Recognition from industry analysts continues to shape buying decisions across the MarTech ecosystem, particularly as brands invest more heavily in personalization and digital experience platforms. In this context, Optimizely has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Personalization Engines, marking the second consecutive year the company has received this distinction.
Optimizely, known for its digital experience platform focused on experimentation, personalization, and optimization, said the recognition reflects continued progress in making personalization more scalable and easier to manage for modern teams. The company positions its platform as one that enables marketers, developers, and growth leaders to deliver relevant digital experiences while reducing operational complexity.
“We’re honored to be recognized as a Leader by Gartner for the second year in a row,” said Rupali Jain, Chief Product Officer at Optimizely. “At Optimizely, our goal is simple: empower teams to create digital experiences that not only delight customers, but also feel effortless for teams to manage. With AI driven personalization and data powered insights, customers can turn ideas into unique experiences at scale to drive real impact for their business.”
Over the past year, Optimizely has expanded its personalization and optimization capabilities across several areas of its platform. A key development followed the company acquisition of NetSpring in late 2024, which extended Optimizely analytics functionality to work directly with customer data warehouses. This approach allows organizations to analyze experimentation and personalization outcomes more deeply while remaining aligned with enterprise data governance requirements.
In May 2025, Optimizely also introduced Opal, its agent orchestration platform designed to automate personalization workflows. Opal shifts much of the configuration and ongoing optimization effort to AI driven agents, enabling teams to continuously improve experiences over time. By reducing manual setup and management, Optimizely aims to make personalization more accessible and practical at scale.
The company has continued to invest in developer focused innovation as well. Through freemium offerings and integrations with platforms such as Microsoft Copilot and Optimizely Opal, technical teams can streamline experimentation setup, iterate more efficiently, and support advanced personalization use cases without added friction.
These developments highlight Optimizely broader strategy of delivering a unified platform that connects experimentation, analytics, and personalization. For marketers and digital teams, this integration is intended to improve decision making, accelerate execution, and drive measurable business outcomes in increasingly complex digital environments.
The 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Personalization Engines evaluates vendors based on their ability to execute and completeness of vision. Optimizely recognition as a Leader reinforces its position as a key player in enterprise personalization, at a time when brands are prioritizing relevance, agility, and data driven customer experiences.
