Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Feature Experimentation
We use Optimizely FX to roll out new features as well as run A/B tests. This ranges from testing customer value algorithms to making changes to intake forms. It is primarily used as an optimization tool, but we also use it to slowly roll out features that may be disrupting to users, to make sure the impact is minimal.
Pros
- Rule decision process
- Splitting traffic evenly
- The user interface is straight forward
Cons
- We had to create our own GA4 system to track variation assignments
- The Play/Pause button can be hard to find when looking at a specific rule
- It would be great to be able to see reports on tests without having to navigate away from the flag that it is associated with
- It has kept us from making several 7-figure mistakes
- By switching 2 questions on a form, we improved CVR by 35% in our highest revenue business unit
Optimizely FX is the only tool I've used that specifically allows for testing in the back-end. Most front end tools are great for simple tests, but there comes a time when you need to go a level deeper and that's not possible with front-end tools.
