Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Content Cloud (formerly Episerver Content Cloud)

We use [Optimizely Content Cloud] as the platform for most of our sites. We started with around 10 sites and will expand in the future.
  • Best-in-class technology
  • Easy to integrate
  • Well-received by users
  • In my opinion, there is really poor support during the integration phase.
  • In my opinion, there is a lack of responsiveness by Epi support over time. Are they too busy for clients?
  • It provides high-quality technology.
  • In my opinion, its poor support and service continue to dog us. For example, our consultant (a certified Epi partner) requested support with a database issue during our upgrade, and it took weeks to get help.
The technology is fine. In my opinion, the problem is support when it is needed. As stated earlier, we continue to have to beg for a response to our requests. We are working on an upgrade, and it took weeks for our contractor (a certified Epi partner) to get help from [Episerver's] support team.
In my opinion, the [Optimizely Content Cloud] implementation team was inadequate, and it took quite a while to figure out how to sync with support.
We switched from Ektron to [Optimizely Content Cloud] 2 years ago.
