Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Content Management System

Our company uses Optimizely Content Management System for all website content on our D2C/loyalty website and our B2B website, and our non-profit Foundation site.

Pros

  • Publish once update everywhere
  • Scheduled content
  • Ease of use for authors and site managers
  • Flexible layout to build blocks for any use case

Cons

  • It would be nice to have out of the box blocks that can be aligned with our look and feel
  • Cannot see where content is used within catalog
  • Would be great to search images/blocks (might be an issue in our implementation)
  • Time and money saved deploying content- previously created distinct microsites for each campaign
  • Speed to market improved as we can adjust content when needed
  • D2C website sales improved due to better website look, feel, content accuracy
I think the CMS is easy to use but took a few points off for some of the items I mentioned earlier related to ease of search for content authors.
We chose Optimizely (at the time Episerver) after rigorous evaluation and due to overall impression that it was the right long term fit.
