Use it to expand recommendations and introduce personalization. Ability to test use cases to increase conversions and revenue. Segmenting our visitor base has allowed us to get to a more granular level and understand pain points and understand what causes friction for our end users. We have been able to scale quicker and expand the footprint.
  • Test any container on page
  • Provide out of the box options
  • Work with analytics to get data quicker
  • Lack of avenue to customer data CDP
  • Lack of real test environment
I can tailor my use case to specific customer attributes and situations and be able to get timely feedback on how the experience was either positive or an area for improvement.

The application has opened the way to an expansion of [the] market and digital sales since it offers us an analysis and clarification of the behavior of all users who traffic on our website. It is possible that sometimes if you work with data management this application generates failures in its performance. However, through Adobe Target we can take marketing actions to engage users.
  • This application gives us an incredible integration with Adobe Analytics that allows its operation to be the best and determine the performance of our website.
  • It offers us an analysis based on user behavior and a web page customization option to adapt and meet the needs of those users.
  • We have encountered some issues when performing large scale testing; when testing in large scale the drag and drop function becomes clumsy in operation and wastes some time.
  • Also, when testing a lot of information the software of this application tends to have delays.
We recommend this application because it allows us to segment and track the traffic of our domain under an analysis of their behavior, ranging from counting the number of clicks they make on a single element to the most complete action within our page in real time.

The application has done us a great favor in providing us with analysis tools and results to take marketing actions. We can analyze and interpret user behavior to open up our opportunities for them. However, in certain aspects, its functionality can become complicated and requires advanced knowledge for optimal use.
  • This application has worked for us as an effective tool to manage any marketing action.
  • It is very easy to configure user settings and perform A/B tests on your domains.
  • In addition, [we] can access information about the performance of our website thanks to the fact that it integrates an extension with Adobe Analytics.
  • For certain employees who are new or newly promoted to the marketing department of our company who are not technical, the drag and drop option becomes quite complicated and confusing.
  • Similarly, when doing large-scale analytics, the application undertakes clumsy operation and creates delays.
For our part, we recommend the application for tracking pages visited by users, performing tests and pausing them if necessary. We can determine almost all the actions of users within our domain, such as tracking, and counting the number of clicks made on an element accurately in real time.

We work with this tool in all the marketing departments that make up our company. It is worth mentioning that with the functionality of this service, we have been able to make notable improvements to all our websites in the last few years, allowing them to attract more and more people's attention and at the same time allowing many people to learn about our services. This tool allows us to execute improvements to the different websites, by creating tests that allow us to test the new changes in order to know how functional they are. In general it has been a very easy tool to use and all the members of our marketing team love it.
  • It is the best tool I know to optimize the smooth running of a website, with the highest guarantee.
  • Its interface is distinguished by its ease of use and by providing highly accurate real-time data reports.
  • It has an excellent integration with Adobe Analytics, is a very flexible tool, and the performance of its operation is very good.
  • When testing large scales I have noticed that its drag and drop function works with imperfections and this causes some loss of time due to its clumsy operation.
  • Another disadvantage of this product is that when working on a large scale the software has delays.
  • Its price is quite expensive and this calls into question whether the software is cost-effective to implement.
Adobe Target works very well for any business, offers very solid solutions to manage and make constant improvements to different websites, is easy to learn, and is ideal for any marketing specialist with or without experience. The only disadvantage of this service is its high cost.

When I was using Adobe Test and Target, it was solely within the marketing department primarily for the sake of quick tests that only really involved HTML, CSS or JS changes. We would use it to test hiding something or switching something to a different image or different text. This testing solution was not leveraged for larger test initiatives like full page redesigns or testing new feature sets. It was great for what we used it for, which may have been only 20% of what the tool had to offer, but a home grown testing platform worked better and was easier to manage for the larger stuff. With that being said, what we used it for on a regular basis just didn't justify the cost of the solution. Being a relatively Adobe shop, I got sick of the 'Adobe Promise' of it integrates perfectly with your other Adobe solutions and products. They all talk and work well together.... or so they say. I worked on three different Adobe product integrates; one was relatively simple, but the other two were jokes.
  • Quickly manipulate HTML, CSS, and JS. That is really all we used it for, but it was super nice to update things on the fly without requiring code deploys.
  • Unfortunately we didn't use it for much more than what I provided. Major testing initiatives were conducted through a home grown solution.
It just seemed super overpriced. That may have just been because pricing was traffic volume based and when you have tens of millions of monthly uniques it adds up quickly.

It is being used by most departments in the organization to run A/B tests on our Desktop and Mobile Web experiences. The main business driver behind the use of Test & Target at this point is conversion optimization. However we are also using it to test engagement metrics such as clicks.
  • The test report page is very intuitive. It is very easy to analyze a test based on different segments such as new and returning users.
  • Having confidence levels inserted into the reporting tool is a key feature. While it is a simple feature, it allows users to easily understand when results are significant.
  • We have recently created swim lanes for traffic and this has been very helpful to make sure that different tests are not crossing over in terms of traffic.
  • There should be some more clarity around what makes a test significant. While this can be decided by the client themselves, some direction from the tool would be helpful.
  • Also, if there was an easier way to organize campaigns and search for them it would be helpful. Right now there is just a long list of campaigns and you have to rely on search to find a specific campaign. What if you don't know the name of the test?
I feel you need to have a dedicated developer who works solely in Test & Target. If you have that resource, and ensure to train the resource sufficiently, it will make it much easier to be able to run tests and have a clean testing program.

Adobe's Test & Target product is used widely throughout the marketing department. It is primarily used for its AB Testing functionality as well as its ability to interface with SiteCatalyst via a T&T plugin. The department uses the AB Tests to cross-sell and up-sell its products in several regions of the world. It provides great support and research in the metrics of several KPI's including pricing, visual appeal,engagement and conversion.
  • The product is extremely simple and easy to use. The interface is very intuitive and the learning curve is miniscule if one possesses the knowledge of the proper web technologies.
  • It is a robust piece of software with the ability to interface with other Adobe/Omniture products via plugins. In our organization, this cross-functionality saves a lot of time and resources. The terminology is also the same across all Adobe/Omniture products to make for an easy transition.
  • The tool also provides one with the ability to execute multiple tests simultaneously and to segment traffic to particular tests. The software is extremely scalable.
  • Adobe Test & Target is a premium product and with that it comes at a very premium price. Usually smaller businesses/individuals cannot afford to pay for such a tool because it ranges high in pricing per month. If the product is used optimally then it can pay for itself.
The software is exemplary in traffic segmentation and has the ability to set up custom metrics using its intuitive interface. The implementation of the product itself is very intuitive and uses simple terminology. It's easy to insert code snippets. Its ability to create custom javascript tests is a feature that blows other tools out of the water.

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.
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.

  • 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.
Let go of your preconceptions about what you think will win a user experience test, but keep hold of your marketing savvy.
