Agility vs. Optimizely One

Agility CMS is great value for money for a complete CMS solution. Overall user experience of this system is amazing for both, users as well as developers.Solid CDN, asset management, editorial features that come in very handy like content scheduling, image editing, batch publishing, are some of the plus points. Mobile support for developers has a scope for improvement though.

It is well suited for heavy-duty A/B testing where management would like to see and quantitatively determine the effect of a change. It is not so efficient to try for a single page simple form, except when the form is part of a larger workflow. The security model is not very well understood, including RBAC and protection against injection attacks.

• Can use better interface for managing test, including scheduling and notification.
• Feels too heavy for simple projects, though this isn't a factor once past the PoC stage.
• Notification on various aspects can be made more powerful and granular if such a need arise.

I am not a part of this decision process at our organization.

Support is always available and responsive when we email, responding right away that they are on the case, even if they are unable to solve the issue right away. Support will usually find the issue of our problem quickly and require minimal hand-holding, direction, or re-explanation from our team. They are knowledgeable about the platform and our instance and are able to run diagnostics with minimal information from us. When issues are resolved they always request confirmation that things are working as expected before closing out our tickets.

Agility offers a balance of simplicity and capability that other platforms don't offer. User-friendly platforms like Word Press do not offer our company the ability to fully customize our site based on our goals, but more adaptable programs like Drupal do not offer the support resources to simplify the structure of our site with pre-existing modules or professional development to meet our needs.

There is a big difference between the two: Google Optimize uses Bayesian analysis while Optimizely uses Frequenting. There is a risk of counting multiple visits. Google Optimize data isn't available instantly (if I remember correctly). Optimizely's analyses dashboard is a lot richer and offers a better experience, though it may get intimidating.

• Increased productivity and less dependency on multiple resources.
• One stop for all CMS activities which has reduced cost of procuring other tools.
• Less downtime since the support team and technical team always at our finger tips when needed.

Incentivized

• Almost immediate payoff in terms of the benefit.
• Easy to justify the TTM benefits to upper management.
• Still somewhat hard to justify ROI, though this is not my expertise.
