Pros and Cons
Robust targeting - Not just within the targeting/audience capabilities, but even using the profile script functions for more complex tests or when desired targeting is not "out-of-the-box."
Integrates extremely well with Adobe Analytics, which is to be expected - Being while both were not initially developed by Adobe, they now own each and has made drastic strides over the last few years to improve that integration through Analytics for Target (A4T).
Form-based editor has a bit of a learning curve, but very intuitive once you become familiar with it.

The test report page is very intuitive. It is very easy to analyze a test based on different segments such as new and returning users.
Having confidence levels inserted into the reporting tool is a key feature. While it is a simple feature, it allows users to easily understand when results are significant.
We have recently created swim lanes for traffic and this has been very helpful to make sure that different tests are not crossing over in terms of traffic.

The product is extremely simple and easy to use. The interface is very intuitive and the learning curve is miniscule if one possesses the knowledge of the proper web technologies.
It is a robust piece of software with the ability to interface with other Adobe/Omniture products via plugins. In our organization, this cross-functionality saves a lot of time and resources. The terminology is also the same across all Adobe/Omniture products to make for an easy transition.
The tool also provides one with the ability to execute multiple tests simultaneously and to segment traffic to particular tests. The software is extremely scalable.
