Pros and cons

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.
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.

Endless options

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

The level of customization is basically infinitely, but you need to be able to use them. Means you need somebody who can code.

Cons

These endless options can be overwhelming and/or cost you a lot of time and money.

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 The user interface could be a bit better, as it seems a bit outdated for this day and age.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.

Way more flexible than it's competitors

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Every datamodel is possible, no boundaries. We used it for solutions that could not be done by other PIM systems. It includes PIM, DAM, MDM and more.

Cons

The current user interface doesn't look very nice. It's good that we know hear this will be solved!

Brilliant tool for organizing information

Reviewed 2 years ago

In general Pimcore is a perfect tool for companies which struggle with organizing big amount of data. Integration and implementation requires help from specialists.

Pros

- ease of use - intuitive interface - all product content is well organized and stored - DAM - you can easily adapt software to your needs - one platform for many channels

Cons

- implementation wasn't the easiest one

Not my favourite

Reviewed 5 years ago

We currently have our main website on Pimcore, does the job but doesn't add anything great.

Pros

Does the job, you can run your website on Pimcore, update it. We have a bespoke version, which isn't ideal as then you're stuck with whoever developed your website - rather than being able to hire other developers.

Cons

It's not very easy to use, you can find your way around it but it does take a while. And as mentioned, because we have a bespoke solution that means that when we need anything changed, we are stuck with going back to the company that initially developed the website for us.

Vendor response

Thank you very much for your review Rita. Pimcore is an enterprise digital experience platform (DXP). Its basic features are always enriched and highly tailored towards the individual digitization needs of its users. Especially larger companies with complex requirements value the large flexibility that this approach provides them in regards of providing a highly personalized experience to their customers.

Better and better

Reviewed 5 years ago

We work exclusively with PimCore since v3, which is to say how much we appreciate this software and just congratulate us. 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. Their annual Inspire conference has opened up the international market to us naturally and we now have customers in Europe, USA, Africa, etc ... Many thanks to them without whom we would not have the success we have. I recommend VERY HIGHLY!

Pros

PimCore is the only open-source platform with full PIM, DAM and CMS capabilities. With our plugins, this is the only solution that allow to manage Print draf and publications, connected to InDesign or exporting directly to PDF HD CMYK, in addition to native features. With its GPL license, everything is accessible and it is easy to develop plugins, overload existing functions, modify the interface, etc ... A MUST HAVE

Cons

To be honest, not much. Can be a more user-friendly interface but the v6 should fix that

Great Platform for Building Enterprise Grade PIM, MDM, DAM application

Reviewed 6 years ago

Pimcore has helped our customer cut across data silos and get a unified clean view of their data and assets. It has help them improve their data quality and greatly reduce their time to market for months to days.

Pros

The key features I love about Pimcore: - Completely flexible and extensible data model that allows creating complex data model with ease. - Only platform having fully Integrated PIM, MDM and DAM features eliminating need for multiple application and no duplication of data - Completely open-source and zero license fees. - Built on Symfony, one more the most popular MVC frameworks for building enterprise application with PHP. - Great support from the vendor , partners and community.

Cons

Pimcore is a Platform, not an out of the box Software. It may not be the best choice if you are looking for one..

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

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

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.
