We utilize Optimizely to test our clients UX on the Magento platform. It is easy to install and there is a handy module for Magento that makes it easy for clients to add the snippet to their site. Optimizely is very easy to use and even better if you have jQuery knowledge. It loads fast and allows you to test many things on the site without a lot of overhead and minimal effort. If you are a savvy user it is easy to work with. If someone isn't savvy and tries to use the editor there is a risk of breaking your site. For example, if working with a product detail page template, be wary of using their WYSIWYG editor on any dynamic information like pricing. It can turn it into a static html element on the page. Overall it's a great tool that allows you to be nimble with your testing and has great reporting on the results of your test.
  • Test setup is easy and doesn't take a lot of company resources.
  • The impact on page speed is incredibly small.
  • The results dashboard gives great insights to how your test is performing and you can track multiple goals.
  • I'd like to see more tools comparable to Visual Website Optimizer (VWO). Like user recordings and in page analytics.
  • If you have a dynamic area of information and edit it you pose a risk to making the page templates dynamic data static across the site. Pricing is a great example of this.
If you want better insight into how users are specifically interacting with a page, a different tool would be able to do this whereas Optimizely is lacking.
  • Increased click through rates from homepages for clients.
  • Improved conversion rates from product detail pages.
  • Tested category pages and increased conversions.
Optimizely is lacking a lot of the tools that VWO offers. My favorite being user recordings because of the valuable insight you get on the UX.

None, but they change their pricing structure too often and we are considering other vendors.
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was a small part of the implementation and was well-handled
  • None.
If you use Magento they have a module to help with implementation.
  • Self-taught
It was easy and I became Optimizely platform certified.
The configuration is right for the product.
Implement the snippet high up in the <head> so you avoid any flashing while loading the test.
No - we have not done any customization to the interface

I've only had to use it a couple of times but response time isn't the fastest.
No
They provided a great detailed explanation on testing pricing using a workaround method.
  • Changing static text or css elements.
  • Viewing the results. They are easy to interpret.
  • Editing anything dynamic.

It is easy to use and quickly learn. Setup is simple with the snippet and tracking is easy to interpret.
