Dynamic Yield has been a fantastic tool for us. We use it to personalize our website, and it's made a big difference. It helps with product and content recommendations, campaigns and mails, A/B testing and targeting customers effectively. It's been a real boost to our customer experience, conversions, revenue and overall business performance.Our Customer Success Manager has been great: they've been there every step of the way, helping us navigate the platform, providing invaluable training, and offering guidance to ensure we make the most of Dynamic Yield's capabilities.
  • Customizable strategies for product recommendations
  • Customer Success Manager offered amazing support and advice
  • Great out-of-the-box solutions
  • Would love to have deeper built-in reporting
  • More metrics
In my opinion, Dynamic Yield proves to be an ideal ally in helping businesses reach their revenue targets. Product recommendations in particular have been highly effective for us. A/B testing and customization also give valuable insight on customer behavior helping us to craft impactful, data-backed strategies.

We rely on Dynamic Yield heavily to support out site personalization, product recommendations, A/B Testing, as well as content management for events. Dynamic Yield has been pivotal in helping us segment our Homepage, and product recommendations, and gaining additional insights to our key audiences. We are operating on a homegrown website, which can cause lengthy development times to get features and enhancements, the ease of use of the dynamic yield tool has allowed us to iterate faster, to improve our customer experience.
  • The ease of use of the platform
  • Strong performance of product recommendations
  • A/B Testing Insights and strategy building
  • Improved data around audience behavior
  • Creating events and tracking can be tedious
  • Some campaigns can slow down site speed
  • Some of the out of the box templates are cool but not complete
Dynamic Yield is very well suited to help companies reach revenue goals. We rely heavily on the incremental revenue driven from product rec's alone, as it makes up about 14% of our total site revenue. Dynamic Yield is also really useful to providing us behavioral insights with A/B Testing. We are constantly testing, copy, creative, and customer flows, etc. to help us make impactful and data driven decisions, that ultimately improve customer experience, and increase our incremental revenue.

We have been using Dynamic Yield since 2018 in Web and Emails with many personalized campaigns across three domains. Due to lack of resources only one person is responsible for ideating, creating and maintaining all the campaigns now with the focus of optimizing existing recommendation campaigns and strategies. In our shop, users can buy DIY patterns and material for sewing, knitting etc. This is the kind of product that usually requires advice from specialists. One business challenge is recommending relevant products online, like in a physical store, where customers can get competent product advice. The personalisation with Dynamic Yield also allows us to do this online by recommending products through personalised algorithms.
  • Great Support with my Customer Success Manager
  • Helpful training sessions
  • Innovative and contemporary selection of templates
  • I'm missing further explanations of the various reports
  • I'm missing more metrics
  • Heavy Dynamic Yield script that affects page speed
Dynamic Yield offers various ways to personalize a website without the need for any coding knowledge. For simple recommendations, for example, there are many different algorithms that can be tested against each other. For more complex recommendations where the default settings are not sufficient, I would like more technical support, especially regarding the structure of the data feed.

While of course giving us the ability to run UX tests and uncover new segments for personalization, Dynamic Yield also reduces dev resources needed with the amazing out-of-box features, provides us with the most innovative and up-to-date features to test with, helps us minimize revenue loss within a strategic growth plan and gives us the insights we need to improve KPIs that are important to the business.
  • Innovative out-of-the-box features
  • Robust analytics capabilities
  • Detailed segmentation for building experiences
  • Easier integration capabilities with custom analytics dashboards being used internally (Like Google Data Studio)
Dynamic Yield is great for personalization and product recommendations!

We use Dynamic Yield to enhance our customer experience, drive conversions, and improve overall business performance. We take full advantage of the platform through: Product recommendations: to provide tailored recommendations to customers based on their browsing history, purchase behavior, or demographic information. A/B testing: we are consistently A/B or multivariate testing to optimize various aspects of our website and marketing campaigns. This includes testing different layouts, CTAs, visuals, pricing strategies, or messaging to identify the most effective variations for driving conversions and improving customer engagement. Funnel optimization: by identifying and addressing areas of friction or drop-offs in our audience reports, we can test and optimize the user experience and increase conversion rates. Customer segmentation and targeting: segmenting users and targeting specific user groups with tailored messaging and content. This includes creating segments based on how they’ve entered the site, past purchase behavior, and browsing history.
  • Audience Segmentation and Analytics
  • Strategy for Product Recommendations
  • Seamless Website Customizations
  • Deeper analytics and reporting
  • Audience reporting data is currently limited to the last 30 days only
Dynamic Yield excels in providing personalized recommendations and website customizations. It is an extremely reliable tool that we use on our site daily. As a robust testing tool, it may be overkill for a site that does not have high traffic.

