Everyone in my team contributes to it, from the IT to merchandiser to marketing; and we look at how it can improve our revenue, user retention and loyalty.
In our retail group we're the only one doing e-commerce so DY is not used by other departments.,The many design templates we can choose, it really saves time for our graphics designer.
The ease of reading information on dashboard and reports.
All our problems are addressed, from increasing newsletter subscribers to personalizing the product selection.,Integrating newsletter (MailChimp in particular) API to DY can use a little bit more guidance.
Some currency functions (ours is Indonesian Rupiah) does not work properly.
Product recommendations section for 'similarity : needs to address the fact that they cannot accept multi-categories of each product. e.g. a shirt can be categorized as a 'top' category but will also fit into 'vacation wear', 'sale', etc.,7,Increase in customer loyalty and returning customers within recent months.
No significant increase in revenue (yet) as we're only running for 3+ months.

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

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,8,With Dynamic Yield, we were able to test the newsletter pop-up delays to find the most optimal timing.,Sitecore Web Content ManagementJessendra LokeDynamic Yield's very user-friendly2018-11-23T17:17:52.083ZVarious teams in my organisation use Dynamic Yield - the A/B testing team, onsite team and CRM. Dynamic Yield helps us seek out opportunities; shows how we can optimise our performance, helps us manage our onsite banners (easier to make frontend edits), and we load our newsletter lead generation pop-ups using this platform.,Great user interface, very intuitive. I hadn't used any similar platforms before, but I know how to use Dynamic Yield without referring to any guide.
24/7 support team available, so it's easy to reach out whenever we encounter a problem. And we can arrange for a call to share screens if it's hard to explain over messages.
Up to date with product features, always striving to get feedback from customers on what they want to see, then building it

However, with the script implemented, load time can be longer,Tealium iQ Tag Management System,Tealium iQ Tag Management SystemGrace LeeGood product from a new provider!2018-11-20T17:13:51.581ZIt 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.,8,It's too early to tell as we have only been using it for 4 months, but signs are positive for ROI
We believe that 3 tests will pay for Dynamic Yield in a 12 month period.
ROI can afford to be 50% less than with our previous provider because Dynamic Yield is so much cheaper.,Qubit, Webtrends Analytics and Monetate,Google AnalyticsRita PatelDynamic Yield almost too good for everyday use2017-08-01T22:01:41.059ZDynamic Yield is being used only in our eCommerce department.

It help us provide dynamic content on the site, a/b test UX hypothesis and make personalised product recommendations.,Targeting of the experiments is very flexible, powerful and reliable
Platform UX is very intuitive and flexible to your own needs of structure
The process to activate an experiment end to end is very agile, the preview mode is also very helpful,Data feed infrastructure is not lean, but it works just fine, especially when you require it to support localised content for multiple domains and your product have a lot of attributes
Doesn't support a backend API yet, but I am aware that it's on the way. It will be very helpful for page Load performance and SEO of the content provided by Dynamic Yield
Doesn't support negative engagement with products or product attributes, as yet,9,Reduce the dependence from engineering team to experiment different variations of an element that is already implement through Dynamic Yield. To do so, you need to define the scope of the experiments very well before development

There are some little things lagging, but the majority of the platform and company are great. I am very happy with them as our current personalization platform. Dynamic Yield allows us to create personalization flows for customers from any channel, and leverages customer preferences for a more personalized experience. Right now it is only the marketing team leveraging DY, but I am excited to see how we can fold it into the rest of the company teams. It is also a great tool for running our A/B tests. We run several a week.,AB Testing
Personalization Flows
User Support
My CSM is amazing. Really dedicated to making sure I get the most out of DY, my tests, and working with my organization.
Personalization through product feeds and the level of complexity is amazing. You can target based off of weather, which is amazing. You can set up product type and actions to define your flows fairly easily, but again, my CSM was very helpful here.
Auto Allocate is a great feature.
Audience Manager is pretty cool. Allows you to define audiences also based off product feed and event actions.
The 24/7 support is very impressive. Their chat is great at helping you overcome small issues or answering questions.,Code editor is a little wonky, so best to write your code elsewhere and the paste into DY. I wish there was an editor similar to the one Optimizely has for setting up tests. I'm sure this is something I will see down the road.
Implementation (Was very smooth though, but this can always be improved)
Mobile view for editing experience.
Requires a developer for a lot of aspects. Not completely plug and play depending on how your site is built.,9,Conversion

It’s a great tool for content management. The tool will choose the best performances and/or A/B test your content on the fly.

It all depends on the heaviness of usage.,7,It gives the possibility (using all products they offer) to personalize your whole website experience.

