Optimizely also received high marks for its partner ecosystem, including the dedicated Partner Solution Architect team to assist with onboarding and ramping up new partners quickly in using the system. Partners evaluated for the report noted the company as quick to install with a well-documented and easy to use API set. In July, the company launched the Optimizely Technology Partner Network to bring a smart tech stack to customers through strategic partnerships.

“We’re honored to be named a Leader by IDC as it validates our focus to enable companies to create digital experiences based on data rather than guesswork,” said Alex Atzberger, CEO of Optimizely. “A company’s digital experience is not only the soul of its brand but also the engine of their business. Companies need to adapt to way customers want to engage. We are continuing to focus on strengthening our DXP to help our customers become adaptive so that they not only survive but thrive.”