Site personalization including product recommendation. Next step is email and app personalization to create an omnichannel experience.
  • UE personalization and customization: lots of useful OOTB templates; easy to set up with little to no help from engineering
  • Product recommender: multiple strategies can be configured and combined with a lot of flexibility
  • UE AB test - easy to set up and easy to read by a marketing person with little to no help from engineering / analytics
  • Data validation can be made easier: sometimes campaign impression data can be quite different between DY and GA and it is not that easy to reconcile and debug
  • Sometimes DY makes a decision on what experience to render before all attributes for targeting are available (especially audience), and some customers may see a generic experience even if a more specific experience is available. Would be nice if the wait feature is more powerful so we can tell DY to wait for the audience data to completely load
Great for both AB testing and site personalization, especially if customers on the site log in. With an added fee, you get the the recommender module too which is very powerful and flexible for many different use cases. After the initial setup, a marketing person can easily create test / implement site and email personalization ideas with little to no help from the engineering or analytics team. There are a lot of great out of the box template to pick from.

We use Dynamic Yield to personalize and optimize the shopping experience. To do this, we create segments that we later use to target specific users and show them more relevant content or product recommendations. We test each use case to make sure it brings us more engagement, and we rely on data-driven decisions. We leverage personalization along the entire customer journey. Without Dynamic Yield, we would lose a lot of revenue!
  • ) Provides potential targeting opportunities based on machine learning
  • ) As part of an A/B test, it provides information about statistical significance
  • ) Many things are explained on the platform, so it is easy to understand all settings
  • ) Very good availability of DY employees for questions
  • ) Quick Win Mailings would be helpful to exploit the potential of the tool even more in the Daily Work.
  • ) That multiple users can work within a campaign without overwriting each other.
  • ) More concrete reporting at the variation level, especially for recommendation campaigns.
  • ) Saving an additional stylesheet that can be used when a new default template is used, e.g. font, font style, etc.
If you want to offer your users a personalized shopping experience, which meets their interests of the user, you have found a great personalization solution with DY. The handling is very easy and the impact is huge.

We use Dynamic Yield’s recommendation algorithms, testing, and audiences to deploy experiences on our platform to help our customers more quickly find the merchants they’re looking for with personalization and recommendations that nudge them into placing orders.
  • The platform itself is very intuitive and easy to use
  • Algorithmic performance
  • Audiences - lots of flexibility and control
  • Dynamic Yield is excellent for powering recommendations, personalized experiences, testing, and optimizing those experiences across channels including the app and web. Though Dynamic Yield has CDP-like capabilities, it’s not a pure CDP, so I’d recommend using another platform for that. That being said, Dynamic Yield does allow you to onboard data from pretty much any third-party source, as well as push audiences to third-party ESPs and media platforms.
We’re running on a Single Page Application, so we were looking to partner with a technology vendor who can seamlessly integrate with SPA environments and allow us to dynamically modify, test, and personalize various elements on our app screens. Prior to Dynamic Yield, we were working with Optimizely and encountered huge challenges integrating with our SPA infrastructure.

We currently use Dynamic Yield to help personalize our website through different experiences and product recommendation modules. The algorithms are constantly updating, learning more about our customers and providing insights into buying patterns based on anything from operating system to geography, to weather patterns and frequency of site visits. Dynamic Yield is used to generate smarter product recommendations and also to provide key messaging and marketing materials at different points in the customer journey.
  • Product recommendations are easy to set up, and powerfully personalizable through either hands on refining or automated A/B testing
  • Customer insights are easy to set up and can be applied retroactively to data
  • A/B testing anything from different graphics to copy to page layouts is easy to set up and implement site wide
  • Greater flexibility for the out of the box templates - things such as typeface are not consistent and can require developer time to ensure a seamless site experience
  • Exporting datasets don't necessarily reflect the way Dyanmic Yield is implemented on site, occasionally requiring that you go through experience by experience to extract the data you want
  • I would like to see a more customizable homepage dashboard with the ability to modify the content of widgets, showing trends across multiple experiences rather than just being able to update the timeframe for a widget between Yesterday, Past 7 Days, or Past 30 Days before having to deep dive into a full report
Dyanmic Yield is great for creating powerful product recommendations that target any sized groups. The platform also make is easy to modify your website and optimize everything from copy variations to images to multi-touch point campaigns. Creating strategies is easy and it is then a question of selecting the type of recommendation you wish to implement to get the widgets in front of your site visitors.

