Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely
We selected Optimizely as our main tool for a/b testing after trying Google Analytics Content Experiments and Visual Website Optimizer. It's easy to use by everyone in the Marketing team so they can quickly test their ideas.
- It's very easy to use.
- Their support is excellent.
- On the technical side you add the code to the site only once and you don't have to create a new page for variation.
- With bigger sites you can reach the monthly visitors limit pretty quickly.
- We managed to increase our trial conversions.
- Google Content Experiments,Visual Website Optimizer
With GA Content Experiments you should create a new page for your variation, it doesn't really offer WYSIWYG interface where you can just make your changes. It also requires a new code to be added for each experiment. The multi-armed banded approach didn't work for us and back then they haven't released the 50:50 option.
Visual Website Optimizer is more like Optimizely, but ultimately we were impressed by their customer support.
