10 reviewers had the following to say about inRiver PIM's features:
Beneficial for workflow management as well
Pros
This is an all in one solution, though we experinented with it largely as a PIM. It is not the software we ended up going forward with but I still think it is a great solution
Cons
Also, We would have limited control and needed to contact them for every update or change

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We're disappointed inRiver was not the right fit for your organization, but we appreciated the opportunity to talk about your needs.
inRiver is truly the only enterprise-level PIM that includes syndication. Your assessment in our DAM capabilities are absolutely correct. The inRiver platform is more built for organizations looking to consolidate data sets out of the DAM and optimize their configuration for the benefits of suppliers, distributors, retailers, and online marketplaces. And we're pleased to say we've also made vast improvements in recent months in our ability to import and export large amounts of data for global organizations. We wish you luck with your selected solution and hope to have the opportunity to stay connected.
The major benefit is the PIM-benefit: one source of truth. We connected our website, our media publisher, our webshops to it. And we are expanding. inRiver can manage it all.
Pros
Because it is relation based, you can link anything to eachother.
Cons
Other annoying thing is that the Fieldsets not read only are; if someone changes the Fieldset, data can be lost (unintentionally).

We appreciate your review of our cloud-based PIM product.
Pros
I like that it's creates a great tool to house all the product data that you need to bring your products to market.
Cons
With this too, there isn't a great tool for external users of the system. The UI isn't as friendly as other competitors within the marketplace.

On behalf of the whole inRiver team, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We are glad that you find value in our PIM solution and are looking forward to developing our partnership and move forward together.
They have been there for us every time we've needed business questions or technical development questions answered.
Pros
From our user's perspective, who are accustomed to working with spreadsheets, inRiver's ability to download product/item related data into a spreadsheet, allow users to modify their data, and then ingest the spreadsheet, updating the PIM.
Cons
That's a tough one... I'll let you know when I come up with something!

We can give everyone their own sign on and not worry that information will be changed by accident, as we have control through permissions. I also love the fact that it is able to work with the ERP system and every night it does an "auto load" into PIM of certain fields.
Pros
We were able to create fieldsets that matched our catalog and kept the organizing easy. Now we just keep packing in more and more product information.
Cons
What I like least about the software is not having more control over it within our own organization and having to find a partner to do changes for us.

We appreciate your review Kimberly and happy that your experience with us as the One Source of Truth is wonderful.
Overall, this system will be very beneficial to our workflows. It is much easier to access product information and have everything current and in one place.
Pros
I love how it has really improved our process of finding, adding and editing information related to our products. The system is very modern and intelligent in terms of quickly adding information. I also like that the system "speaks" to other systems we use.
Cons
The only thing that's a little difficult to figure out is the "queries" for searching.

InRiver has helped us very quickly create a rich eCommerce experience. But the On Prem version is very far behind Cloud at this point, and that's disappointing. We feel like forgotten step kids.
Pros
We use the PIM for all our text content and as a sort of pseudo DAM, and it works great for amalgamating and tracking resources.
Cons
The Print module is extremely unintuitive and I wish I had more control over the Work Area column in Enrich.

The biggest problem-solver for us has been the ability to store images and documents and have them linked to products so that you make sure you always have the latest version of your image/document and can easy send them to our customers.
Pros
The ability to store and link photos and documents to our products.
Cons
If you want a few extra apps it costs a bit more.