I am using Dynamic Yield for personalization and A/B testing site side. Using Dynamic Yield to test new features and functionality to prove out concepts. Using Dynamic Yield to uncover hidden revenue through various out of the box features and custom code updates to target returning and new customers.
  • Dynamic Yield out of the box tools are easy to use!
  • Dynamic Yield provides great use cases and strategies through a customer success manager.
  • Dynamic Yield is easily customizable to replicate your site theme.
  • Dynamic Yield SPL seems a little buggy as my business is on a headless environment.
Dynamic Yield A/B testing is perfect for my business along with personalization tools. Within my organization it is best to prove a concept before implementing fulltime. This tool allows me to have measured success and clear data to bring to leadership.

Our Conversion Rate Optimisation team is leveraging Dynamic Yield in order to manage, track and report on the performance of tests and recommendations. We leverage the built in algorithms and testing capabilities to split and report on experience and variation based performance. As well as to iterate tests and help to map out our testing cadence and test iterations moving forward.
  • Provide fantastic support, both in relation to strategy/best practice and troubleshooting.
  • An easy to use interface, as a user who is relatively new to Dynamic Yield I find that it is an intuitive platform to use.
  • The ability to segment and drill down on data allows for really specific insights which, whilst not necessarily being leveraged on a testing basis, can be super valuable from a greater marketing perspective.
  • We are based in Australia and while your support staff are amazing, we find that we struggle to have quick resolutions to our issues and training calls are outside of business hours as our DY support team are all based in the Northern Hemisphere - local support would be amazing!
  • We are currently working with a client who has two international sites and hard redirects based on geographic location - it is causing issues with regard to source attribution and location of users (users who have been hard redirected are still showing as having been users and huge percentages of traffic are incorrectly being attributed to referral/direct) it would be great if some troubleshooting could address these types of issues.
My personal use of Dynamic Yield is still quite limited. I have only been working directly with this platform for the last couple of months. In my limited experience, it appears that DY would be a fantastic solution when websites and reporting (i.e. GA integrations have been set up in a 'typical' manner). One of the clients I am presently working with has not followed best practice for many of these things and we are finding that we are struggling with data integrity (around source/location - is skewed due to two international sites each having hard redirects based on location). While I understand that technology platforms are generally built for the majority (customising a site for the few is a costly investment for little return) it would be great if there were some workarounds available for situations that are not-typical.

We use Dynamic Yield in a small team but are expending, since we see great potential with a small increase in resources. Anyways we're working as well on teaching individuals in other departments to maintain specific campaigns.
  • A/B-Testing.
  • Personalization.
  • Extend content with dynamic templates.
  • Analytics of various KPIs.
  • Data exports of raw data.
  • More flexible upload of data like .csv files.
Great for easy testing and simple personalization. Also setting up custom templates to extend content like banners, pop ups and overlays that maybe aren't easily accessible in the already used shop environment are a great feature of dynamic yield. I wouldn't recommend it as a stand-alone analytics tool. It serves some data but without the right experience to put them into context it might leads to wrong assumptions.

DY is being used by my e-commerce optimization department. Globally it addresses all the optimization and personalization use cases that we want to leverage on our digital touchpoints. We use to have multiple tools to deploy all these use cases and, now, thanks to DY, we only have one tool where we can trigger end-to-end experiences with 1 unified customer profile as we also use DY as a CDP.
  • Product recommendation
  • Affinity profile targeting
  • Omnichanel experience
  • Front and server side API
  • Webperf
  • Analytics capabilities
  • Targeting IPs
DY is well suited for offer personalization based on user affinity; it's really easy to generate experiences based on these scores. For product recommendations, DY has a very impactful algorithm that generates a lot of user engagement thanks to relevant propositions. DY is less appropriate to deep dive into the data that is generated by the tool, for example, we could expect better DataViz about behavior on multiple touchpoints or product performance.

At Moss Bros. we use Dynamic Yield within our Ecommerce team as our sole A/B testing tool - for both execution and analysis. It's an agile system that allows us to make quick, on-the-fly changes to HTML and CSS, and also much more complex tests within our sites code, and ultimately assits us to remove opinions from decicions and focus on the data.
  • A/B testing.
  • Site personalisation.
  • Audience segmentation.
  • Quick, visual edits like changing images don't work very well and sometimes need coding - which defeats the purpose.
  • Ease of selecting div's is clunky.
  • Easier capability of amending out-the-box widgets.
  • Creating experiences across mobile & desktop simultaneously would be good.
Dynamic Yield fits in perfectly for us with our suite of tools and our testing agency. We primarily use it for A/B testing a smaller site visual edits (for which it is very useful indeed - as it prevents us needing to go to coders for some tweaks). The area that we need to expand into more is personalisation, and how we can use our marketing segmentation more seamlessly within Dynamic Yield - rather than having to create separate pools of people.

