Data-driven experiments have transformed feature rollouts and now validate business impact
I feel that overall my experience with Split has been positive regarding necessary improvements, particularly around user experience and enhancements to the user interface, especially for larger teams. As experimentation programs grow, users must navigate many feature flags and different environments, so making discovery, organization, and lifecycle management more intuitive would be beneficial. While Split integrates well with many tools, additional connectivity with analytics and BI reporting platforms could provide a more seamless experience for organizations. There are areas where Split can be improved, particularly around advanced reporting and visualization capabilities. While the platform manages experiments and feature rollouts effectively, having more robust, out-of-the-box reporting options would allow business stakeholders to interpret results without relying on external tools. Additionally, as organizations grow, managing and overseeing feature flags becomes more challenging, so enhancing governance capabilities would be beneficial. In terms of user experience and integrations, I think the platform could enhance those areas as well. Users often need to navigate through a large number of feature flags as experimentation programs scale, so improvements to the user interface that simplify discovery, organization, and lifecycle management would be valuable, especially for larger teams. While Split integrates effectively with many tools, increasing connectivity with analytics and BI reporting could help organizations enhance their operations.

Has supported container-based deployments and improved infrastructure visibility through monitoring tools
Aria Operations, formerly known as VMware vRealize Operations, has been renamed to vROps. We are currently using this for monitoring purposes. For orchestration, we are using VCD to automate Telco Cloud. VCD is an automation tool, and we are also using VMware Tanzu Platform for the Kubernetes environment, alongside TKG, Tanzu Kubernetes Grid. These are also other solutions for the Tanzu Kubernetes environment. For Telco Cloud, we are using it to automate our company's operations, which is for a telecom company. We are familiar with these products, especially vCenter, ESXi, VCD, vCF, and vROps. It is very easy to integrate applications when we deploy vCenter and ESXi since we can enable vSphere with Tanzu feature. We can build namespaces and provide application developers the platform to deploy their applications on pods within containerization. We can easily manage, pull results, and create containers efficiently, making it a simple way to handle applications. We provide namespace labels for application developers, and we can manage their resources along with other aspects easily. Regarding security, we use many tools such as CDX and LDAP, AD for integrating our Kubernetes cluster with the developer teams. We can manage roles and permissions simply. It is very straightforward to integrate with EDX and other third-party tools, Active Directory, to the Kubernetes cluster, allowing easy access and management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Split is a great way to handle the config based on checks and in a dynamic way if you want to control your software without doing any deployment."
"Split has increased some of our CVR; for example, in a recent pop-up model experiment, our conversion was around 15% and once we started the experiment, the on-variant won by increasing the CVR up to 35%, making it a really good tool for determining which particular feature would deliver the expected CVR."
"Split has positively impacted my organization by improving both developer experience and customer experience."
"Split facilitated a culture of data-driven decision-making, allowing us to validate our ideas and providing measurable outcomes for decisions."
"The observability platform and end-to-end service portal provided by Tanzu are the most valuable features."
