Verified User Anonymous Chose Optimizely Feature Experimentation In other companies, all of the feature flag controls were done locally and it got messy after a while.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Optimizely Feature Experimentation Optimizely FX is the only tool I've used that specifically allows for testing in the back-end.

Likelihood to Recommend	Based on my experience with Optimizely Feature Experimentation, I can highlight several scenarios where it excels and a few where it may be less suitable. Well-suited scenarios: - Multi-Channel product launches - Complex A/B testing and feature flag management - Gradual rollout and risk mitigation Less suited scenarios: - Simple A/B tests (their Web Experimentation product is probably better for that) - Non-technical team usage - Incentivized Andrei Beno Director of Product Management Read full review	If you are writing apis and you make a logic change for eg change format of a number from showing no decimal points to 2 decimal points, and screen of your older version of ui app does not have enough space on screen which makes the ux break, instead of releasing a new version of the api you can toggle off the feature for app versions lower than the one being targetted so that api keeps responding with zero decimal points for older app and with decimal points for the newer version of the app Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Splitting traffic between variants and enabling you to scale up or down the amount of traffic in each one Giving a standardised report that you can share with a huge number of users Showing a large variety of results/metrics you can then dive into Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Difficult integration if your data is not front end Costly MAU model needs to be based on experiments not on site visits It's not easy to understand how to build an Experiment Onboarding team is more focused on punching through their slides and not focused on your needs or understanding.

Usability	Easy to navigate the UI. Once you know how to use it, it is very easy to run experiments. And when the experiment is setup, the SDK code variables are generated and available for developers to use immediately so they can quickly build the experiment code Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Support was there but it was pretty slow at most times. Only after escalation was support really given to our teams Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	It’s straightforward. Docs are well written and I believe there must be a support. But we haven’t used it Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	In previous companies I've used Monetate which is a similar A/B testing kind of feature experimentation engine that is very similar from my memory, but again, back to the point of these new features of the analytics engine and Opal, it kind of cuts it above Monetate from my experience. Obviously Monetate may have improved since when I lost use it, but from what I can see, yeah. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Scalability	had troubles with performance for SSR and the React SDK Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	We have a huge, noteworthy ROI case study of how we did a SaaS onboarding revamp early this year. Our A/B test on a guided setup flow improved activation rates by 20 percent, which translated to over $1.2m in retained ARR.
