Pros

They are responsive and friendly. We are developing a set of bundles that allow the management of Print publications and the PimCore / Active WebToPrint solution is a great success.
Our developers love the ease with which they can extend the framework and contribute to community.
It has help them improve their data quality and greatly reduce their time to market for months to days.

Pros

Overall, this has been a very enjoyable experience and with the ease of how Akeneo is, our Business is now dependant on how powerful and quickly we can get to market.
Attribution features are excellent. A lot of opportunities for improvement within the Akeneo product, e.g. its business rules feature.
The offered support is freaking excellent, we got the answers needed during adoption in a very reasonable time, with a very comprehensive language.

Cons

The data delivery channels can sometimes break down causing loss of time and information.
That means that updates can be somewhat painful (ExtJs 3 to ExtJs 6, Zend Framework to Symfony). But I wouldn't say that they are any more painful than updates in competing products.
Additionally pimcore offers an ecommerce framework which I personally have no real experience with.

Cons

My biggest complaint is that we used an implementation partner; after going through the setup of our environment, it seemed to me that we could handle 90% of the tasks ourselves.
Our integration didn't go all that well, so our product families were never set up correctly which caused a lot of issues with our website. That is more of an internal problem though.
URL's cannot be displayed immediately as an image in the product unless you select the "Image" which is a bit difficult to process when exporting.

Pimcore

Outstanding framework for PIM/CMS/DAM/e-commerce needs

Reviewed 7 years ago

Pimcore has helped us set up very flexible and scalable PIM and CMS set up for our customers with less cost. We are able to extend the features based on the Customer's specific requirements without too much effort. Our developers love the ease with which they can extend the framework and contribute to community. Our customers are pleased with the features they get from the Product that makes their day to day tasks easy. We have been able to enable our non-IT business users to manage and control their PIM implementations with very basic training.

Pros

Pimcore is a very flexible and extendable framework combining PIM, DAM, CMS and e-commerce capabilities all in one suit. There are abundant features, so much that we still discover new ones with each implementation. The product is evolving and the Pimcore team keeps on adding new features and functionalities based on the market need. Almost all features are generic and extendible. It's easy for...

Cons

Since Pimcore is a framework and not a Product, some customizations are always required to implement customer requirements, which in other Product based software may be available out of box. But again that is something that makes it extendible and makes it possible to extend and implement any feature desired.

Very Flexible and Easy To Use for PIM, DAM and General purpose usage

Reviewed 7 years ago

-- Easy to use and learn -- Pimcore is a very good product for PIM, DAM and web content management. -- Can do almost everything which a MVC based framework does. -- DB Read and write inbuilt separation in configuration -- Library for Redis and CDN usage -- Good Documentation

Pros

-- Thin learning Curve for Developer -- Out of Box Functionality allows non Technical to manage the Admin -- Easy to manage Admin sections -- Redis Support -- Easy Customization -- API Support -- Supports the latest version of PHP -- Usage of Ext JS makes it more flexible -- Its flexible architecture offers you an effective way to arrange your data models and define where its information is published

Cons

-- Need to code for frontend -- E commerce Plug-in in not available for all. -- I am able to meet my all business need for my client till now. So do not find anything as cons for it

Pimcore

The only real solution of its kind

Reviewed 6 years ago

I have been working on a wide range of projects with Pimcore: pure CMS, CMS+PIM, CMS+DAM, PIM+DAM, E-commerce, REST Apis, Mobile App Backend, etc. Pimcore could handle all of those without issues and was joy to use! It also made the development much faster than building everything from scratch.

Pros

It can cover almost all of the needs one could imagine in a digital transformation project (CMS, DAM, PIM, Web-2-Print, ...). But what I find really excellent is that one is not really forced into using any of these components. Pimcore makes it very easy to integrate with external services and that is something that very few other systems manage to do.

Cons

Pimcore is moving fast. That means that updates can be somewhat painful (ExtJs 3 to ExtJs 6, Zend Framework to Symfony). But I wouldn't say that they are any more painful than updates in competing products. Integration with the Symfony Framework was a very good step which will make the product that much more stable and easier to update in the future.

Vendor response

Thank you very much for this review and your kind words, Igor! As Pimcore Gold Partner and winner of the case study of the year 2018 awards, Basilicom is a trusted partner and highly recommended Pimcore implementation partner! Best, Christian - Marketing & Partner Management

Innovative Digital Commerce Framework connects Content and Commerce

Reviewed 8 years ago

Pimcore is an outstanding framework for Digital Commerce. It combines content and e-commerce in a way, it's been demanded for years, but has never actually been implemented in any framework or platform. Further, pimcore offers the functionality of a Content Management, - a Digital Asset Management (DAM), - and a Product Information Management system. In addition, pimcore provides a high-performance e-commerce framework to its partner agencies, in order to realize more ambitious Digital Commerce projects.

Pros

It is not only open source in terms of the license but by concept. It simplifies technology and enables the customer to participate in the digital revolution.

Cons

Pimcore will fail if you expect to find a complete solution for your business case right off the bat. It needs professional advise for customization an implementation.

Pimcore keeps your products up to date

Reviewed 2 years ago

Pimcore is a tool used in our company of mass consumption distribution for the development of information sheets on each of our products, our products are supported with all the necessary information required by the consumer before making your purchase, this leads to maintain greater confidence as a distributor managing to maintain a better connection with each of our customers.

Pros

Digital commerce is the new boom of this era, therefore carrying the necessary information in all our products promotes the confidence of our customers and allows us to maintain an acceptable level of sales, increasing every day and giving us to know that customers like to know the products we sell. Operational efficiency was also increased because now we can know what products to market at the right...

Cons

Despite having a great customer support team and a fairly simple overall usability it was a bit difficult to implement the tool to our operations, but after that the results have been very beneficial. The user interface could be a bit better, as it seems a bit outdated for this day and age. The data delivery channels can sometimes break down causing loss of time and information.