LAGOS has been using Dynamic Yield for over 2 years. Since adding onsite personalization we have seen an increase in customer retention. Customers are coming to the site and being served relevant products to their shopping needs. The most significant change was updating our product recommendations to dynamic content instead of us picking what we thought the customer wanted to see.
  • The Customer Success team at DY is amazing. Whenever we have a question, they are quick to help and provide helpful information.
  • DY is very good at providing use case ideas from companies to help inspire use cases to be used on our site.
  • The DY Summit is an amazing time to hear from other customers and what they have been doing with DY on their sites.
  • The one thing I noticed that is missing from DY is the automatic merchandising for the product grid pages. But luckily I know this is in the works and will be released soon!
Dynamic Yield is the perfect partner to work with when trying to optimize your customers shopping experiences by providing specific content for their shopping habits.

We use Dynamic Yield for the personalization of banners in the online shop and for the internal, targeted display ads.
  • A/B testing onsite and for campaigns.
  • Many personalizations and targeting options.
  • They deliver new campaign ideas and easy to use templates also useable without devs.
  • There is no way to use a pool of strategy rules. Recurring rules have to set for every new strategy.
  • A more flexible filter condition, e.g. more possibilities to use "more than/less than" instead of "true/false".
Dynamic Yield is very easy to use and easy to understand even for inexperienced users. Without major adjustments, results can be achieved quickly, and developers are not required for most scenarios. In addition, there is very good and fast support. The evaluation of different experiences is somewhat limited. Here one should use external data tools.

Shoepassion uses Dynamic Yield within the marketing department to optimize and personalize the e-commerce website. All product recommendations within the website and in advertising mails are also implemented with Dynamic Yield. With Dynamic Yield, website changes and website testing can be implemented much faster than in the traditional way, since most changes do not require an IT department. In addition, Dynamic Yield helps us to publish special actions quickly and efficiently on the website and to enable a very fast communication path to the customer. Dynamic Yield can also be used by employees who only have rudimentary IT skills and is therefore very versatile within the marketing department.

  • Data-driven personalization.
  • Data-driven recommendation.
  • Implementation of website changes very efficient.
  • Automated test results within different user segments.
  • Automatic creation of interesting user segments.
  • Native integration in newsletter automation.
  • CRM on user basis.
Companies that want to tailor their website to the needs of the individual user should definitely try Dynamic Yield.

Originally Dynamic Yield was used for our eCommerce site so we could tailor our site to cater to different audiences. Everyone is at a different stage in their journey when shopping with us and a one size fits all model just didn't make sense. Looking at how people interact with our site and looking at what they purchase, we could then tailor campaigns that would be of interest to that customer. An example of this is that during a kit launch we would heavily promote our kit, however, if someone has already purchased the kit, why would we want to show them the same product they've already purchased, so for that audience we could tone down from the kit launch and show them other products available on site.

DY was also handy with Geo-Targeting, around Christmas we would promote jumpers and hoodies worldwide, however, in countries such as Australia, it would be their summer at this time, so DY allowed us to target those in Australia with shirts and hats.

Two years on, we now use DY in other departments in our organisation, including the main site and the stadium tours site.
  • Scheduling - We used to manually change campaign banners over but now it has allowed us to schedule our banners.
  • Retargeting - DY allows us to use our data to retarget to an audience we know have an affinity to a specific product.
  • Split Testing - Rather than using guess work as to what looks better on the site or what works better, we test every change we make to the site and allow DY to show us the numbers and make a more data-driven decision to any change on the site.
  • Design - there are limited templates you can use as overlays and notifications, if you want something more specific to your brand then you'll need some form of basic web development skills to create them.
I think Dynamic Yield is well suited for everyone, I think every customer is different and therefore every session should look different for every user. Dynamic Yield allows you to tailor to your product/service to your customers.

We use dynamic yield to support the marketing initiatives of our client, by focussing on campaigns to target on repeat users, etc
  • Supporting analytics are comprehensive.
  • Platform's UI is intuitive and easy to use/navigate.
  • I like the ability to create templates for experiences that could be used more than once with variable support for changing data definitions.
  • Better capabilities of user tracking in email campaign integrations for those campaigns that are not necessarily product-focused.

