What is Coveo Qubit?
Coveo Qubit (acquired October 2021) uses rich visitor data to understand different user segments and serve personalized messages to audience segments using JavaScript. It is available on either a managed or self-service model.
Data is collected using Qubit’s own QProtocol data layer, or by integrating the user’s existing model via our API. Quantitative visitor behavioral data is combined with qualitative visitor feedback and ingested data from Qubit users' other systems of record enabling them to identify areas of the site and customer groups to optimize and target with personalization experiences.
Using JavaScript means that changes do not have to be hard-coded into the site, giving marketers and ecommerce teams greater power to implement changes outside of the development cycle.
Users can A/B test any changes to their site using Qubit, and the user interface lets them know what the test results are.

One key use case of Qubit is its ability to facilitate A/B testing, allowing users to create and implement tests to drive conversion rate improvements. With Qubit, marketing teams can quickly make changes to websites without requiring CMS changes or extensive development work. This flexibility enables them to test different designs and content variations in real-time, measure the impact of these changes, and make informed decisions on website optimization.
Another important use case of Qubit is its capability to collect and analyze large quantities of data to drive personalization based on customers' previous website and transactional behavior. By leveraging this data, Qubit empowers organizations to deliver targeted experiences and offers to specific customer segments, enhancing engagement and driving conversions. This level of personalization is seen as a key advantage of Qubit over other A/B testing and personalization software available in the market.
Furthermore, Qubit's attribution tool through OpenTag plays a crucial role in understanding visitor journeys and making informed decisions on marketing spend. It provides valuable insights into how customers interact with the website, helping organizations allocate resources effectively for maximum impact.

(26-50 of 117)Qubit: powerful testing platform with a strong team behind it
- Qubit platform uses solid testing algorithms and delivers reliable reporting and analytics of testing campaigns. The dashboard section is easy to use and provides a good high level overview of the core campaign metric performances.
- On-boarding and implementation of Qubit technology was painless and well handed throughout the entire process even with more complicated platforms.
- Turn-around time for development and testing of campaigns is extremely fast. This enables the business to have a much higher throughput of tests and allows for quick validation of ideas rather than having to wait for months before a test is ready to go live on production site.
- Self-serve tool is very basic and does not allow simple text changes or basic CSS modification of existing elements on a page. There is always a balance between reliability of code vs features of the editor, however it would be nice to have more basic editing options available in the visual campaign builder.
- It would be nice to have more options to segment the analytics in the reporting tool. Qubit has now introduced full export of the data via their insights section via CSV which allows further analysis. Other providers offer the option to segment via technology (browser/device) or visitor attributes right within their basic reporting tool which is a nice way or drilling down large amounts of data.
- Segmentation
- Personalization
- Ideal for both advanced and non advanced users
- Could include more programming features for advanced users
- Could improve platform performance
- Could have better integration with third parties
Why Qubit?
- Good functionality, team of engineers and designers on board - feels like you're in expert hands.
- Advanced functionality with endless possibilities.
- Good account management set up means you'll always have a contact, training and ongoing support.
- Cheaper packages or discounts on additional modules for existing and loyal users.
- Faster speed - often we're restricted on the timelines and queues with engineers and can only run a test a time.
- High staff turnover - not ideal for daily contacts and relationship building.
Qubit and data driven decisions for the win!
- Market sector and industry knowledge. Using this, they have given us some excellent advice of what experiences to try, and using the data they gather from all clients are able to provide continual feedback and suggestions. This is a a credit to the staff they have exposed us to.
- The platform performs amazingly well. We have almost zero issues or downtime in the time we have been using them.
- Web experiences produced by Qubit always come out at a very high standard.
- Guidance / training on how we can run our own experiences if we have the resources.
However, while a low traffic retail site would still benefit from many of the other features of Qubit, it's less appropriate for any other type of website where the goals are harder or impossible to track.
Utilizing Qubit in Fashion E-comm
- They offer a comprehensive product that utilizes cutting edge technology and allows their clients access to data and personalization capabilities that we otherwise would be lacking.
- Their strategists are extremely knowledgable about the industry and provide great ideas and recommendations for your business.
- They have a talented team of engineers within their professional services team that can build out experiences or perform QA if you opt to take more of a self-service approach.
- They are juggling multiple clients, so sometimes responses are delayed or SLAs are missed.
Qubit is well suited for companies that not only want access to data, but are also truly willing and able to take meaningful action based upon these insights. Qubit allows you to capture so many events and segment your customers in many different ways, but it is really only worthwhile if you are able to then take action and actually utilize these insights.
- Qubit's support is fantastic, very knowledgeable of the current industry.
- Qubit allows us to quickly iterate over new versions of features to A/B test.
- The workflow, for developers, could be more well-documented. But perhaps I haven't found the documentation for this.
