"Pretty good CMS tool"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Optimizely Content Management System?

It is mostly straightforward to use and customizable. You can highly customize using code. As a developer, I use it to create new screen message and page templates that can be edited by others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Content Management System?

I did not like the training material, yawn. The interface seems a bit clunky and outdated. I have not used other CMS solutions so I don't have others to compare to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful system but could be more intuitive"

The system of blocks and pages works well provide you need to have a good understanding of css/html. Promotions and personalisation are great additions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Content Management System?

Relatively steep learning curve for a non technical person. Can be confusing sometimes and it’s easy to make a mess if you don’t keep everything very organised. Need more promotion types and it could do being a bit faster and less clunky to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent System"