By playing campaigns it can increase the RPU and ROI for each marketing channel separately.Dorota BisonGenerally good results and good support2018-10-17T15:53:46.406ZWe have been using DY for product recommendations (in Homepage, product detail page and pages with products sold out - each one with different strategies and audiences), AB tests on the website, and a few out of the box templates by DY, like the social proof widget. We also implemented Newsletter subscription with good results. Basically, it is used by Marketing with the help of IT to set up some experiments.,Product Recommendations - we had designed similar widgets as we had in our page, and input different strategies, e.g. new users will see recommended products with strategy of most popular and/or automated, while recurrent users are seeing recently viewed items strategy. The widgets are running at home page, product page and sold out products page.
Newsletter subscription templates, and we can test with different experiences of the user.
Can easily try different elements in the nav bar
Can easily try different layout of the cart page
Custom actions tests,Logic on the strategies for companies with unique items (e.g. where most popular or bought together categories do not work)
In some cases we need to involve our developers in the elements selector or some formatting CSS code.,8,Recommendations pdp is up 400% using a similarity strategy based on the product that is seen.
Social proof - similar results, since we had some complaints about our similarity strategy, we decided to stop the social proof pop-up.
Newsletter subscription is up 10%, so we are fairly happy with these results.,Emarsys and OptimizelyDiogo Gomes PioDynamically Serve Up Relevant Content to Your Variety of Audiences (and their needs!)2018-10-15T17:01:06.844ZDynamic Yield is great for providing personalized dynamic content to any audience that you can specify.

It resolves the business issue of: How do you serve unique and relevant content to a wide variety of audiences that come from a wide variety of marketing sources.,Targeting Different Audiences

It's an easy-to-use and robust tool that helps us improve our overall site.

Plus, their out-of-the-box templates helps us get tests up quickly and seamlessly.,Easy-to-use

Doesn't allow for a data deep-dive,8,DY has helped us increase our conversion rate,,Dynamic YieldJake MadoffGreat tool for AB testing and personalisation2018-12-03T16:27:59.393ZDynamic 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.,8,Improved customer experience - We are able to show relevant content and offers to the right customer based on Dynamic Yield's targeting capabilities.
Scalability - Scaling with Dynamic Yield is easy once the experience is implemented. We are able to create many variations on top of our experiences based and iterate on our tests quicker than before.
Personalisation is becoming a key strategic focus - Dynamic Yield has proved to be a strategic partner when it comes to bringing our business forward with personalisation. Not only are we able to disseminate the benefits we've gained to our company, but also the industry.,Braze (formerly Appboy),Braze (formerly Appboy), JIRA Software, TrelloVerified UserTesting & Personalization with Dynamic Yield2017-07-10T19:43:37.713ZWe use Dynamic Yield within our product department to run A/B testing for our consumer experiences, and surface targeted on-site merchandising and promotion messaging in coordination with our marketing department.,Easy self-service platform.
Prebuilt templates, and ability to create more, makes repeated tests or messaging easy for marketers to set up without needing engineers.
Account managers are actively involved in client success beyond implementation.,We have experienced some minor bugs with the platform and the plugin, but tech support seems responsive to those issues.
A way of connecting to clients' own APIs for testing product recommendations or allowing for more types of product feeds would be helpful.
As a client, would like to see more information provided for upcoming features and roadmap or have input into what those are.,8,The primary impact we have seen from using the product has been the ability to remove the traditional engineering workflow for many Product and Marketing needs into a self-service platform. Where we would previously need to make requests for our developers to build out things that may not be kept around long-term, or have them help with difficult implementations and workarounds in other platforms, Dynamic Yield offers an option to utilize pre-built templates or have our engineers help with upfront building of reusable templates. This process is far less costly and reduces the amount of code in our codebase that was being used for one-time marketing messages, testing, and so on.,Optimizely, Monetate, Maxymiser and EvergageRachel McDonnellDynamic Yield is a game changer2017-06-15T21:07:31.586ZWe 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.,10,Positive impact has been felt in our ability to A/B test promotional creatives in real-time, thus reducing the amount of time and cost incurred in developing and testing creatives in sequence, one at a time.
Positive impact has been felt in using targeted messaging to increase our subscriptions to products like newsletters, podcasts, or social media,Boomtrain and Optimizely,Wayin, lynda.com, WordPressDavid LindseyOnly just scraping the surface!2017-08-02T18:09:22.268ZCurrently we are using Dynamic Yield to make changes to recommendation logics with little to no involvement from our internal development team. It also allows me to test these logics against each other immediately which in turn makes optimizations a lot faster and allows me to do them at scale. It is currently being used by our merchandising team for this but there are other teams in the process of getting trained (such as marketing and purchasing) who will use various tools Dynamic Yield provides.,Little to no internal development resources required post initial integration.
Do not need to know how to write code - great for merchandisers!,The user flows can be a little difficult to follow at first.
Naming conventions are key if you plan to use this tool at scale.,8,We are looking to grow return customers and increase AOV - it is too early to tell if these objectives have been met as we have only recently launched, but from what we have seen the results look promising and we have only touched the surface on the tools' capabilities and configuration.,,BloomReach, MagentoBrianna McMillanTesting Dynamic Yield on a news website2017-07-31T23:44:46.384ZWe are currently testing Dynamic Yield on a few departments. It helps us to provide customized news and features (like buttons) to our readers - thus helping us get more committed readers and more advertisers' money. It also helps us to A/B test new features.,If you are technically skilled, you can do lots of stuff with Dynamic Yield and you get lots of different data out of the tests.
Analyzing the basic test results is easy. When working with Google Analytics, you need to have more skills.
The tests work quite reliably, we haven't found any bigger glitches.,You need quite a lot of technical knowledge to run more complex tests, I could not do everything I wanted although I have lots of HTML experience and some JS.
There are too many different menues and functionalities that need to be used. For one of our tests I needed to use four different functions hidden behind different menues. If I remember correctly they were two different templates, custom actions and something else too.
The personalization engine should be more transparent and configurable. Now we do not know on what basis the engine makes recommendations. It would also be nice to get to adjust some variables.,8,Not that much yet since Dynamic Yield is only in use for tests on a small number of pages. But some A/B tests have provided some valuable knowledge to us which has lead to an increased amount of subscribers. Although, those A/B tests probably could have been done with our existing A/B testing software.
Our calculations based on increased CTR of pages suggest that Dynamic Yield can bring us positive business impacts if implemented site-wide.Justus ReinikainenPersonalize your customers entire journey!2017-07-07T20:01:06.867ZDynamic Yield is being used by my organisation to provide a personalised experience for users on our site, run A/B tests to decide optimal best practices and also to serve product recommendations in our in-house EDMs. The tool is managed by a single team but being used collaboratively by many different teams throughout their organisation to serve their needs.,Very easy implementation of web features (easy even for a non-technical person)
A/B testing of almost everything on the site with detailed reports
Superb round the clock support,Reports can be even more detailed with more metrics to track

