Review of Adobe T&T

We used Adobe Test and Target for marketing activity. For different types of offers for geographically divided customers we addressed using Adobe Test and Target. It was used by our Information Technology department. We had a marketing team who wanted to maximize business and provide offers and special coupons to their customers. For this requirement we used Adobe Test and Target.
  • A/B testing
  • Rules-based targeting
  • Recommendations and cross-selling
  • Search-driven merchandising
  • Automated behavioral targeting and Multivariate testing
  • Need to make it more user friendly.
It needs to improve for the healthcare and technology services domain.
  • It is an expensive tool so sometimes if it is not useful to attract customers then it is expensive for a company budget. So you need to minimize license fees for small and start up businesses.
  • Maxymiser,Monetate,Optimizely
License fees and maintenance are the main factors.
Yes
Because it provides rich features for analytics and marketing of product and services.
No
During my engagement for Adobe T&T product with Adobe guys , they were providing better details to properly fit product to get maximum use.

The Web Analytics team are the power users of Test& Target - we're running tests for the entire company across the main website and inside our desktop applications.
  • Advanced targeting capabilities - TnT allows you to write your own JavaScript/Rhino code in situations when the out-of-the-box features aren't enough.
  • Integration with SiteCatalyst - test data is pushed into SiteCatalyst for comprehensive reporting.
  • Rapid test creation - this can be achieved via "local" HTML offers, redirects or referencing AEM/CQ5 components.
  • Documentation - the current docs are fine for the basics but when you want to do the advanced stuff it sucks and Client Care aren't that helpful with the tricky questions.
  • Standard - the new 'Standard' WYSIWYG version of TnT is very new so I'll be kind however it's full of bugs and unusable - hopefully this will be fixed soon as it looks to have a lot of potential.
  • QAing your tests - the Onsite feature has never worked properly in all the time I have used it. I've been told by people at Adobe not to use the feature.
It's a very flexible tool with some great features however you'll need to have users that understand your business but are also technically savvy. If you don't have the right people/person then you may want to consider something easier to use ..saying that I believe the Standard version that was recently released has tried to address this however it's a beta product right now with more than a few issues.
  • Increased employee efficiency - testing happens very quickly now, sometimes in minutes! Before it took weeks or months going through Technology.
  • More testing means increased learnings and revenue.

The web analytics & optimization team have a mixture of business and technical understanding.

You'll need to be comfortable editing HTML and the more complicated tests will involve JavaScript.
  • Testing new creative for driving incremental revenue.
  • Testing price.
  • Testing headlines, CTA, copy in general.
We have a team of people trained on how to use the application and it integrates well with the other Adobe products we use. Our future roadmap of testing will require some complex scenarios which we hope Target will be able to accomplish.
No
A good level of support should be included with the price, moreover if the documentation and communities were better we wouldn't need to bug Client Care!
Room for improvement.

  • Great for pushing content quickly to site and tracking success metrics.
  • Ease of use for marketers, but ability to become more complex for technical web development.
  • Needs to be integrated with Adobe Marketing Suite, primarily SiteCatalyst. Does not even integrate well with the suite even though it is from the same product line.
  • Can get very confusing and detailed. Need to spend a good bit of time training on it.
  • Adobe recommends mBoxes around each area you want to test. This is not needed, save your time and money and place a global mBox on the page and run tests with some basic JavaScript and jQuery.
Try not to let your company begin using it as a CMS. Will start drifting that way with the ease of use but will only cause problems in the long term over what actually works.
  • Increased bookings.
  • Increased Conversions Rates.
  • Ability to implement personalization models.
  • Integrate with 3rd party solutions such as Jira, Qlikview, etc. but took good bit of development to do.
  • Used primarily for A/B and Multivariate testing. Then used as a very agile CMS to get content pushed to site without backend changes to the page structure.
  • Used as a CMS due to ability to quickly launch new creatives & copy
  • Personalized offers based on incoming variables
  • Temporary bug fixes till proper fix deployment
Overall good product but very expensive.
No
None before.
  • Vendor implemented
  • Implemented in-house
Implement using a global mBox on the page so you can change any and everything over the traditional method. Traditional method is good if you do not have technical web dev resources, do not know Javascript/jQuery, or you have money to blow on mBox calls.

Global deployment reduces mBox calls and allows you to touch many parts of the page easily. A lot more customizable.
  • Online training
  • In-person training
  • Self-taught
Consultants understand how to use the product and business approach but not how it works technically and how to improve the technical implementation. Their rockstar technical consultant left.
Online training was average. More videos would help and help sections integrated into the interface would be best over navigating to help section away from work.
It was easy but helpful to have the learning manual. I recommend learning from an expert.
Yes
Needed it for a multi-billion dollar enterprise to ensure everything ran smoothly and any problems were corrected ASAP.
They have some idea of how to debug problems, but much of the time was spent on understanding hierarchical structure of the support team because escalation often slow.

Adobe T&T

  • It tracks and monitors visitors, conversion and dozens of site metrics. T&T allows us to present several different experiences to consumers while monitoring the success of each change.
  • It does not always work with other software platforms such as Demandware.
  • T&T has increased revenue for my company by helping identify areas our site can improve. We have generated an additional $10 million plus in revenue.
We will renew. For web testing T&T is the best product out there.
If you are interested in doing web testing for any small, medium, or large organization T&T is the only software program you should should consider.

  • We use T&T to do A/B testing across a variety of different websites.
  • Professional services company
Was implemented at our organization before I began working with it.
  • In-person training
3 day in-person training.
We needed some unique configuration based on our company's business model.
Yes
We have support from several T&T representatives.
Our support is in India, so it makes communicating in real time difficult because of the time difference.
Can be difficult to learn, but once you understand Mboxes and the nuances of the system it's very user friendly.
No significant problems.
The bottleneck is never the software program
  • Demandware.
Great to work with.
Charged based on Mboxs firing. Higher the volume, the cheaper per fire.

Test & Target Review

  • Allows for A/B and MVT Testing very well.
  • Provides detailed reporting.
  • Relatively simple implementation.
  • Allows marketers to test content without IT involvement.
  • Implementation is dated now compared to other tools.
  • Some of the 'flexibility' of the tool actually makes it more complex.
  • Increases in conversion of 50-100% depending on the pages.
Because the value we receive is greater than the cost of ownership/maintenance
Recommended that you have a staff that is trained and committed to the software.

  • Testing landing pages and conversion funnel pages.
  • Optimization of purchase process.
  • Provide statistical analysis of variations to secure the most optimal process for customers.
Autonomy Optimost
Webtrends Optimize was on the list. Ultimately, my previous experience with Adobe T&T led us to make the decision to use it.
  • Implemented in-house
Ensure that documentation is thorough and detailed. Make no assumptions that IT or developers know why they are doing what you're asking them to do, and provide detailed instructions to them.
  • Self-taught
I would recommend certification/training. Since I had completed it before in a previous job, we didn't need to pay for it again.
No need, the software had what we needed.
No
Because of my previous employment at Omniture/Adobe, I am certified in the use of the software and the testing methodologies. We don't need to pay for outside expertise.
Interface is intuitive and easy to use.
  • Adobe SiteCatalyst
It was fairly simple. Some additional code (vendor supplied) allowed testing data to be piped into analytics software.
Great during sales to provide demos, and case studies.
Where possible, negotiate to only be billed in active tests. Often times, you will have 'empty' marketing boxes tagged that will be billed if you're not careful.