Makes life a whole lot easier
- Very professionally operated, and with consistent customer service
- Lots of possibilities to build out
- Tag management
- Speed can sometimes be lacking
- Tag data access
- Could be a little more user-friendly and not so geared toward engineer types
- A/B testing
- Personalization
- Tag management
- Reporting on A/B test results
- Affect it has on the speed of the website
- General reporting and access to data that they collect through the tag
- User Experience Testing
- Customer Journey Reporting
- Dynamic Customer Segmentation
- A/B Testing
- Mobile Experience Testing
- Data Integration
- Tara and Trip have been excellent contacts and resources for questions and answers. Their Service and support and extremely helpful.
- The ease of test implementation is very handy. Requirements are discussed, the project is scoped and development starts. Updates are provided as steps are accomplished and tests are visible throughout the entire test period.
- The provided "opportunities" section helps define what next steps may be taken from a project management standpoint. This is a two edged sword. 1) It provides some light directionality communication on what next mid or low tier priorities exist. 2) This also proves the investment of the tool by adding a third voice to the conversation and consistently communicating ROI in potential dollars to be gleaned from the work that could be done.
- I have yet to be "impressed" by any of the design elements supplied by the design team. I know that they are working from a billable clock perspective, but many of the designs require two or three rounds of refinement before I have been happy with their finalized work. Even then, the design itself seems somewhat vapid. It may be that they have not been empowered to challenge formats or pages more specifically, but more often than not, I wonder what their background is, as many adjustments seem like design 101 from an eCommerce perspective.
- The timeliness of design turnaround is the least expedient of the group. Tara's ability to launch a project is excellent, her developers and QA team seem to have legitimate 48-72 business hour turnaround times, but the design feels like it takes much longer. This is then compounded by the aforementioned required set of approvals during which additional adjustments are made. Again, I do not know what requirements are provided, but it is the only part of the relationship that I would deem a "pain point."
- I would like to see a more Robust Customer Feedback tool or the addition of a automated report. There are plenty of false negatives or false positives in the reporting and so the breakdown within the tool doesn't help a great deal. Segmenting by type is more helpful, but the positive negative is often not correct.
Would recommend Qubit!
- Quick implementation and deployment.
- Good analytics dashboard.
- Being able to save segments is a good new feature as it saves lots of time.
- Takes a while for the tests to inject, sometimes it's visibly noticeable. Would be good to have an option whether to include jQuery or not which could reduce the library size and improve the loading speed.
- Sometimes Qubit engineers write complex code for tests that should be a few lines of code.
- On a few occasions there have been live issues with segmentation etc, which has caused tests specific to certain smaller markets to become visible to all markets.
A little underwhelming
- Self service solution so that tests can be built in house without support.
- Serviced offering for more complicated tests to be built.
- Difficult to use interface means reporting on tests is clunky. While improvements are being made with Livetap, this then relies heavily on clients having their own analysts capable of manipulating SQL databases to get access to the information they need, which is less than ideal.
- Reliability of data has proven problematic, with insufficient time spent validating the data within Qubit against other client sources before banding around results that later turn out to be incorrect.
- Problems with service levels, with a lot of the strategist team not close enough to the tests or how Qubit works, and more focused on big numbers they can promote than whether a test has worked successfully / whether the data is statistically robust.
- Difficulties using the serviced solution as often projects took longer than expected and communication on the progress of these was poor, making it difficult to work through a backlog of requests and manage expectations within the company in terms of delivery dates.
Getting the job done with Qubit
- The UI of the tools are very clean, and easy to use. You don't need to work in IT or have any technical understanding to do the majority of tasks. This makes working on Qubit tags or experiences fairly easy and self explanatory.
- You can control what tags / experiences are live very easily, and have full control over them in terms of what pages they fire on, to who they fire (traffic %), and what sites they fire on (production or staging or QA sites).
- There is a good history tracking system built into both the Tag Manager and Experiences manager of when things were last changed and published. Helping manage changes efficiently.
- When briefing experiences / tag changes into Qubit Engineers you spend a lot of time sat in queues waiting for the work to be picked up and built/executed. When the work is eventually started it does come back fairly quickly, it's just a shame you spend so long waiting for it to be done.
- Often work comes back not quite as complete as you would like it, or in a position that is ready to go live straight away. We have an in house test team to review Qubit builds and we always have to go through 1 or 2 rounds of testing and fixing before something can go live to production.
In terms of where they don't sit well, I am unsure, as the few reasons I use them they do fulfill those requirements. I can't comment on the other functionalities they offer.
Qubit Review
- Easy to use basic mode. Drag and drop functionality with a simple interface makes Qubit user friendly for even basic digital users.
- Powerful segmentation. Allows you to serve experiences with a single customer view.
- Simple integration. Didn't take long to integrate with our website.
- More options and flexibility in Basic Mode. Very restricted in some areas.
- Reporting. In app reporting is very simple and often not relevant to the experience set up.
- Insights are vague and largely unhelpful. Unless they become more intelligent they don't seem to add anything at the moment.
A/B Testing Done Well
- Allows A/B testing of features/functionality on website
- Provides insight into how tests are performing
- With their OpenTag product, searching for a specific bit of code across all of your scripts/rules/etc., would be extremely useful.
- Being able to revert back just a single script would be helpful or to have the ability to differentiate between two versions so that you could see what was changed on a script/tag level.
