Dynamic Yield is a useful and effective tool to deliver personalized solutions to our customers in an Ecommerce environment. We have experienced a large impact on our business, especially with the product recommendations tool. Our CSM is knowledgeable and helpful in identifying additional ways that we can use the tool to personalize. We also use the tool to test dynamic content, similar to how you would for any AB testing. We like to use the DY tool for this because of the capability with audiences.
  • Product Recommendations
  • Segmentation of Audiences
  • Variety of testing tools
  • Third party integration with analytic tools
DY is a terrific tool for anyone in the Ecommerce space, and this can be for B2B or B2C goods. It is also quite useful for companies like ours that have thousands of SKUs.

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 implemented Dynamic Yield for personalization on our website. Dynamic Yield has helped us to provide better product selections for our customers based on their browsing. Dynamic Yield has assisted in helping us with not only implementing different strategies, but also ideating strategies that fit the personas of our customers.
  • Educate--they got me up to speed so quickly on the platform.
  • Communicate--our account rep is a great communicator! She is on top of deliverables and keeps us moving forward.
  • Mock ups--when we come up with an idea, our rep is able to provide us with a great mock up of the experience so we can truly understand the idea.
  • Dynamic Yield could be better with headless environments.
  • Dynamic Yield could be better with working with 3rd party developers.
  • Dynamic Yield could have more campaigns set up as drafts for their clients to edit and push live.
Dynamic Yield is a great platform for personalization. Personalization is where you win in the digital space, and Dynamic Yield delivers.

We at Tottenham Hotspur use Dynamic Yield to offer our fans a personalised experience when they visit tottenhamhotspur.com, shop.tottenhamhotspur.com and experience.tottenhamhotspur.com.
The tool allows us to quickly and easily make changes to the UX and saves the Club money in otherwise development costs.

Our biggest driver of revenue has been our focused recommendations to drive sales of personalised kits as well as basket add-on items.
Being able to create and share audiences between our sites has also proven invaluable in ensuring we capture key customer audiences.

  • A/B Testing - allows us to test anything and everything all over the sites.
  • Personalisation - hosting campaigns by region and using local languages to promote.
  • Triggered emails - Abandoned basket is always a sales driving mechanic that once set up can be left to pick up any potential abandoned users.
  • Reporting on A/B tests is good but where we have tests that can run for a longer period of time, the detail of the reporting can sometimes fall short.
Having a bespoke platform has meant that at times, development costs can be expensive so having a tool like Dynamic Yield has been hugely beneficial for us to make quick changes to the site that allow customers to browse and purchase seamlessly.
In football, things change quickly and having a range of different experience templates allows us to adapt quickly to these changes to ensure our fans can browse the latest products and buy confidently.

Using Dynamic Yield for A/B-testing, and to set up recommendation widgets on the website. As well as popups, notifications, some hotfixes etc. It's increadibly good to have especially for A/B testing and recommendation widgets, the filters and strategies available makes it easy to set up good widgets which displays relevant products for the customers.
  • Fast implementation
  • Wide variety of optimization options
  • User friendly
  • Fast and great customer service/support
  • Third party(adblock). If users use their adblock software and enable the option to block third-party content, then the content you apply from platforms such as DY won't show. Although this is a con, by default it's not enabled, and very few people actually use it. We have tons of content from DY and looking at the graphs of how many impressions it does, compared to page visits in Google Analytics, there's not a lot of people who miss out on DY content.
Dynamic Yield is a great tool for optimizing and displaying content to web users. It could be even better if the platform is hosted on the same domain as the website, as adblock could block content shown through Dynamic Yield.(that is only if the user knowingly goes in to the settings and disabled third party content to display)

Dynamic Yield is our third AB testing vendor. We chose them for three reasons:
  • Cost - They were way cheaper than most of the leading companies, especially at scale. Most of the others have server caps which limited us.
  • Triggers - The secret to personalization is what can you trigger off of, and of options to trigger off of, they easily had the broadest number.
  • Templates - Looking for personalization ideas; they had dozens ready to go with simple implementation.
What keeps us with them, after 1 year, though, is service. They put a high value on a great customer service relationship. Think of them like a personalization coach. Its great to have them giving us new ideas and learning a lot more from the existing ones.
  • Personalization
  • AB Testing
  • Automation & Scripts - Handlingautomated QA, etc
  • Scale - 100+ tests gets unwieldy really quickly
Well suited for any organization looking to get into personalization or AB testing.

