Monetate vs Optimizely – Experimentation

After the acquisition, Monetate has been implemented into the testing, experimentation and personalisation side of the KIBO technology. The downfall of the system is the need for a third party CMS to be set up, integrated, trained and maintained. This adds an additional overhead for organisations in subscription fees and training time. It also restricts the CMS selection process as the software needs to be integratable.

Optimizely is famously known for its history with A/B and multivariate testing, allowing organisations to find what works best for their customers, and achieve the best ROI on all marketing decisions. The features mentioned above are available in an accessible and easy to learn one-stop-shop Optimizely solution.

Optimizely Suite gives customers access to the perfect tools for internet acceleration in the modern marketing climate. Alongside this, the further ability to integrate the Optimizely software with third party applications through APIs such as Google Analytics or Docker, can elevate the work quality of teams across organisations.