Qubit
- Great consumer reporting
- Light implementation
- Great user friendly site A/B testing
- More training on reporting
- Exports into user friendly reports
Qubit Review
- Excellent account management team.
- Robust tool that is easy to use.
- Shared insights into what other online retailers in the marketing are doing.
- Less reliance on man days/commercials as this can cause planning issues.
- More in-depth training as to some of the more advanced tools on offer.
- More in-depth analysis as to testing performance and how we should look to move forward with these results.
Worst business decision for CRO
- The visualisations had a clear and modern design.
- The developers had a coder friendly environment which incorporated familiar tools.
- They offered a lot of integrations out the box.
- The reports for experimentation were very hard to configure. They miss the basics like 'date range' which makes them very hard to use and hard to correct if you wanted to change last minute.
- There's no possibility of adding javaScript to the Control variant which can lead to a lot of hacky work arounds.
- Latency in the deliver of experiences. At one point we had an issue where Qubit's script was taking north of 30s to load.
- Statistical confidence never came... you can't control anything when it comes to how their stats model works so you're very limited unless you're a large enterprise with huge volumes of traffic.
Quibit is really good
- Consulting and recommending things to try
- Reporting on performance
- Working quickly
- Keeping us informed and up to date with what's going on
- Not applicable to us at the moment - all the limitations are on our side until we have our new website in place
- Web page optimisation.
- Cross channel marketing (when our site is capable of handling it)
Qubit Team transformed a technology into a product to drive and understand dynamic customer segments
- The team support
- Data preparation for strategic review
- Growth hacking project management
- Test throught multi-device environment
- CRM algoritms into A/B test console
Solving UX issues with Qubit
- Allows you to look at user experience data in a visual easy to read way.
- We were able to GEO target customers and give them product selection based on weather, for an uplift in sales.
- Our design team was able to be more creative with the Qubit tool.
- Having a smaller customer base, the experiences always needed more data.
- Depending on the web browser it was sometimes buggy when trying to view experiences or set them up in the tool.
Qubit - A useful Customer Experience Tool
- Professional services is incredibly knowledgeable. Many experiences we wanted to create would not have been possible without this.
- Quick to fix issues we have raised in production.
- Commitment to engaging our internal teams by running workshops across Europe.
- Industry leading personalisation product. A shame we didn't get a chance to use it!
- Delivery times. More often than not, delivery dates were missed. This was very frustrating throughout our relationship.
- Production issues. We had several issues in production due to Qubit product changes that we were unaware of. This was unacceptable.
- Professional services spread too thinly. Sometimes, our contacts took too long to respond, which was exacerbated massively when employees were on annual leave.
- Verify internal changes made by A/B testing.
- Using social proof to improve customer journeys.
- Segmenting customers based on locations/languages/previous actions.
- Targeting specific users by uploading CSVs.
- Personalising the experience based on all of the above.
- Large builds take a long time and have many defects. This takes further time to fix them.
- Quick wins can take a long time due to the build/QA queues that come as a result of the shared resource pool that's split amongst several clients.
Qubit I would
- Front end development work - We don't have enough resources to build the experiences ourselves so with the expertise of Qubit's in house development we can move much faster to get tests out the door, rather than wait for resources to free up internally.
- Account Management - Our account managers are passionate and engaged and will go the extra mile to ensure we're getting good value out of the product.
- Although it's not the most important feature in the world, a WYSIWYG interface would sometimes help speed up basic tests and changes on site.
Easy to use and great support
- Qubit is particularly good at helping us decide which features we should be testing on our site based purely on our data. This helps us ensure that we are only testing things that are going to provide us with the most value.
- They are also very proactive at reaching out to us and are quick to respond to requests.
- I would love to see a more flexible pricing plan so that I could purchase support as I needed it instead of in large bundles.
Qubit is great for our business needs
- Geotargeting is great, we can target countries, cities, states, continents etc.
- It is great for A/B testing, it's easy to see clear results.
- Deployment is almost instant.
- Sometimes the sand box area/test editor areas become unresponsive and don't load, showing no errors either which is annoying if we want to pause/publish tests.
- There have been a few occasions where the segmentation has broken, resulting in geo targeted promos showing in the wrong location and for all users.
- I've found that the Qubit engineers overcomplicate tests, I'm not sure whether this is to charge more time to the company or if the just have different approaches but some tests that have been given to Qubit to write seem like overkill.
- The response time could be improved. Sometimes if there are live issues and we email urgently the response time can be at least a day, which by then the issue is fixed but we've already had to pause/amend our tests.
Qubit - experimentation at scale done well
- Experimentation at scale - running large amounts of AB and multivariant experiments
- Great customer service - no matter what the issue, we've always had the support we need to ensure we stay on track
- Allow us to run ABns at 100%!! Sometimes we need to be able create a custom control (empty) and a variant but Qubit only allows us to run it at 95% which means we're then losing 5% of traffic
- Functionality testing of multiple experiments simultaneously to understand the implications of combined experiments in the same area - we had to create our own functionality to do this
