Overall Satisfaction with Monetate

It was on-boarded at my current company before I started, to improve customer experience and test conversion rate optimisation hypotheses.

Experiences were set up to improve product discovery, increase use of site search and to improve conversion through promotional periods.
Some a/b tests were enabled, however the majority of experiences on site had no control, so we had no comparison or variance data.
  • Tested a variety of theories
  • Created experiences focused in different parts of the website, homepage, PLP and PDP
  • Little to no analysis provided by CSM on experiences
  • A lot of experiences were created without a control, so there was no data comparison to give clear insight
  • Shocking communication, often over promised and under delivered
  • Found the Monetate dashboard hard to use, confusing and unclear where to find key information
  • Unfortunately with such lack of support, we were unable to create any experiences independently
  • No clear analysis was gained from the tests performed (as they were often created without a control) and no analysis was reported back from Monetate, so I am unable to comment.
Often ignored my emails, spoke to me in an unprofessional manager. Constantly over-promised and under delivered.

Provided no analysis or reporting to me after asking multiple times.
You can work out some sections of Monetate if you spend a lot of time trying to understand it.

No

No

Did implementation of Monetate go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Monetate again?

No

Unfortunately we had a really poor experience with Monetate. Unprofessional, poor communicators and provided no analysis and insight into experiences and tests after I asked multiple times. The platform is quite overwhelming and setting up an experience involves the user going into several different sections on site. Overall, would not recommend them after the experience we had.