It is currently being used for testing and optimisation by our marketing department. It helps improve our website by identifying segments and allowing us to test against these. We found our previous provider (Monetate) was more than twice the cost of Dynamic Yield and did 90% of the same things.

It has the ability to build product recommendations, but we are currently tied into a third party. We will definitely investigate using Dynamic Yield for this function too. We are currently seeing a commercial benefit to using Dynamic Yield, however the business is not able to spend enough time producing new and innovative tests.
  • It segments our performance so we can accurately measure improvements. Unlike other tools, Dynamic Yield is faster.
  • It allows you to segment for an audience and tells you how big the test audience is likely to be. This is not an easy thing to do with other platforms. You often have to run a test before you realise how big the user pool is likely to be.
  • It is more than 50% cheaper than our previous provider.
  • The Account Manager is proactive, keen, and has regular meetings with us. Other providers that I have used in the past are productive for an initial 2-3 month period then tend to go missing until renewal, and this is not the case with Dynamic Yield.
  • It would be great if you could provide 24 hour support, seven days a week UK time.
  • Devise level testing is a problem. We have built tests on mobile and tablet devices and they have not always worked as designed. On one occasion, a mobile test broke all transactional reporting (for mobile devices) in Google Analytics.
  • We feel we are missing out on hearing about tests that other Dynamic Yield customers have done. We haven't seen a lot of positive case studies of tests other customers have conducted.
it is well suited in fast pace environments. Producing tests is a lot easier if you have a dedicated front end developer who understand CSS and JavaScript.
If you need help with these technical parts, I don't believe the online support is fast enough or detailed enough to provide good advise. If you believe your website has at least 3 tests that are worthwhile to conduct you would probably pay for Dynamic Yield within 12 months. Because of the costs, it is much easier and faster to prove the product has paid for itself within a short period.

Dynamic Yield is being used only in our eCommerce department. It is helping with our conversion rate on our site as well as our retention rate for our returning customers.
  • Onsite personalization
  • Testing
  • Anal
  • Analytics
  • User experience from a marketer's perspective - there are almost too many options and capabilities, such that it is hard to accomplish everyday tasks.
Dynamic Yield is great for a company with an advanced development team who is fond of data analytics and testing. It is less appropriate for a team that does not have a dedicated person to manage the platform and a team of some well-versed developers to help.

Dynamic yield is used actually for IT and marketing solutions. In IT we use it to A/B test front end features and product recommendation. In marketing we are using it for optimization of campaigns, ad server, and CRM tools. It's helping the teams to provide real-time personalization and optimization in general terms.
  • Easy way to update content and designs
  • Content based on pre defined templates
  • Easy way to upload images and files via CDN
  • Reports are hard to understand and a short flex to measure specific KPIs
  • Data captured is 5%-10% different from what we are seeing in Google Analytics
[There are] A great number of ways to implement new features, so we have a gamma of use cases to be done. We don't recommend DynamicYield if you want to measure specific things. When the metrics are quite different than what we are seeing in other analysis tools, we can't consider the number from dynamic to be very relevant.

Dynamic Yield is being used by several departments in our e-commerce company, led by one of our product teams.

