Google Optimize vs. Kameleoon

Google Optimize is well suited for testing small changes on the browser pages. You have the option of changing designs, texts, and some small features on the page. The audience can be divided using a long list of factors, so it makes it quite easy to set up the test. It is not well suited for complicated feature tests where you need to monitor the user over a long period or where the user is likely to use multiple sessions across multiple devices or browsers

• We can easily create A/B tests and personalizations to target specific audiences and improve the customer journey
• The widget editor is intuitive and very easy to use, a lot of features are available without any code
• The result analysis dashboard is easy to read and understand : we have very detailed data to analyze the performance of our experiments, even on pages with low traffic thanks to the CUPED algorithm.
• We strongly recommend Kameleoon !

• Easy test implementation. You're up and running once you've pinned down your hypothesis.
• Goals and conversion points can be easily mapped to any test.
• Customization of goals in case you don't have one setup.
• Integrated with Google Analytics so you can correlate with other metrics under behavior and e-commerce data.

• The segment builder is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. Works wonderfully with Mixpanel. Our team managed to set up our segments and experiments within a couple of hours.
• Great customer service and willingness to help with any of our questions.
• Very secure testing environment for our A/B testing experiments. We had a staging environment easily set up for review and testing before live deployment. We needed a HIPAA compliant solution, and Kameleoon delivers.

• Track site performance with each test version; see if the resource timing of each test has anything to do with conversion rates.

• Interface of the graphics editor is quite conceptual. It is fine after a few days but it takes a little while to recognize some icons.
• Their online tutorial could also be easily improved.
• If you want to do major graphical changes on your website, you will have to inject JS and CSS code which requires some technical background but I don’t know if that point can be improved.

Google has always been known to make easy-to-use products. The Google Optimize interface is intuitive and easy to follow for anyone.

Kameleoon offers one of the best UI's I've seen when I've compared it to 4 of the other big competitors in the landscape. They have some improvement areas when it comes to the UX - Which is easily solvable if/when prioritized. There's a little to much "clicking" and "new tabs" in my opinion

Google has well-documented resources and unlimited use cases that can be found online. Plus, their support is always helpful and available.

Our Kameleoon team is also very dedicated to us. We have weekly meetings to review our project roadmap and the results of our ongoing campaigns. Kameleoon’s team is very supportive and ambitious for every project. The responsiveness of the teams is also very helpful and reassuring when there are up and downs (as happens in every relationship).

We switched from Google Optimize to AB Tasty which is a paid platform. AB Tasty provides much better capabilities and support, although this is with a cost implication which Google Optimize didn’t have. Google Optimize was useful as an introductory platform prior to getting a full programme running but this has now sunset so is no longer available.

The agency that helped create our new Headless website recommended Kameleoon and Growth book on top of the stalwart Optimizely. Our final round of POC was between Optimizely and Kameleoon, and the thing that pushed Kameleoon ahead was the size of their snippet and how easy it was to set up the Segment integration out of the box to do what we needed it to do. Although Kameleoon is relatively "new" to the North American market, they have continued to perform above and beyond our expectations.

• Useful with clients on a budget who need to see ROI without another paid platform to install.
• Setting up Google Optimize helps as an additional value add when bidding on projects.
• Nothing negative unless a larger client needs a more robust package; then, there is always Google Optimize 360 as well as platforms from other vendors.

Incentivized

• The platform allows us to test and learn different functionalities.
• We run multiple feature experiments at different levels of the customer journey (search, login, and checkout) to improve efficiency and our conversion rate.
• We are also able to boost our fidelity program to the right audience thanks to AI.
• And obviously, optimize the user experience continuously.
