In our experience the Purple DS is continuously adapted to customer needs, e.g. using structured data for a mobile optimized read mode within the apps.

Pros
The opportunities of customization are very helpful to improve our products and processes. This enables us to create scalable and standardized solutions with less effort.

Cons
The UX/UI of the Purple Manager can be optimized. Sometimes certain functionalities can hardly be found.

The support is really good and they always find the best solution for our needs as the tool has a lot of opportunities and potential. We like the product and the people we work with! :)

Pros
Very intuitive and logical structure of the backend. Easy FTP upload of the pdfs. A very nice app design focused on the user experience. A lot of flexibility in the app design as you also can integrate html snippets. Useful features which are easy to handle like the coupon feature.

Cons
When you make an app update you have a lot of options regarding colour configuration, that needs a lot of time and attention, but this is of course also an advantage. To have a small knowledge of html is very useful to use the advanced features. I´m missing the jpg/png upload function for in app banners. At the moment you have to use the purple composer for in app banners and this tool is just working with iOS.
