Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Optimizely is a great product that has inspired a great community and is the standard for A/B testing."
"Customer service is excellent!"
"Optimizely can work for a lot more things than only testing; it is a pretty easy yet powerful tool."
"ROI: Infinite! (Got 3X conversion improvement using suggestions given by the product during the free evaluation period)"
"Customer service is wonderful."
"Customer service is the best in the testing industry; transparent support along with a very strong community."
"Dead simple A/B testing with no code knoweldge needed."
"All the business intelligence included in the tool gives more information about the cycle of the sales stage."
"What I found most valuable in Salesforce CRM is its reporting feature because it's extensive and it's very accurate."
"What I found most valuable in Salesforce CRM is its reporting feature because it's extensive and it's very accurate. I also like that you can move opportunities by stages. I find that feature very important and very useful because it helps you understand where opportunities get stuck, and at what stage it is currently."
 

Cons

"Exporting statistics provide more statistical data."
"There were previously issues with experiments saving as expected in Classic."
"Better communication with 3rd party implementation"
"Does not allow multipage variants (i.e. allows only variants in elements inside one page)."
"Verifying goals could be easier."
"When testing images or anything involving JavaScript or more than text, they can really slow down the load performance of a page."
"An area for improvement in Salesforce CRM is that there's still a lot of manual input you need to make. If it could pick up things automatically from an email and auto-populate, that would make the tool better. Another area for improvement is that the Salesforce CRM connector for G-suite does not work effectively."
"The support for Salesforce CRM was not very prompt. It took us a lot of time to receive support."
"The user interface can be improved."
