is fairly large.
• There's a bit of a steep learning curve, you can't just dive into the program.
• It's not impossible but it's not as easy as snapping your fingers to easily implement the program cross-platform.

Difficulty was getting business units to take the time and spend the money to test, and then implement, best options.

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

Set up of basic tests that do not use segmentation or targeting is an intuitive experience that can be learned quickly by new users. However, as the need for segmentation and other more advanced capabilities arise, the experience begins to degrade.

zero complaints. I'm not aware of it ever failing.

Zero complaints. It seemed to do its job quickly and accurately.

The support from the team at Webtrends Optimize is unparalleled. There is always someone to consult should there be any issues.

Online training was ok. Because every test is a custom test, there's only so much that can be covered in a generic lesson.

Implementation was pretty straightforward

Webtrends Optimize can be used for much more complex tests, allows better conversion tracking and data collection. Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) is suitable for smaller, simple projects. Webtrends Optimize comes with an excellent consultancy that could save you a lot of time and resources

• We uncovered several feature releases that were causing a negative impact on our product activation rate by running exclusion experiments

• So far we haven't seen an ROI that we can accurately measure due to only running a couple of tests that haven't resulted in direct, site wide changes. However, we have learnt a lot about how to set up the right processes and documentation.
