What do you like best about Webtrends Optimize?

One of Webtrends Optimize's strongest areas is in their account management, consultancy and strategy. The overall planning, project management, hitting of deadlines, and the collaborative approach is second-to-none - all with a customer-centric attitude. Being able to pull from their pool of experience is of great benefit, especially when the account managers are experienced across such a huge range of different e-commerce businesses. Their developers haven't failed any tasks - even incredibly complex personalisation pieces that required bespoke development. Webtrends Optimize are now fully embedded, helping our business to shape and implement our online optimisation and personalisation strategy.

2024 Update: We've now been working with Webtrends Optimize for 7 years. They're still contributing a huge return on investment every single year without fail and have shaped so much of our customer facing development in this time.

2025 Update: Another rewarding year working with Webtrends Optimise. With a record-breaking ROI from the last 12 months and some incredible insights gathered on our customers. Most notable in the last 12 months, Webtrends Optimize helped us create a "Fill my basket" functionality, that automatically populates a customers basket with up to 12 wines specifically matched to their buying preference, greatly reducing speed to purchase. The function is now being used by 12% of our site visitors. Optimisations in the final stage of the checkout have also proved highly beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webtrends Optimize?

After 8 years, still nothing to dislike. Can't imagine life without them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Webtrends Optimize:

If you're looking for expert consultancy to help shape and implement your online optimisation and personalisation strategy and establish a test and learn culture, while delivering a ROI and a better experience for your customers - the I'd personally choose Webtrends Optimize. Webtrends Optimise came highly recommended to us, and we can highly recommend Webtrends Optimise too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webtrends Optimize solving and how is that benefiting you?

Over the last 3 years we've completed over 35 projects together. This has led to an increase in customer satisfaction, conversion rate and bottom line profits. Aside from optimising layout and functionality, the most impressive projects we've done together have been hugely complex personalisation pieces that have greatly improved the overall online experience for our customers.

2024 Update: 7 years in, we've now run in excess of 80 experiments together and are now planning huge improvements to our recommendations and site search.

2025 Update: We've now competed 110 tests and have dozens more in the roadmap. The velocity is fantastic. These aren't just button colour or copy tests either, these are complex pieces of customisation and personalisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Webtrends Optimize?

Webtrends Optimize offers us an additional layer of options for improving our supporters' user journey and enhancing engagement across our website, as well as the websites for some of our external vendors. Their platform is incredibly easy to use, and if I do ever have any questions their team is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webtrends Optimize?

Being pedantic, WTO can take a little while to get to grips with. However, they have recently worked on improvements to aid functionality and the UX of the platform has improved substantially recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webtrends Optimize solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main focus for us is helping conversions for users wishing to buy tickets to our matches. The user journey on our external ticketing partner's website has been problematic for some of our fans, but through WTO we have been able to test various enhancements to the user journey, such as adding navigational aides, countdown timers, pop-up banners and so on. The success we have seen in a short space of time has been exponential, and a lot of these enhancements would never have been possible if it wasn't for WTO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Webtrends Optimize?

The results of experiments is very useful, you can track certain elements too which come up in the results section - we use this often to show our clients the results of experiments. It is really easy for our clients to implement on their websites and the level of customer support is amazing. We use it on a daily basis to check on experiments running and our devs build experiments within the tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webtrends Optimize?

The flicker can sometimes be a downside to using WTO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webtrends Optimize solving and how is that benefiting you?

We work with a lot of clients that want to make changes on the website, many changes you can make on a website can actually harm conversion, so we test these changes to ensure it doesnt harm their conversion rate. We also run research and come up with ideas to test; without saying "you should make this change to your website" we test it first to understand the impact it will have.

What do you like best about Webtrends Optimize?

- All features are included in one very reasonable price. No need to upgrade to access personalisation, survey tools, social proof or product recommendations.

- The recently upgraded interface is great and has solved a lot of the issues that I used to have with the tool.

- Responsive customer service

- The upgraded reporting dashboard is best in class. Easy segmentation and customisation makes it easy to monitor and report on test results.

- Good for entry level companies but also very powerful options for those with more advanced needs.

- If you can think of something you'd like to use the tool for it's very likely that they can work with you to set it up and create something custom that fills your needs.

- Easy and quick implementation and WTO will work with you to validate event setup and make sure that everything is working as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webtrends Optimize?

- Setting up custom goals for each test is still a bit complicated. It's possible but using the advanced editor for it isn't very intuitive and can be confusing at the start

- The documentation needs some work, it's not always easy to find answers if you're stuck but the customer service makes up for some of this issue.

- There are still some confusing parts of setting up a test using the advanced editor but I assume that this might come next after the upgrade to the dashboard and reporting interfaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webtrends Optimize solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an agency we work with multiple clients that have very different needs. Webtrends Optimize suits companies across the entire scale of CRO maturity. From companies just starting with AB testing to those who need very complicated and bespoke solutions involving personalisation, product recommendations and social proof that combines things like offline data feeds, real time information etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Webtrends Optimize?

I have been using Webtrends as part of an agency for the past three years, and among the various tools I have encountered, this platform stands out as my preferred choice. I rely on Webtrends on a nearly daily basis, and its user-friendly interface, along with its seamless A/B testing capabilities, has significantly simplified the process of setting up experiments, eliminating unnecessary complexities.

The suite of built-in tools provided by Webtrends allows us to efficiently work with diverse website structures, including single-page applications, without encountering any major challenges. I have complete confidence in this product’s ability to support me as a developer in delivering high-quality testing for our websites. Webtrends has consistently proven its value by driving meaningful results in the past, reinforcing my trust in its capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webtrends Optimize?

There's nothing much I can dislike about webtrends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webtrends Optimize solving and how is that benefiting you?

Webtrends Optimize effectively addresses several key challenges associated with A/B testing and website optimization. One of the primary issues it solves is the complexity involved in setting up and managing tests across different types of websites, including dynamic and single-page applications. Its intuitive interface and robust built-in tools eliminate the technical hurdles that often accompany experimentation, allowing me to focus on optimizing performance rather than dealing with implementation challenges.

What do you like best about Webtrends Optimize?

They're extremely responsive and quick on the mark to help fix any errors/issues you might be having. Always engaging with your suggestions/requests which is extremely helpful in stressful situations. A lot of our tests can come in very last minute but Sandeep and the team are always on the ball to help out when we need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webtrends Optimize?

Sometimes we can run into errors whilst saving tests which can be frustrating at times but this would still fall back on what I also like about the company with them being very quick to respond should these errors come about. We could put this down to the amount of tests we have running though throughout the months/year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webtrends Optimize solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were experiencing quite a few problems with the UI previously which we mentioned to the team. WebTrends went so far as to bring in a UI designer to recreate the interface and also listened to our requests/suggestions. I believe this is still an ongoing process but it goes to show that it's a company that really values their customers opinions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Webtrends Optimize?

As a developer I use the advanced editor the most - the UI is really intuitive and there is enough freedom but with some nice features in there to cover any ‘gotchas’ or allow you to sense check what you are building. The UI also looks pretty good in the visual editor too and having had a play around can see the appeal of that to the marketing guys etc.

NB the new UI update is very easy to use and looks great. The integration is smooth and they have great customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webtrends Optimize?

Nothing major but there were a couple of things I flagged up which I thought could be improved and they have already been implemented

NB the new UI update has resolved any issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Webtrends Optimize solving and how is that benefiting you?

To be able to optimise the content within our site and roadtest their product to see how robust and adaptable it is - we were impressed with the capabilities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
