700 billion application instances can't be wrong. That is how many application experiments that have run on the Optimizely platform since its inception, for both big and small companies. It has become the industry standard for testing web applications. Whether you are a developer testing a new feature or a marketer testing a new advertising strategy, you will find Optimizely not only useful but an almost necessary component of your workflow. Among its many positives is its ease of use. Regardless of level of expertise, users will feel at once comfortable using its interface, and its overall learning curve is small.
