Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Data Platform

We rely on Optimizely Data Platform on a daily basis to execute our email marketing plan, allowing us to adequately segment our audience for targeted communications as well as trigger automated messages like cart and browse abandonment, welcome series, win-back, and anniversary campaigns.
  • It's relatively simple to use
  • Segment building is quick and can be easily customized with field data
  • Chat support is generally fast to respond
  • Needs a more robust SMS marketing tool
  • Wish we had more control over reporting (e.g customizing the attribution model)
  • Account service has been lacking since Optimizely Data Platform takeover
  • Easy and accurate segment building
  • Control over field data creation
  • Aided us in achieving the best Black Friday/Cyber period in our company's history, with sales up over 40% YOY
Optimizely Data Platform is a natural step up from Mailchimp, with a more robust platform designed to help companies with a growing list size and send volume. Similar to Mailchimp, Optimizely Data Platform is super easy to navigate from the get-go. Ultimately, we decided to move to Optimizely Data Platform at the time due to the ease of use and value based on our use case. At the time, we knew SMS marketing was on the road map, which was an added appeal in terms of having both messaging systems under the same roof.

During high-volume communication times such as Black Friday and the holidays, Optimizely Data Platform's ability to allow us to seamlessly target (or exclude) certain audiences has enabled us to effectively interact with our customers without overdoing things. However, we would like to have the ability to send auto-order updates during peak volume times, as this would alleviate pressure on our customer service department.
