Considered Both Products
Experro
Chose Experro
We're strategically positioning the precise items that people are actively seeking at the forefront of their search results.
Chose Experro
So we chose Experro over Contentstack and Shogun because it is an all-in-one DXP. It has everything built-in that a business would need to flourish and grow.
Chose Experro
The value-for-money, 24x7 support, integration capabilities, and smooth working were a few of the many reasons that we chose Experro.
Chose Experro
We did come across a couple of DXP. After a lot of evaluation (and team fights), we reached to a conclusion that we started using Experro.
Chose Experro
Before Experro, we were using a content management system that was slow, high maintenance and limited in features, which not only took a toll on our SEO performance but hindered our overall content management process. We were looking for something more agile and streamlined …
Chose Experro
Firstly the pricing plans have a vast difference. We were amazed at how feather-light Experro was on our pockets. On top of that, the ease of comprehension and use of the platform was higher in Experro as compared to Vue Storefront. Relying on Experro was totally worth the …
Chose Experro
We considered Bloomreach, Contentstack, Contentful, and Experro. After comparing the services, integration capabilities, and pricing, we went ahead with Experro. The experience of working with them has been a smooth ride. We are looking forward to more success with Experro …
Chose Experro
In my opinion, setting up Experro is much easier compare to Bloomreach and we also didn't have to integrate with whole lot of tools to get the end results. Also, Experro is DXP with a combination of multiple tools like Headless CMS, Search, Merchandising, etc. giving us all the …
Chose Experro
In my experience, Experro is Highly affordable, no operational overhead, fully-managed so you can focus on your business whereas contentful has a Higher license, development, and maintenance costs.Experro integrates with any eCommerce platform and offers a fully-managed …
Monetate
Chose Monetate
It was what the company used before I started.
Chose Monetate
Easier to use, more flexible, and better vendor support
Chose Monetate
Not as advanced, and possibly not as bespoke in configuration. However as a designer these had a much more user friendly interface and easier to learn/master.
Chose Monetate
Increased options to run multi-variant tests in more complex scenarios allow more autonomy for merchandisers to set more complex recommendation strategies.
Chose Monetate
At the time of selection, it was the best tool to fit our business needs. The day-to-day users were able to create some experiences on their own and did not require much oversight. We also had developer support built into our contract along with internal developer support so …
Chose Monetate
The key differentiator at the time was that Monetate provided strategic resources that the other solutions did not around roadmap planning, development, and QA.
Chose Monetate
The platform evolves as the industry evolves which means it is able to grow with your brand. Upgrades are automatic which means you won't go through hard work in order to use the latest capabilities.
Chose Monetate
Certona offered better pricing, a stronger data-based experience and algorithm-derived solution, and a better account management experience (based on customer feedback). Although the interface/portal for some of the other competitors was a little more user-friendly, we …
Chose Monetate
Monetate is more flexible than Adobe with a much better UI for testing and targeting. It is more cost effective than Certona, and gets higher average order lift than MyBuys for product recommendations.
Chose Monetate
The feature set of Monetate was more robust than Optimizely and analytics were more reliable. Pricing and feature set were pretty close to Maximizer, but the interface in Monetate was more intuitive.
Chose Monetate
N/A
This is my first time using a tool like this so I cannot compare however I don't see any need to try anything else. The team is helpful, the tool works and they resolve any concerns or issues when they do come up.
Chose Monetate
The simplicity, performance, reliability, cost and customer service of Monetate are all superior to Adobe in my opinion.
Chose Monetate
N/A
Chose Monetate
Monetate's user interface is more user friendly.
Chose Monetate
We did look at some competitors and found that Monetate allowed use to build more of the actions ourselves. The builders that Monetate offer are very easy to follow and understand and you don't need to be an expert coder nor do you have to rely on the vendor to build all …
Chose Monetate
Flexibility in building campaigns, interface and support services.
Chose Monetate
Monetate is the first tool of its kind that I have used.
Chose Monetate
I haven't had a chance to use any other tool similar to Monetate
Chose Monetate
I've not used any alternatives and I don't think I would ever need to now.

