(26-36 of 36)Extremely flexible but work needed on documentation
- 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.
You too can run 100+ Tests a Month with Test&Target
- 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.
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 Review
- Multiple options to split the traffic across different segments. For example, we test campaigns sent out on weekdays versus weekends, and we do some multivariate testing on various combinations of creative and embedded pricing. Since most of our campaigns are national in scope, we don't use the geo segmenting capabilities.
- The product is quite intuitive and easy-to-use.
- Conversion reports are very helpful.
- We can manage multiple tests simultaneously.
- Impression volume cannot be segmented after the fact. If I did not create the segment up-front, I cannot segment the data on the back end. We use SiteCatalyst do do this.
User Experience Optimization with Test & Target
- Test & Target is an excellent means to understand and quantify any user experience solutions your business needs to achieve.
- Large scale tests combined with incremental changes will whip your web properties into shape. You will better understand your customers, as well as your success metrics. In the scope of a campaign, you can better understand the behavior of your audience by setting up specific success metrics (i.e. clicks on specific nav items, white paper downloads, page landings, etc.) alongside your primary conversions (i.e. form fill, purchase, application, etc.)
- Test & Target is an excellent solution for directing traffic to the appropriate web properties. By targeting specific users, you will have the ability to set up parameters which determine the content which you want the customer to view.
- Test & Target undergoes product updates on a regular basis, making its capabilities more robust. You must be analytic AND creative to use Test & Target to its fullest potential.
- Be careful to not rack up too many server calls - this can be a costly endeavor. If you're in a large corporation which can afford mass quantities of server calls per year, then you won't have to be as concerned. If you are a small company, you must be more prudent and use T&T for specific campaigns which have a life span, can warrant specific results, and do not linger on. De-activating mboxes within T&T is a great way to disable mboxes without bugging IT or your web developers about removing/adding mboxes every time you want to run a campaign.
- T&T is client-side user experience testing, meaning what the customer sees is based on their specific visit in a specific web browser - and the experience is controlled by T&T during the lifespan of the cookie. This is not a fault of T&T, but it is necessary to understand. As you build and QA campaigns, you still have to check the experience in ALL browsers and you have to be aware that a user visiting your site on more than one computer may see different experiences based on how they were routed in the test campaign.
Adobe Test&Target is good, but....
- The features and navigation are very intuitive.
- Reports are very informative with ability to create custom segments to help analyze results from different angles.
- Setting up campaigns is very straightforward. Anyone could do it with basic training of the tool. And Adobe offers assistance for questions when setting up campaigns.
- Adobe also offers assistance for technical support for setting up offers, but it's limited.
- It relies on mbox and depending on how they are implemented, you may need to rely on your IT team to implement additional mboxes for certain tests.
- To set up test offers, most of the time you will need to have knowledge of html and css. And depending on how the mboxes are implemented, you could be heavily relying on jQuery to manipulate the elements on your site for test offers.
- There is no WYSIWYG interface for you to highlight elements on your site while creating offers, which could be useful for users with less front end development experience.
Test & Target helps us create a great customer experience
- In the primary uses in which we use T&T, it helps with the delivery of content.
- T&T helps segment the users we are targeting during the promotional period we are using the system for.
- I have not run into any issues with our current usage.
Overall review
- Integration with analytics suite.
- Easy presentation of data.
- Excellent setup.
- Not very user friendly to the non-technical people.
- Needs a better interface.
- Ability to QA the test.
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.
Excellent tool, but a bit of a learning curve
- Excellent targeting capabilities.
- Deep A/B testing capabilities that you don't find with other testing platforms.
- Easy to use with SiteCatalyst.
- Like any Adobe product, there is a learning curve.
- Too much dependency on development.
- Support could be better.
Expensive, inaccurate, and 70% not useful.
- The product interface is very easy to use. Tests are easy to set up and manage.
- From the development standpoint, tests are not any easier to set up than they would be manually. They actually are more complicated and provide more work to our development team.
- The software is extremely expensive. You cannot segment your tests or campaigns by geo-targeting, for example, unless you pay extra for that portion of the package.
- Customer service was easy to get into contact with, but your consulting time with them is very limited, and they weren't always knowledgeable about the issues you needed help with.
- The software is mainly centered around the "Target" portion of the product (I would say about 75% of the product is devoted to this). Once testing completes, there are many options to push your winning campaigns live and target them to specific segments. Unfortunately this adds to the expense of the software; you pay by impressions. We also use an external ad display software. For these reasons, we did not use any of the targeting portion of the product, which left 75% of it unusable.
- Test results are real-time, but we found they weren't always accurate. For example, when we would implement the winning campaign from a test, we often found no drastic improvement in conversion, or sometimes it even converted worse.