Dynamic Yield is being used primarily as a personalisation tool within our E-commerce department, it gives us the flexibility to launch ad-hoc campaigns targeted at specific user groups without involving the development team (most of the time). This allows the team to be agile and responsive to trading conditions, in turn helping us to achieve our overall goals and targets.
  • Quick on-boarding - we really pushed Dynamic Yield to have the software up and running on our platform in less than a month, this was achieved through effective collaboration between our ecom and dev teams and the DY on-boarding team.
  • Attentive and responsive account management - is a major plus point, the account team are always at the end of a phone line or respond to an email within the hour even when travelling.
  • Easy-to-use adaptable out of the box templates - helps us to spin up multiple tests in a short space of time.
  • Reporting - would be good to have a more detailed dashboard that you could customise to suit you needs and then export as a PDF report, currently we export data on a campaign by campaign basis which is fairly time consuming.
  • Site personalization - would be good if the results were also displayed on the on this screen as you could then see winners/losers quicker and make appropriate actions/decisions.
Dynamic Yield is well suited to businesses that are actively engaged in and concerned with how their customers are responding to their site/products be it as a first time or repeat customer. If your business wants to target specific segments with specific messages at specific times then Dynamic Yield is a perfect fit.

We use it to personalize the journey for our customers, give them product recommendations, and gear the site towards things they are likely to buy and need. It addresses the problem of customers not knowing what they might need or are looking for, it also works really well to upsell customers and increase the ROI.
  • Premade templates are a great starting point
  • The ability to basically be only limited by what you can come up with
  • Being able to tie into almost anywhere on your site.
  • Their reporting, of how user cases are doing.
  • Data and stats
So far Dynamic Yield, is suited for everything we have come across. if you can send your data in the feed to them then you can build just about anything.

Dynamic Yield is being used by the Personalization and A/B testing teams under the e-Commerce department at Sephora. It enables us to personalize the user's journey on our web and app platforms, as well as email. Additionally, we use it to run front-end tests to optimise our UI and marketing campaigns.
  • Personalisation - The tool is heightened with user personalisation opportunities that Dynamic Yield is able to identify with their algorithm. It's a very smart tool and the product recommendation strategies have proved to be a success, generating uplift in revenue and other e-commerce core metrics. Additionally, the recommendation algorithm continues to get stronger over time, which is really a testament to the technology that makes Dynamic Yield so successful.
  • A/B Testing - The number of variations and ability to control the traffic split is a very basic capability but the ease of using it on Dynamic Yield really takes this tool to the next level. Reiterating and pausing losing variations make it a very user-friendly and scalable tool.
  • Support - The Customer Success Managers play a really large role as they help us with strategic and technical questions and enable us to help move our capabilities with Dynamic Yield forward. Additionally, we have a very good relationship with members from the 24/7 Support team as really take care of us when we go to them with any problems/issues we'd like to solve.
  • App SDK is still new - the SDK is still new in a sense that the capabilities and support documents provided are not as thorough as they are for Web (Desktop and Mobile Web). Newer features are typically rolled out to web sections before they are rolled out to Mobile App.
  • Audience prediction - We are looking at other tools to get audience predictions as we'd like to further optimise our campaigns by reaching the relevant audience and targetting the ones that have a higher propensity to convert. Dynamic Yield is currently missing this functionality.
  • Reporting - The reporting dashboard is not sufficient to take a look at the data and results. It's very manual and tedious to pull the reports and manage our own insights. Additionally, we manage multiple sections which run the same experiences and consolidating the data outside of the Dynamic Yield platform means that our analytics and reporting is done offline.
It is well suited for A/B testing and personalisation. The product recommendation algorithms are varied and intelligent. They grow smarter over time which optimises the conversion opportunities we have with our customers. Great to use for splitting traffic and serving different variations. Additionally, the multi-campaign touch tool is a great way to build out the customer journey and test multiple experiences.

We use Dynamic Yield for A/B testing and personalization in the marketing department. It enables us to run A/B test easily through the admin and if we have any issues, the account managers and support team are always there to help us.
  • Product recommendations are easy to build and implement
  • Live chat with support teams
  • They listen to their customers and ask for feedback
  • New improvements and features are very common
  • Data feeds make it easy for mass uploads
  • Load times can be improved
  • Lack of technical support for complex tests for those who can't code
Dynamic Yield is great to modify your website and implement A/B tests easily. The way that they split the audience is very clean and the number of overlaps (where a user sees both variations) is minimal. It would be good to have some knowledge in HTML, CSS and Javascript to explore more complex tests. However, they are not able to ingest order cancellations/returns data in the dashboard so our analysis is still done internally.
