(Re)Introducing your favorite Optimizely products!
New names, same best-in-class functionality
It's important to us that you, our valued customers and partners, can identify with the tools you use daily.
In that pursuit, Optimizely set out to simplify the way we talk about our product suite. That starts, first and foremost, with the words we use to refer to the technology.
So, we’ve taken a hard look at everything in our portfolio, and are thrilled to introduce new names we believe are more practical, more consistent, and better representative of the technology we all know and love.
You may have seen some of these names initially at Opticon 2022 as well as on our website. In the spirit of transparency, the team here at Optimizely wanted to make sure you had full visibility into the complete list of new names, as well as understand the context (and rationale) behind the changes.
So, without further ado…
Which names changed?
Some, but not all. For your ongoing reference, below is a complete list of Optimizely products, with previous terminology you may be familiar with in the first column, and (if applicable) the new name in the second column.

So, why the change?
It boils down to three guiding principles:
- Uniformity: Create a naming convention that can be applied across the board, for all products, to drive consistency
- Simplicity: Use terms that are both practical and concise, ensuring the names are something that everyone can understand and identify with
- Completeness: Develop a framework that showcases the full and complimentary nature of all the products and solutions within the Optimizely suite
As the Optimizely portfolio comes together as a complete, unified platform, it’s important that our names reflect this, as well as support our 3 key solutions (i.e. orchestrate amazing content experiences, monetize every digital experience, and experiment across all touchpoints).