We use it for two things: i) testing different creatives, offers, UI and new or improved features, and ii) creating personalized experiences for specific audiences, whether it's geo-based targeting, traffic source based or on-site behavior.
  • Scale - most test or personalization plans are done more than once or twice. Whether it's an offer we'll promote using different banners or a notification popping up, having the ability to create templates for re-use makes it easy to clone and do a lot with 1-time development effort.
  • User experience - the whole UX is very easy similar to other known tools like Google Analytics or others, which makes it friendly and easy to use.
  • Performance segmented by an audience - one of my personal favorites is the ability to review a test's performance by pre-defined audiences.
  • Some tests result in an insignificant change/uplift, but! when examining its results for specific audiences you'll always find some groups of users that have benefited from the offer from the new experience and keep it live only for them. No test should end without an uplift.
  • Focused on e-commerce - it's clear to see that Dynamic Yield's focus is on e-commerce, which has been great for us.
  • Starting from e-commerce focused reporting and analytics, pre-made templates for experiences that are known to be best practices for leading an e-commerce site at your finger tips, and streamlined e-commerce focused targeting capabilities, KPIs and objectives.
  • Maturity - though DynamicYield's solution answers most of our needs, it's clear to see that the solution is relatively "young". - There are many things missing or lacking. Most aren't crucial, yet altogether it has a great impact on our ability to make the most out of the solution.
  • Up to a 10 minute wait until an experience is published - we double check and QA each new experience we publish using Dynamic Yield and have to wait 10 minutes each time. We click the "Publish" button until it's online and ready for our QA; might seem petty yet it's the #1 time-consuming issue we've suffered from, especially when creating/editing experiences and publishing it for tests dozens of times. At times, this has cost us 3-4 days for things that should have taken less than 1 day.
  • Test and personalization management - we run many tests and personalizations and there's no one place like a centralized report or a dashboard for a quick review of all running experiences, either for one of our sites as well as all together. Dynamic Yield's solution currently makes you go one-by-one and check each experience's performance at a time.
Looking for personalizing your site like Amazon? Testing new offers, creatives, new or improved features? Go for it.

Looking for a simple, code-less tool for testing banners and texts - use something simpler and cheaper.
To leverage Dynamic Yield's solution will require front-end abilities and effort. I'd say that the minimum should be around 25% of a front-end developer's time.

We use Dynamic Yield to power custom content inclusions on our pages, either conditionally by custom audience or according to user demographics (i.e. location, device). We also use Dynamic Yield to serve creatives to promote publication subscription, A/B testing them for best CTRs and order completions.
  • A/B Testing of Creative - this feature allows us to trial multiple creatives and messages without having to force a choice between any one. This gives us much greater freedom in messaging and improves our development workflow by not artificially restricting our choices.
  • Audience Segmentation - We can segment our audience based on behavior (social sharing, content consumption rates, etc.) and target them with messaging specific to their interests. We can then provide reports on how different audience segments are interacting with our content, and especially how our differentiated messaging is helping to improve those interaction rates.
  • Display Ads - We have used this feature to create display ads that run through our ad system, but they allow us greater flexibility to A/B test creative. We have also used this to provide retargeting or purchased ads to third parties, and this give us much more control over the deployment and testing of creatives without needing to send the third-party new ad codes.
  • The analytics of Dynamic Yield are not very clear, and do not always match up even closely with our Google Analytics. Their measuring criteria is different, so I understand the discrepancies, but it sometimes causes problems for me when producing reports from both systems and having to explain why the numbers are so far off.
  • The documentation is not always very helpful. It provides basic instructions on how to do things in the interface, but does not provide nearly enough specific examples on how to set things up. For most things beyond a simple setup, I have to get in touch with my CSM, and this is problematic in cases where I need to be able to act quickly.
  • I have encountered problems using templates for the Site Personalization. Specifically, when updating a template, it takes a very long time for the actual code deployments to update, if at all. Most of the time, if I do want to change a template, I have to uncouple the variation from the template, make the changes, and then save a new template.
I think this is very well suited for publishers or agencies with limited technical resources. After implementing, someone with skills in HTML, CSS and Javascript could perform a vast array of tasks with Dynamic Yield that would otherwise require custom development from a larger and/or more skilled team. In that sense, I think that Dynamic Yield presents an opportunity to reduce or limit HR costs. It is very useful in situations where the messaging needs to be customized for different audience segments, whatever they may be. In publishing, we have different groups of people who are very passionate about specific topics, and it's very useful for us to be able to target our messaging or offerings to them in language and in visuals that they identify with.
