Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Feature Experimentation

We used to switch feature flags locally and using Optimizely Feature Experimentation has been extremelly helpful to know which flags are enabled and which ones are disabled. It has been a great tool to have!

Pros

  • UI interaction
  • functionality
  • easy to understand
  • Business impact on functionalities that are risky to release
  • new members are able to onboard with product quickly - quick turnaround
The product's usability is great, it gives its users the ability to understand how it works quickly which makes it easy to onboard new members of all teams. The UI is extremely user friendly, this is great because users know how and what they are doing with the product, which reduces mistakes.
In other companies, all of the feature flag controls were done locally and it got messy after a while. There was no much control on who was doing what. With Optimizely Feature Experimentation, it is clear what feature flags are enabled and which ones are not. It is easier to understand and control our feature flags.

Would you buy Optimizely Feature Experimentation again?

Yes

It does a great job at making it easy to use and understand. The UI is very user friendly, which makes it easier for new users to pick up and understand how to use it. I think that it also separates projects very effectively which is helpful when understanding which feature flags we should enable. I also enjoy being able to set custom targets. For example, we have two code bases for 2 products. We are able to enable for 1 and not the other, or 1 fully and half of the other. This makes is super easy to roll out functionality!
