What problems is Core dna solving and how is that benefiting you?

With our recent CMS upgrade, the Core dna team were able to custom build us a platform that is meeting our everyday requirements. One of the biggest items they solved in the upgrade, was to add scheduling to specific components in our templates that weren't previously available. This allows us to work well in advance, schedule and forget! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Core dna?

Core dna has quite a lot of features to it, probably too many. We were able to use their applications to build out a useful FAQ application for our sales staff and didn't need additional software to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Core dna?

Core dna needs to think about having more API end points open, i.e. to manipulate more of the user and group profiles from other apps. Also more event based triggers would be useful to connect it with other systems, like our Salesforce instance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Core dna:

Talk to their technical sales staff, and think about your information architecture as early as possible in the process. You may discover they have other useful functionality for your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Core dna solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to have a solution to gather knowledge inside our organization and have it in a presentable and structured manner. Previously we used Google Drive and Dropbox but this wasn't scale-able, or brand-able. We also wanted the opportunity to open up parts of our system to partners in a partner portal.

What do you like best about Core dna?

The DXP platform is flexible and offers a wide range of tools and features. Content access permissions are super helpful when developing for select audiences or for testing purposes. The hooks feature offers event based actions which is great for third-party integrations, error reporting and ecommerce post-purchase events. Development on CoreDNA provides extensive classes and functions allowing you to easily create custom scripts and templates for all aspects of the site. The platform speed is also fantastic on both the front and back ends.

CoreDNA consistently releases platform updates and enhancements which is great as a developer looking for new features or improvements. Their customer support is extremely responsive and the dev team is super knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Core dna?

The attachments feature needs the ability to create attachment specific custom fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Core dna solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Core dna?

Core dna is easy to use, and you can get the hang of it even if you aren't familiar with using content management systems. I've used my fair share of content management systems (WordPress, Sitecore, Joomla, Shopify, etc), and I was impressed by the user-friendliness, as well as the speed of Core dna. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Core dna?

The user interface isn't the prettiest on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Core dna:

Talk to their team, they're very friendly, and if they feel your project isn't a good fit, I get the impression that they'd make that clear instead of selling you a dream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Core dna solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've used Core dna to help build a business website that showcases products and services. It helped when it came to structuring content, managing digital assets, managing a blog, and launching quickly. As a (relatively) non-technical person who's focused on content creation and presentation, I needed a few days to adjust, but once I learned my way around, I found it easy to use.

What do you like best about Core dna?

Responsive and accurate team with great support. As we approached some critical holiday dates revolving around Cyber Monday, we needed an update to our commerce system that would allow us to implement a specific tactic for remarketing. The Core dna team nailed it. This is just one of many positive experiences with this team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Core dna?

There are a ton of features, if you truly want to leverage the full capabilities of the system it does take some time. To remedy this I have scheduled time to experiment with the system to dive deeper into areas of the platform I havent been exposed to yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Core dna solving and how is that benefiting you?

The bridge between technical and marketing is always a puzzle. Being able to have a platform that has great capabilities for a marketer and the ability to expand those capabilities as needed has been very helpful in generating eCommerce revenue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Core dna?

The team at core dna cares. That's the root of it. If you don't succeed, they don't. Your deadlines are theirs and they aim to please. They are also regularly rolling out changes to help all accounts and what helps one helps all, as it should be. Their APIs and integrations have made rolling out international websites simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Core dna?

Sometimes our close relationship with the team can get in the way, but it's what makes them feel like part of the business instead of just a company that just want to invoice us for hours worked and instead works with us to improve their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Core dna:

Consider your growth plans, ie if you will be working in multiple countries or you have multiple brands. Their Customer success staff can bring experience from other brands and industries and knowledgable in the space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Core dna solving and how is that benefiting you?

We no longer need to have a Magento development team on retainer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Core dna?

The easy to use interface. Even if you have not used anything similar prior to using CoreDNA the site is easy to navigate and quite instinctual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Core dna?

The particular business requirements we had were quite unique and thus prevented some challenges with integration to backend systems. Some things are unnecessarily repetitive i.e. being booted back to page 1 each time you make a change to something and having to go back to the page you were working on each time you want to make an update to a product, login, discount etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Core dna solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have achieved a web service integration with our current systems eliminated manual entry by our Customer Service Team. This has also eliminated poor data quality and integrity from manual entry. We have been able to roll this solution out to our retail partners in store as a means of sales order entry and payment gateway which is replicated in our central data base. This solution also provides a means of communication on product, pricing, servicing and company information to our valued partners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
