“Optimizely Offers Extensive Content Features With a Steep Learning Curve for Some”

3.0
Jan 16, 2026
Optimizely's content tools are overall very good but takes a little time to get up to speed. I also think there is actually a lot more capability than I need, so for someone who is a bit more technical and looking for advanced options, this is a good choice.

    Really strong testing platform, but high price point

    Jan 29, 2026
    Optimizely is arguably the best testing platform available. It's intuitive to use with a good onboarding process. You have the flexibility to create custom metrics and audiences to cater to your business objectives. The reporting is very good as well and allows you to make confident declarations of your tests. It is expensive however.