Pros
  • Experro's Headless Store Frontend integrated with our existing backend on Shopify, creating rich, lightning-fast, headless content and commerce experiences without requiring us to overhaul our system.
  • It bundled all the necessary components for headless eCommerce implementation, eliminating the need for separate hosting, CDN, or CMS.
  • Experro offered revenue-generating search experiences for each customer, significantly increasing our conversions.

  • Audience segmentation is relatively painless. They provide a robust way to granularly target visitors by device type, location, weather, demographics, etc.
  • Our CSM has been very engaged and detailed in supporting our partnership. She provides very prompt responses and clearly works hard to push the Kibo team when possible.
  • The User Interface to develop new actions is not terrible.
  • Supports Single Sign On, which is the preferred method of managing users at my organization.

Cons
  • While the current menu management works effectively, some users may find a simplified user interface to be more intuitive and user-friendly.

  • The learning curve is a little steep, especially if you're unfamiliar with HTML/CSS. The tool is so powerful but can be overwhelming at first. The intro instructional videos/content is helpful but it doesn't cover everything. We needed to partner with an optimization company to better understand the tool and get started.
  • Setting up an experiment for the first time isn't simple when you're a marketer who is inexperienced with any sort of web development or even just HTML/CSS. While you can easily select the area you want to create a test with, you don't have a way to easily manipulate that section without the use of HTML/CSS.
  • The first optimization company Monetate recommended us to was horrible - it really was awful working with them. We had dedicated (paid for!) hours that got wasted after the company wasted our time in each meeting (when we did have one - they often needed to reschedule) and they barely knew what our company even did despite multiple meetings. Those hours, despite the awful experience, were never fulfilled, never reimbursed, never carried over to the new (and far better) company. This left a bad taste in my mouth. While I really like this product and it does everything we need, this awful experience and lack of ownership on their end was highly disappointing. We are moving forward though - and happy with our results.

I had never worked within a company that had a tool like this. It made my life as a designer and a creative manager much easier with it's easy to use interface and limitless possibilities in terms of creative. I would highly recommend taking Monetate for a test drive, you will not be disappointed.

Usability
The ease of use is top-notch! Honestly, the platform is intuitive. Whether it i uploading new content or managing the digital assets of a landing page - we got the hang of it pretty quickly.
Read full review
Part of what I love about Monetate is how intuitive the tool is. Very very easy to use - based on the basics - Who/What/When/Where concept. Anyone can jump right in and start using the tool. And very easy to copy campaigns and tweak to continue to build experiences. We recently added Monetate on mobile and similar experience - easy to jump back and forth between platforms. Also love the analytics dashboard...easily quantifiable and easy to get tidbits that are digestible for others not as familiar with tool.

We had contacted the support team to solve our doubts about the theme integration. The team was quick. Apparently they are available 24x5, it is pretty much enough to cover all our needs in the real-time.

Monetate support team meets with use weekly, answers emails daily and promptly. They are proactive about getting answers for us when we need it and offering suggestions based on observations they have or learnings they want to share from other partners. Monetate's support is top notch.

Monetate installs easily and sets up personalization with just a few clicks. We never used the recommendation engine but the multivariant testing was great.

In my experience, Experro is Highly affordable, no operational overhead, fully-managed so you can focus on your business whereas Contentful has a Higher license, development, and maintenance costs.Experro integrates with any eCommerce platform and offers a fully-managed frontend out-of-the-box while there is a need to hire developers to stitch Contentstack, eCommerce APIs, and third-party apps into a “custom” build frontend.

At the time of selection, it was the best tool to fit our business needs. The day-to-day users were able to create some experiences on their own and did not require much oversight. We also had developer support built into our contract along with internal developer support so most experiences were achievable. We believed it was as good and in some ways better than the other comparable tools on the market.

Return on Investment
  • Switching to Experro has saved a lot of our developers' time, getting them to focus on other pertinent tasks instead of making daily updates on the website
Read full review
  • We've had great results with our tests! We've seen a solid ROI on most, and we've been able to identify areas we shouldn't be investing resources into.
  • Our teams have really pulled together to come up with ideas and test them. Putting a monetary amount on new features has helped the company understand the value of web dev, CX/UX, and marketing campaigns.
