Best at cost/benefit, advanced tool

Pros

  • segmentations
  • reporting inside the tool
  • capability to integrate ad-ons to the test's variants
  • chat support

  • QA needs be easier
  • Improve QA on mobile

Powerful, Flexible & Really Easy to Use Tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use AB Tasty mainly in our design cycle, in order to confirm hypotheses, designs, or business initiatives. AB Tasty is a really important part of our product cycle, and product owners and designers still need to be evangelized.

Pros

  • Support: the CSMs (big up Eloise) are great, and support us a lot on different topics/aspects, which is not always the case for other solutions.
  • Client-side: It is really easy to use, flexible, and there are no technical issues.
  • The devs: the developers at AB Tasty are really reactive, and provide big support. Some of our AB tests are really complex, but we have never had any issues during the dev phase.

Cons

  • Client-side: some modules/features need a bit of 'renewing'. For example, the WYSIWYG still looks a bit dated.
  • IA: I would like to see if you might be planning to provide personalization based on an algorithm.

Most Important Features

  • It is great for our client-side.
  • WYSIWYG is an important feature for us to use.
  • We like to use the widgets.
  • I miss the old heatmap.

Return on Investment

  • Big positive impact on the global revenue and conversion for my organization.
  • We had lots of huge insights collected, which helped for the revamp of our main website.
