To be honest,beginners may find Optimizely's interface to be a little confusing at first.It is quite strong,but it requires practice and commitment to learn all of its nuances.
It can seem like putting together a complicated IKEA bookcase to set up Optimizely.Developer intervention is often necessary for extensive customization,even though pre-built templates and integrations can facilitate the initial steps.There are so many configuration options that a novice could get lost.
Optimizely,s support team are,when you can get through to them,enlightened and accommodating.But contacting them can be difficult due to lengthy wait times and a convoluted ticketing process.When you need to stop during a fast-paced ride,imagine that the repair manual is written in a foreign language and the mechanics are overworked.

For testers like me , Optimizely's feature set is impressive,but its complexity hurts.Updates often break current tests,necessitating ongoing rework.Combining it with other tools can be challenging due to awkward APIs and incompatible workflows.It's as if we are constantly falling behind and hoping for greater steadiness and seamless connectivity.Its power unfortunately comes at the expense of tester sanity and agility.

It still requires a familiarity with web architecture and design fundamentals. It will give a lot of the tools, but users should have an appropriate background to build a functional website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
it’s smooth and accessible for both tech and non-tech users, which makes collaboration easy. For me as a developer, Optimizely’s flexibility and scalability stand out. Built on .NET, it’s highly customizable, and the modular setup simplifies integration and feature development. Plus, the extensive API documentation and strong community support make it easy to get answers and optimize projects quickly.
It’s just a well-rounded platform that scales well and keeps both content editors and developers happy. :-) Love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The licensing costs can be a hurdle for smaller projects or clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Base on on the successful Microsoft .NET Core foundation. Integration is possible to common RESTful APIs in addition to highly complex systems. UI and UX makes learning, managing and authoring content easy. Active developers community and MPVs make it possible to learn from others. Creating new builds is quick and easy to setup and deploy to the hosted DXP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Support knowledge and expertise between product developers and support with latest tools and builds could be stronger. Manual data import and export through the CMS is sometimes faulty. Upgrades to online services like GraphQL are fairly quick but documentation may be slow to appear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The complexity. More often than usual, I find myself going back to watch vidoes or requesting for technical help/support. So if they can make series of step by step guides, then it would be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Ease in Management - It is a easily navigatable platform with a lag-free interface
2. Features - Big fan of the A/B testing feature which can be done without much effort and integrate with our personal systems
3. Customization - We are able to personalize what we want to have appear in pages which are easy to access Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Price - Too pricey to afford for medium sized businesses compared to competitors
2. Generic but not different - It is very similar to other systems we've seen and used, nothing out of the ordinary which stands out or justifies the spend
3. Can get complicated to use for new users who struggle to get going quick Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very easy to use and allows for easy custom coding, as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its a pricey service but worth the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use - the system is pretty self explanatory, if you have experience of other CMS such as AEM then its easy to transfer skills
Features - whilst it doesnt have all the features you may expect out of the box, there is an active and visible roadmap of support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Customer service - this is an area that needs work. The ticketing system is over complex, and often responses dont handle the issue on 1st attempt. Whilst response time is reasonable, expect to go back and forth
Implementation - this just nudges into a negative. I would recommend using a third party with experience of Optimizely in most cases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fact that it has use AI-generated insight and I also like the interface of the product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't experienced any technical downsides as of yet however I do find the cost of it a bit more pricey compared to other platforms that are out there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