Increased conversion with the easy to set up AB testsMax See Yong JunMultifunctional Marketing Tool2017-07-07T18:23:23.958ZDynamic Yield (DY) is a marketing solution implemented in our e-commerce company used for personalization of content, segmentation of users, A/B testing of messages and also as an additional CMS. The tool has been implemented onsite and will be on email as well. It has helped us understand user behaviour, inject content/messages and target specific audiences. It's being managed by the IT and marketing teams.,Flexible and intuitive tool: navigation through the tool is simple and changes can be set up in a few seconds.
Personalization: acquiring data from our customers and delivering them specific content is a plus.
All-in-one tool: DY has a wide range of functionalities and having them centralized in one specific tool is great.,Technical background needed: in order to fully manage the platform a technical background is required. Marketing teams may need tech support.
Tool still in early stages: some features are still in development and the range of templates to users is not that wide.
Visibility of changes: it can take up to 10 minutes to fully view changes implemented.,9,Reduction of costs by having one centralized tool with multiple functions,Maritza CartayaDynamic Yield Delivers Exceptional Personalization2017-07-06T20:34:44.266ZWe deployed Dynamic Yield (DY) a year ago with the intention of improving our user experience. The personalization has been fantastic, delivering product recommendations throughout the site with exceptional user engagement but we've also found the platform has been an amazing CMS for us. This has given us the ability to schedule content on our site from hero images, to promotions, notifications, promo boxes and featured items.,Product Recommendations.
Ability to A/B test experiences and testing them against a control group.
Usage as a CMS to replace the tedious work within our backend.
Weather based personalization.,Product Recommendation engine is not intuitive at first. Quite a few steps to get up and running.
Audience intelligence needs a little work when it comes to gender. Gender is determined by a contact who visits X number of men's or women's pages and X number of the other gender.,9,Positive ROI
Improved Quality of sessions (bounce rate, time on site, pages per visit, conversion rate.,Certona and Optimizely,PowerReviews, Bronto Marketing Platform, NetSuiteKelly ParkGreat platform with a lot of capabilities2017-07-06T19:37:03.212ZBasically, we integrated Dynamic Yield 2-3 months ago and my team is the pioneer for using the platform. The idea is that other departments besides our team will use the platform for creating tests and for content management.,The customer support is great! Every time I have a question or something is not clear, the CSR response is fast and efficient.
The knowledge center is well organised and clear. You can find a lot of data there.
The platform is user-friendly. Great interface.,It takes 5-10 min from "publish" to "live on site".
Once the content is "live" we can't pause it - we have to archive it.
These two reasons make the QA process inefficient and very time-consuming.
Also there is a problem to manage many sites in parallel. Its good to have the separation between sites but we should have a way to manage our account cross-site.
It's hard to connect between different experiences but we're using evaluators to do so. The only problem is that the report on the platform is per experience and we can't see one report for several experiences.,9,Basically, we're still in the implementation stage so it's hard to tell. Also, I think it'll be a challenge to measure the ROI due to the lack of product funnel reporting.
For sure there is a positive effect since when we test a new feature, and we see for example that it doesn't harm our KPIs, it's great!
It's good not only for increasing our KPIs, but also for decision monitoring.,vwo and Monetate,JIRA Service Desk, JIRA SoftwareOfir HoffmanFlexible marketing (product) tool2017-07-06T17:46:30.871ZWe are using Dynamic Yield (DY) for:
- website campaigns - We are using overlays such as email capture and conversion campaigns and we are targeting by multiple user groups. We plan to use DY in the future for product recommendations on our page as well- email campaigns - only product recommendations,Flexible product - with a few clicks (and sometimes a bit of code) it's quick to build and deploy a targeted campaign.
