Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Web Experimentation

We've been using Optimizely for the last 2-3 years as part of our overall experimentation setup, and we're running around 50 experiments / year using it
  • Ability to set up and update / conclude experiments without any engineering support
  • Managing experiments and controlled rollouts by easily assigning feature flags and setting the percentage of traffic / users to be assigned to each variation
  • Integrating with the rest of our tech stack so new experiments set up in Optimizely are immediately pushed to our CMS and data analytics tools
  • Forcing users to select a success metric for each new experiment before being able to set it live is redundant as we don't rely on Optimizely to analyze the experiment results
  • The pricing for the product is not ideal for our company, as we pay for a large set of features that we don't use (like experiment analytics), but we don't have the option to only pay for the features we need
  • Ability to set new experiments without engineering support
  • It had a positive ROI overall

Do you think Optimizely Web Experimentation delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Optimizely Web Experimentation's feature set?

Yes

Did Optimizely Web Experimentation live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Optimizely Web Experimentation go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Optimizely Web Experimentation again?

Yes

Optimizely is great for running experiments and for having a relatively self-serve approach to setting up new experiments, but it doesn't cover all feature-flag related use cases that our team has so it might not be best suited for that for some teams at least
