Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Content Management System
I use Op CMS for our website. The product addresses providing a system that was customized specifically for our team.
- Somewhat easy for non designers/developers to use.
- Has blocks so users must work within our brand guidelines.
- I find the UI clunky.
- We have several features that don't work (like preview or visualization icons for blocks).
- Updated javascript on cms is complicated.
- I find other platforms easier to use.
- Complicated our web development.
- Blocks and organization has become confusing.
- Too many cooks in our kitchen.
CMS and Experimentation.
I haven't fully explored the Experimentation to report - but I'm excited to use it.
I joined the team after the CMS was implemented - I found it complicated when I arrived even though I have worked in other CMSs in the past - Optimizely was new to me.
I find the CMS not as user-friendly as other platforms (from a designer's perspective).