Extensive list of functionalities - we can use DY to manage and target all onsite campaigns, product recommendations both web and on email and soon also use them for trigger emails.,It requires the support of a technical person on our team. There are not many templates and those that exist are not easy to change without getting on the code. For us it is not a problem as we have a large tech team, but it can be a limitation if you do not know and don't have a technical person to support you.
Coordination with support team could be faster - our communication is good and response times as well. We have an open line of communication with our customer success team, virtually 24/7. However, their tech team takes time to respond, which poses a difficulty whenever there's a technically more challenging question to answer or problem to solve (their tech team sits in Israel, 9-10 h difference to our local time).,9,DY meant a significant reduction in cost vs. the tools we were previously using, without affecting overall performance
Additionally we gained capacity to run other types of campaigns we could not previously (e.g. targeting banners),Valter RoldãoRecommended.2017-07-06T15:32:48.739ZDynamic 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.,9,Onboarding a new third party tool like Dynamic Yield in a new company takes a lot of effort. It's not something you just happen to do. It requires planning, implementation, training, defining new work procedures and workflows, knowledge management and more, thus requires great human resources as well as capital.
Having a positive ROI is first up to you. If you'll use it right and use it much, your user experience and online business performance will improve.
Assuming your business is big enough, your ROI will be positive.,Maxymiser, Monetate and OptimizelyJack YulzariRecommendation, personalization and optimization... made easy2017-06-22T17:23:22.723ZDynamic Yield is the platform we choose for adding personalization and optimization to our e-commerce. Regarding optimization, we developed a set of new features that we wanted to test from a business perspective, to understand how much they would have impacted the user behavior. Basically, we used Dynamic Yield for A/B testing a few solutions.
Another feature we used a lot is the recommendation engine: we add the recommendation widget in a number of pages, adding more engaging content for the users, and testing different strategies, like similar products, most viewed, bought together, and so on. In our company, the solution hypothesis is prepared by marketing team and IT team, while the implementation and future analysis are run by IT team.,What we love the most about Dynamic Yield is how easy it is to create experiments that let us compare 2 or more variations. The feature of targeting the right users/pages/context for the experiment cover pretty much everything we wanted and the process of setting it up is very easy.
The recommendation engine is another feature that we love. It's very easy to try different strategies to understand what performs best in each case, and using the templates you can save tons of work to set up new recommendation experiments (yes, every feature is an experiment from now on). Moreover, the direct revenue and assisted revenue metrics gives great insight on what is just holding the user on the site and actually shows what users wanted to buy (both are great results though).
The possibilities to define goals based on custom javascript events made the platform very flexible and lets you create custom goals (different from the abused conversion rate or click through rate) that can be used by the engine to optimize the performance or to define the winner in an A/B test.,One thing that we find limited is the rules you can set in the strategy for recommendation. Especialy the similar products one, has the possibility to define fields that must match and field that must not match: we'd like the configuration to be more flexible.
Another thing we struggled with is the product feed. We have different price lists for different countries and we handle multiple languages. Representing all that information in one feed is pretty hard, and moreover, there's a strong limitation on the number of fields available for the feed. Basically, the product feed engine should be boosted.
Talking about the reports, it would be amazing if the system would give the result of an experiment not only viewing it for all users, but even segmenting the audiences: in this case the system let you see the raw data, but you have no indication whether the test is performing good, whether you have enough data to take decisions, and so on,9,If we were using just the recommendation widget, we would have had a ROI of 2.5x considering the whole investment on Dynaimc Yield.
